The vegetable peeler is one of the basic kitchen tools we all own, but most people aren’t using it to the best of its ability. This tiny kitchen tool can do much more than just peel your carrots, potatoes, and other veggies, and here’s how you can put it to some good use.
Melt Your Butter
If you want to use your frozen butter ASAP and don’t have time to wait for it to melt, simply use your vegetable peeler to shave off a couple of slices because they’ll melt faster this way.
Make Chocolate Curls
If you need chocolate curls for decorating your cakes, brownies, pancakes, and other sweet treats, run the vegetable peeler down the surface of the chocolate, and you’ll get what you’re looking for.
Slice Your Cheese
Do you need extra-thin cheese slices to use as a garnish on your sandwiches and pasta? If you can’t make them as thin as you want them to be with a knife, your vegetable peeler will get you there.
Shred Some Cabbage
The grater isn’t the only kitchen tool you can use to shred your cabbage. You can also get the job done with a peeler if you don’t have a grater at hand or want your cabbage pieces to be smaller.
