1. The optimal peeler for peeling asparagus
Use a high-quality pendulum peeler for peeling. The sharper the blade, the easier it is to remove the asparagus peelings.
Grasp the asparagus spear with your fingers at the tip. Place the asparagus spear over the hand on the wrist. Turn the asparagus spear and remove the peel evenly with the pendulum peeler. This way you can peel the asparagus safely and the asparagus spear will NOT break!
Peeling asparagus made easy: Use a sharp pendulum peeler.
