Stalgast Peeling Knife 90 mm Red for Professional Kitchens

A peeling knife separates the skin of fruit and vegetables from the flesh with a short, curved blade that follows the contours of the produce. The 90 mm blade length gives enough reach for larger items while keeping the control needed for smaller ones, so the operator can work quickly without damaging the edible portion.

The knife is held by the handle and drawn along the surface of the item, using the curve of the blade to lift the peel away in a single strip. The red handle colour is part of an HACCP colour-coding system that assigns a distinct colour to each type of food or task, reducing the risk of cross-contamination between raw meat, poultry, fish, vegetables and ready-to-eat items.

To use the knife, the operator selects produce, washes it if needed, and holds it steady on a worktop or cutting board. The blade is placed against the skin and pulled towards the operator in a smooth motion, rotating the produce as the peel comes away. The process is repeated until the skin is fully removed, and then the knife is set aside for cleaning.

The blade is made of a special alloy metal that holds an edge through repeated use and resists corrosion from acids and moisture in fresh produce. The handle is shaped to fit the hand without slipping, even when wet, and is sealed so that food particles and water cannot enter. Both blade and handle are dishwasher-safe, allowing the knife to be cleaned at high temperatures that sanitise it between uses.

The 90 mm blade length is a balance between reach and precision: long enough to peel larger items like potatoes and cucumbers, short enough to control when peeling smaller items like apples or tomatoes. The red HACCP colour coding means the knife is assigned to a specific food group or task, so staff can identify it at a glance and avoid mixing it with knives used for other purposes.

The knife is sold as a single unit, with no variants or accessories listed. It is categorised under professional kitchen knives and is suitable for commercial kitchens, foodservice operations and catering environments where HACCP colour coding is implemented.
