The Ring Peeler is a kitchen tool consisting of a metal blade with a slot with a sharp edge attached to a handle, used to remove the outer layer the skin or peel of some vegetables such as potatoes, broccoli stalks, and carrots, and fruits such as apples and pears. A peeler is very similar to a potato peeler, but can vary in size and blade style to make it more suitable to specific foods. For example, tomatoes, with their thin skin and tender flesh, are much easier to peel with a serrated blade. The Ring Peeler is very useful.
