Opinel Children’s Vegetable Peeler ‘Le Petit Chef’

Opinel Children’s Peeler ‘Le Petit Chef’ – 12.5 cm

A children’s peeler for learning to peel safely and correctly together

Children often love helping out whilst cooking. With the Opinel Le Petit Chef Children’s Peeler, even little kitchen helpers can get stuck in with preparing ingredients. This 12.5 cm peeler is part of the Opinel Le Petit Chef children’s range and has been specially designed to introduce children to kitchen utensils under supervision. Just like the Le Petit Chef chef’s knife, the peeler features the distinctive red safety ring.

This ring helps children keep their fingers in the right place, thereby supporting the development of correct posture whilst peeling.

Specially designed for children

A standard peeler for adults is not always easy for small hands to hold. With the Le Petit Chef range, Opinel has therefore paid particular attention to the way children hold kitchen utensils. The peeler is 12.5 cm long and features an educational grip that helps children position their fingers correctly. This allows them to learn, under supervision, step by step how to use a peeler.

Red educational ring for a secure grip

A striking feature of the Opinel Le Petit Chef is the red educational ring.

This ring clearly indicates where the fingers should be placed. This provides the child with both visual and practical support when holding the peeler.

The ring helps:

• Position the fingers correctly
• To learn how to get a good grip
• Gain more control over the peeler
• Prevent the hand from sliding forwards easily
• To practise good posture right from the start

In this way, the Le Petit Chef range is not just about helping out, but also about learning how to use kitchen utensils.

Ideal for learning to peel fruit and vegetables

The peeler can be used under supervision to let children carry out simple preparatory tasks in the kitchen. Depending on their age and experience, they can, for example, practise peeling suitable fruit and vegetables. This allows children to carry out more and more steps of a recipe themselves and gets them involved in preparing a meal in a fun way.

Pair it with the Opinel Le Petit Chef chef’s knife

The children’s peeler features the same recognisable design as the Opinel Le Petit Chef Children’s Chef’s Knife. This means you can combine both products beautifully. With the chef’s knife, children learn the basics of cutting under supervision, whilst with this peeler they can practise peeling and preparing ingredients. In this way, you can gradually build up a practical set of kitchen equipment for your little chef.

Classic Opinel lacquered wooden handle

The peeler features a handle with Opinel’s typical, classic look. The lacquered wooden handle is combined with the striking red educational ring. This gives the peeler a warm, traditional look whilst ensuring the educational aspect is clearly recognisable.

Cooking together becomes even more fun

Letting children help out whilst cooking doesn’t have to be limited to stirring or putting ingredients into a bowl. With suitable kitchen equipment, they can also learn to carry out other simple tasks, depending on their age and skills. The Opinel Le Petit Chef range has been specifically designed to support them in this. Children are given their own kitchen utensils and, at the same time, learn that holding them correctly and working carefully are important.

Not a toy: always use under supervision

The Opinel Le Petit Chef peeler is specially designed for children, but remains a functional piece of kitchenware with a sharp edge. The safety ring and finger guard encourage correct usage, but do not eliminate all risks.

Children should therefore always use the peeler:

• Under adult supervision
• On a stable work surface
• With suitable fruit or vegetables
• Paying attention to the position of both hands
• In a way that is appropriate for their age and experience

Not suitable for the dishwasher

• The Opinel Le Petit Chef Children’s Peeler must not be put in the dishwasher.
• You should therefore wash the peeler by hand and then leave it to dry thoroughly. This ensures you look after both the functional part and the lacquered wooden handle properly.

A lovely gift for little kitchen helpers

For children who love to help out in the kitchen, the Opinel Le Petit Chef peeler is also a lovely and practical gift. Especially when paired with the matching Le Petit Chef chef’s knife, a child will have their own set of kitchen tools with which they can practise various basic skills under supervision.
