Stainless Steel Cabbage Peeler
$12.99
Cabbage Peeler with an Extra Wide Blade
Shredding cabbage with a knife takes forever, and the strips are never as thin as the slaw you get at a restaurant. A box grater turns it into mush. A cabbage peeler gives you those fine, fluffy shreds in a few minutes.
It looks like a big Y-peeler. The stainless steel blade is about 11 cm (4.3 in) wide, much wider than a normal peeler, and it sits on a green plastic handle with a hole for hanging. Pull it across a cut cabbage and long, thin ribbons pile up on your board. Restaurant-thin cabbage shreds without a knife or a food processor.
How to shred cabbage with it
- Cut the cabbage in half or in quarters and leave the core in to hold the leaves together.
- Hold a piece cut side up on the board.
- Pull the peeler across the cut face in long strokes, away from your hand.
- Soak the shreds in ice water for a few minutes if you want them extra crisp.
What it's good for
- Coleslaw, salads and taco toppings
- Shredded cabbage for okonomiyaki or tonkatsu
- Sauerkraut and kimchi
- Peeling big vegetables and fruit, like potatoes and apples
Cabbage shredder or cabbage slicer?
A mandoline-style cabbage slicer is faster for huge batches, but it's bigger, harder to clean and harder on fingers. For a head of cabbage a week, this cabbage shredder is all you need, and it fits in a drawer.
Care
Rinse the blade right after use and dry it. Clean it with a brush rather than your fingers, since it's sharp.
If you make slaw or salad often, this tool earns its spot quickly. Add it to your cart, or browse more fruit and vegetable peelers.
