Product W x L ( 2.6 x 7.1)  inches Weight: O.17 Pound Stainless steel is a great material for many household products, primarily cookware. This material is incredibly durable, which means you won't have to replace your fruit peeler for many years to come. Compared to other metals and materials such as plastic and rubber, stainless steel holds up very well to corrosion, rust and other damaging properties. Peeling your fruit and vegetables is very important, especially when buying non-organic food. Be sure to wash all your fruits and vegetables first and then peel them. Peeling the food helps to get rid of any lingering pesticides on your produce. The stainless steel is a nonporous material so you can be certain no pesticides or other unwanted chemicals will remain on your fruit peeler after you wash it.
