A vegetable peeler is one of those tiny and affordable tools we all have in our kitchen drawer. Most people only use it to peel their carrots, potatoes, and other veggies, but that’s actually a huge waste of this versatile tool that comes with many alternative uses that you never thought of.

Thin Cheese

Pasta and sandwiches sometimes call for extra-thin cheese slices, but it can be difficult to simply cut them with your knife. If you’re looking for an alternative method, your vegetable peeler will get the job done.

Chocolate Curls

Chocolate curls are often used to decorate brownies, cakes, cupcakes, and all sorts of different desserts. If you’re not sure how to make them, simply run your vegetable peeler down the surface of the chocolate and you’ll be done in a matter of seconds.

Melting Butter

Waiting for butter to melt can be a tedious task, but there are ways to avoid it. Using the vegetable peeler to shave off a couple of slices is one of the best methods because it allows the butter to melt much faster.

Shredding Cabbage

Most people use the grater to shred cabbage, but this isn’t the only option. If you need a smaller quantity and are aiming for thinner cabbage pieces, the vegetable peeler is just the thing you need.
