hámozó

A hámozó is a kitchen utensil designed for peeling fruits and vegetables. It typically consists of a handle and a sharp blade. The blade is positioned at an angle to the handle, allowing the user to easily remove the outer skin of produce. Hámozók come in various designs, with the most common being the swivel peeler, which features a blade that pivots to follow the contours of the food. Other types include Y-peelers, characterized by their Y-shaped handle, and serrated peelers, which have a blade with small teeth for peeling waxy or slippery items. The material of the blade can vary, with stainless steel being a popular choice due to its durability and sharpness. Hámozók are essential tools in many kitchens, simplifying food preparation tasks such as making salads, preparing garnishes, or processing ingredients for cooking. Regular cleaning and proper storage ensure the longevity and effectiveness of a hámozó.
