Kitchen knives and peelers for vegetables, fruit and herbs

Kitchen knives and peelers for food prep

Kitchen knives and peelers make food prep faster and safer. Here you'll find kitchen knives in various sizes and blade shapes as well as peelers and paring knives for fruit, vegetables and fine work.

Which tool for which task

Use a chef's knife with a wide blade for cutting, chopping and mincing vegetables, herbs and meat. A paring knife with a short blade is good for fruit, small vegetables and precise cuts. With swivel and all-purpose peelers, you can thinly peel potatoes, carrots or apples, and a julienne peeler cuts fine vegetable strips. It's important that the handle sits well in your hand and doesn't slip. Rust-resistant stainless steel blades are easy to care for. Whether a knife is dishwasher safe is listed with each item. A blade stays sharp longer if you wash it by hand and dry it right away.

Tip: Cut on a wooden or plastic board, not on glass, stone or porcelain, because hard surfaces dull the edge quickly.
