A tomato to peel without crushing its flesh. A kiwi to prepare for breakfast. Nogent*** micro-serrated peelers support delicate ingredients with an edge that cuts into the skin. The task stays simple, without asking the hand to press harder. Wood or polypropylene, one cutting edge or two: choose a shape that suits your habits and the food you enjoy preparing and sharing.
Fine teeth for delicate skins
With soft fruit, the first contact matters. Too much pressure can mark the flesh before the skin has been removed. Small teeth catch the surface and cut into it precisely. Peeling then follows the movement of the hand. Tomatoes, kiwis or aubergines: micro-serrated peelers are useful when you want to remove the skin while keeping the ingredient intact, ready to cut or serve, rather than pressing down on delicate flesh.
Affidenté® models have four teeth per millimetre, almost invisible to the naked eye. We apply these micro-serrations by hand in our Biesles workshops in Haute-Marne. XC50CrMoV15 stainless steel blades bring this attention to the edge to an everyday task. Their precision does not ask you to learn a complicated technique. It supports a familiar action with a tool suited to soft flesh. The technology stays in the blade; the pleasure is in the preparation.
One cutting edge or two, to suit your hand
The Affidenté® single-edged peeler is designed for right-handed use. Its construction helps prevent clogging and makes cleaning easier. The double-edged version suits both right-handed and left-handed users. These are useful distinctions when choosing: the number of cutting edges concerns how you use the tool, not simply how it looks. Start with your working hand and the shape you find familiar, then consider which handle material you prefer to hold.
Affidenté® Naturel has a PEFC-certified French wild cherry wood handle. Affidenté® Confort uses dishwasher-safe polypropylene. Wooden handles are washed by hand. The Affidenté® blade needs no sharpening. For a tomato salad or a few pieces of fruit, the peeler and paring knife complement one another. One removes the skin; the other cuts the pieces. Two tools with clear purposes, leaving the ingredients ready to join the meal you are preparing, whether for yourself or for a table of friends.
