How to use kiwi fruit artifact

Kiwi artifact usually refers to a kitchen tool used for quickly peeling or slicing kiwi fruit skins. Proper use can improve processing efficiency and preserve the integrity of the fruit pulp. There are mainly five common tools: peeling type, slicing type, digging spoon type, embossing type, and multifunctional type.

1. Peel type

Cut both ends of the kiwi fruit flat and insert it vertically into the top of the tool. Rotate the handle to move the blade down along the skin, completely peeling off the skin. Pay attention to selecting a slot that matches the size of the fruit. If it is too large, it will leave residue on the skin, while if it is too small, it may damage the flesh. Stainless steel components should be cleaned promptly after use to prevent oxidation.

2. Slicing type

By using the built-in V-shaped blade array, the kiwi fruit after removing the stem is horizontally pushed into the tool cavity, and a uniform fruit slice can be obtained with one press. Harder kiwifruit requires a little force, and overripe fruit may have incomplete slices. Suggest operating on the cutting board to prevent slipping.

3. Scoop type

Half spherical spoon edge design can directly scoop kiwi fruit pulp into a ball shape, suitable for making fruit salads or dessert decorations. Rotate along the lower edge of the fruit skin to extract and maximize the utilization of the flesh, with a remaining skin thickness of approximately 2 millimeters being optimal. It is easier to shape kiwifruit by refrigerating it for half an hour before use.

4. Embossed

Mold type tools can press the fruit pulp into star shaped, heart-shaped and other shapes. First, peel and cut the kiwi fruit into pieces, and then place them in the mold for pressing. Choosing fruits with moderate maturity yields the best results, as excessive maturity can lead to blurred patterns. After embossing, it is recommended to soak in lemon juice to prevent oxidation.

Fifth, multifunctional

combination tools often include functional modules such as peeling, slicing, and core removal, which can be operated differently by replacing accessories. Before use, it is necessary to confirm that all components are securely fastened, and pay attention to the orientation of the cutting tool when switching functions. When storing, it should be kept dry to avoid rusting of metal parts.

It is recommended to dry the kiwi fruit artifact with a soft cloth after daily use, and regularly soak it in white vinegar to remove calcium deposits. For wooden handle tools, prolonged immersion should be avoided, and plastic parts should be kept away from high-temperature disinfection cabinets. Adjust the operation intensity according to the maturity of kiwifruit. Hard fruits can be left at room temperature for two days before processing. The use of silicone anti slip pads can enhance operational safety. If the processed fruit pulp is not consumed temporarily, a small amount of honey can be sprinkled to prevent discoloration. Pay attention to checking the passivation of the tool blade and replace worn parts in a timely manner to ensure effective use.
