Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Peel-Star Alu requires no assembly; it is ready to use immediately out of the packaging. It is compatible with all standard firm vegetables. For care, simply rinse under warm water to remove debris or place it in the dishwasher. Due to the high-quality stainless steel blades, avoid using abrasive scrubbing pads that could dull the edge over time. Store in a dry utensil drawer to ensure the blades remain sharp and free from long-term moisture exposure.
