Pro Tip & Kitchen Peeler Maintenance: The N°115 Micro-Serrated Peeler is engineered from premium materials to deliver outstanding longevity through daily household use. To ensure the high-precision micro-serrated blade remains factory-sharp and the beautiful natural wood handle retains its structural integrity for decades, hand washing is highly recommended. Never place this tool inside an automatic dishwasher, as harsh chemical detergents and prolonged heat will dry out and crack the timber handle. Simply rinse the peeler under warm running water immediately after use with a soft, non-scratch sponge to remove organic starches, and dry thoroughly with a cloth towel before storing. Avoid leaving the wood handle sitting submerged in a wet sink to prevent moisture absorption, keeping your prep fleet looking pristine and ready for your next culinary creation!
