HENDI Asparagus Peeler for Long, Thin Vegetables

An asparagus peeler strips the tough outer skin from long, thin vegetables without breaking the tender core. The blade runs along the surface, removing a thin layer while leaving the flesh intact. This method preserves the shape and texture of vegetables like asparagus, celery or rhubarb, which are too delicate for a standard peeler or knife.

The operator holds the handle and draws the blade along the length of the vegetable in a single, smooth motion. The blade guards prevent the edge from cutting too deeply, so the vegetable remains whole. The process is repeated until the skin is fully removed, leaving a clean, even surface.

The peeler is made from stainless steel, which resists corrosion and maintains a sharp edge through repeated use. The handle and blade guards are shaped to fit comfortably in the hand, reducing strain during extended preparation. Blade guards are made from polypropylene, a material that withstands the heat and detergents of commercial dishwashers.

Controls are limited to the grip and the blade itself. The operator adjusts pressure by hand to suit the thickness and toughness of the vegetable being peeled.

The size of 200 mm long, 50 mm wide and 30 mm high allows the peeler to be stored in a utensil drawer or hung on a hook above the worktop. The handle length of 100 mm provides enough space for a secure grip, while the 43 mm blade is long enough to cover the width of most asparagus spears in a single pass.

Cleaning follows from the materials: stainless steel and polypropylene are both dishwasher safe. The blade guards can be removed for separate cleaning if needed, though the entry does not specify a mechanism for this. No additional maintenance is required beyond routine washing.

The product is listed in the catalogue under vegetable preparation tools, alongside peelers, corers and slicers for professional kitchens.
