Simple 5:2 Recipes; The Dieter's Best Friend. The Julienne Peeler.





If you're like most people these days you can't seem to find the time to make a meal, not to mention a healthy one. The thought of getting home after a hard days work and toiling in the kitchen over a hot stove is enough to make most people simply want to grab a couple pieces of bread and throw a sandwich together. Needless to say this is neither appealing or healthy.
Enter a simple invention called the julienne peeler. Julienne peelers do just what the name implies, they julienne vegetables. There are various other ways to julienne a vegetable but the majority require dragging out a huge, bulky machine with mutiple parts and blades that increase the prep time and aggravation of cooking. With a julienne peeler you can cut the prep time in half and leave more time to relax and enjoy your dinner.
Julienne peelers are simple to use. Most are made with a stainless steel head and handle. They usually have two blades, one for peeling and one for the julienne process which is fundamentally pulling the julienne peeler across the vegetable creating several long thin strands. These strands are similar in texture and thickness to common spaghetti noodles. The difference, needless to say, is that the result is a low carb substitute for pasta. Sauteed in a small amount of garlic and butter and you have a delicious meal ready in minutes. Zuchinni, peppers, carrots, potatoes, squash can all be julienned and prepared in a number of ways to make a variety of healthy appetizing entrees
So what makes the E4 TPR Series Julienne Peeler different from the hundreds available on the market today? Well the julienne process requires pulling the julienne peeler towards you while pressing down allowing the blades to cut into the vegetable resulting in the thin strands. While it doesn't involve a huge amount of force there is some pressure needed. The grip of this or any kitchen tool is essential particularly when you consider the fact that most of the time kitchen jobs involve water and water makes most kitchen utensils slippery. E4 Kitchen has developed a peeler with a unique soft rubber grip which allows the user to get a firm hold. The ergonomically designed handle feels good and makes for a safe and pleasant experience.
Making a quick, healthy meal doesn't need to be a chore any longer. With all the different kitchen tools available today, cooking can almost be fun. The julienne peeler and in particular the E4 TPR Series Julienne Peeler is one of those tools. From walking in the door to sitting down with a plate full of "Zoodles" (zucchini noodles) can be achieved in literally 15 minutes. Now that's what we call quick and easy!
