Vegetable knife Stalgast 285092

A vegetable cleaning knife pares, trims and shapes fresh produce before cooking. The short, sharp blade slides under skins and around cores, removing only what is not needed while keeping the usable portion intact. This method leaves vegetables ready for slicing, dicing or presentation without waste or rework.

The operator holds the knife in one hand and the vegetable in the other, using small, controlled strokes to follow the contours of the produce. A steady grip on the handle and a light pressure on the blade allow precise cuts without crushing or tearing. The work is done on a stable cutting board or over a bowl to catch trimmings.

The blade is made of a special alloy metal that holds an edge through repeated use and resists corrosion from acids and moisture in fresh vegetables. The handle is coloured to comply with HACCP standards, helping staff quickly identify the knife's purpose and reducing cross-contamination risks in a busy kitchen.

The knife is 10 cm long, a size that balances control for fine work with enough reach to handle larger vegetables. The compact length also allows it to be stored in a drawer or on a magnetic strip without taking up excessive space.

The knife is dishwasher-safe, which simplifies cleaning in a professional setting where time and hygiene are critical. Regular washing removes vegetable residues and prevents the build-up of bacteria, while the alloy metal resists the high temperatures and detergents used in commercial dishwashers.

This knife is placed in the catalogue under professional kitchen knives and vegetable preparation tools.
