Avoid: Soft, watery, or irregularly shaped produce (like tomatoes, mushrooms, or bell peppers)—they’ll mush or jam.
How to Clean & Maintain It
Never put fingers near blades—use a brush or toothpick to clear debris.
Rinse immediately after use—starchy veggies (like potatoes) can gum up blades.
Dry thoroughly to prevent rust (especially on vintage metal models).
Store safely—some come with blade guards; otherwise, tuck into a drawer away from loose utensils.
