(Food-Beverage-News.Com, July 18, 2013 ) Lake Forest, CA -- A new all ceramic potato peeler is generating excitement about the traditionally unpopular chore of peeling potatoes, according to Bill Quinn of BonElite Products and Gifts. "From army vets with bad memories of doing KP in front of a vat of potatoes," Quinn said, "to ordinary housewives preparing a family dinner, peeling potatoes has always been one of the least favorite chores in the kitchen. But suddenly, with the introduction of our BonElite all-ceramic peeler, we're starting to hear a different kind of reaction. People who have used the BonElite are now telling us it's the best thing to have happened to the job of peeling vegetables in years."
Constructed of 100% zirconia (also called ceramics), the BonElite peeler features a ceramic blade that researchers say keeps its sharpness up to ten times longer than steel blades. Ceramic is manufactured by dry pressing zirconia powder and firing it through solid-state sintering. The blade is then sharpened by grinding the edges with a diamond-dust-coated grinding wheel. Zirconia ranks 8.5 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, compared to 7.5 to 8 for hardened steel and 10 for diamond. The result is a very hard edge that rarely needs sharpening.
Consumers report also that the BonElite's smooth molded construction fits their hands more comfortably, making the job much less tedious than when they used ordinary steel or rubber handle peelers. The BonElite is designed for peeling not just potatoes, but also for peeling most other vegetables and fruits, as well.
Other advantages of the BonElite, buyers point out, include the facts that it is completely dishwasher safe and never rusts. The product is available through amazon, which also stores many of the buyer reviews of the product.
