The Well-Armed Prep Cook Here's a trio of tools from Zyliss all under $20 that will make the prep crew happy. The battery operated Multipeeler can peel veggies or sculpt them into ribbons. It cuts shards of chocolate, cheese or cold butter. The serrated blades let you skip the boil and plunge method for tomato peeling. More on Zyliss tools... $19.95 AT AMAZON.COM At first look, the Multipeeler smacked of the unecessary complication of the simplest of kitchen tools. Yet, the commonplace peeler actual could stand an upgrade. To speed the job, you end up slapping the peeler for momentum. Be nice to your crew and give them tools that aren't a strain to use.  This knife costs less than $8 and you'll use it everyday. The Zyliss paring knife has a 3.5 inch serrated steel blade and an ergonomic handle so it just feels good in your hand. The blade cover ups the safety factor and prolongs blade life.  And when recruiting helpers it's smart to have two of a few things. Consider backing up the Multipeeler with a Zyliss Soft skin peeler also under $8. |
