Opinel Le Petit Chef Knife and Peeler Set
The Opinel Le Petit Chef Knife and Peeler Set consists of two kitchen implements with adaptations to their design to make them safe for supervised young children to use to do real jobs in the kitchen as they learn about cooking.
The Opinel Le Petit Chef Knife with Finger Guard is an excellent way to be able to let a young child get involved with cooking in a safe way.
The rounded tip helps to minimise the risk of a cut caused by a sharp-ended blade. The finger guard is used on the non-knife holding hand so that its fingers are protected (but in the correct claw grip position adults should use) when they are near the blade holding the food steady for cutting.
The finger ring keeps the forefinger of the knife-holding hand steady but in a sensible position away from the edge of the blade.
So the Opinel Le Petit Chef Knife with Finger Guard helps to keep a young cook safe while still allowing him or her to do real kitchen tasks.
The Opinel Le Petit Chef Peeler is a very useful way to teach and to encourage youngsters to cook but with safety uppermost.
When the peeler is in use, the forefinger of the hand holding it goes into the ring to allow some pressure to be applied but in a way that keeps the finger well clear of the peeler blade.
Supervision is recommended as often the food being peeled will be held in position by the other hand and care is needed to keep the fingers of that hand out of the way.
The finger guard designed for use with the knife in this set can also be used with the peeler.
These two items are also available separately.
