PEELING WITH THE PEELER
Take the hard work out of peeling potatoes and
other produce. The Breville peeler will peel
potatoes in batches of 6–8, depending on the
size. Peeling is very fast, and may finish quicker
than expected. Keep your eye on progress, and
it should be done in 20-40 seconds.
Size matters
The best size potatoes to use are around
2.75" x 2.75" (70mm x 70mm), which is about
the size of this illustration. Choose potatoes
that are round, rather than elongated.
Use whole potatoes, as cutting potatoes into
half or quarters creates square edges that won't
peel efficiently. Using rounder potatoes will
reduce the amount of waste.
Loading the potatoes
Position 6–8 potatoes evenly on top of the
peeler. Potatoes should have enough room
to freely roll and rumble. If potatoes are too
tightly packed, the peeling won't be as effective.
Keep in mind that the peeling works best with
a complete batch, and peeling just a couple
of potatoes won't be as efficient. Lock lid in
place before starting, and never insert potatoes
through the chute.
How long to peel
Peeling is very quick, with most potatoes
taking 20–40 seconds. Less time in the peeler
means less waste, but you may have to remove
the eyes by hand with a paring knife. More
time in the peeler will take a thicker layer off,
including most of the eyes.
TIP
Set the Timer to 30 seconds and review the
results when the product stops. Add extra
time if required for optimum results.
The best size potato
for the peeling disc is
around 2.75" x 2.75".
Choose potatoes that are
round, rather than elongated.
Peeling other produce
The Peeler Disc can peel potatoes very well
but it can also be used to peel other firm,
round produces. You get great results with
little waste when peeling beets.
It can also peel carrots and sweet potatoes.
Depending on the size, we recommend
cutting carrots and sweet potatoes in 2-3
pieces before placing them into the bowl.
