Norpro Shrimp/ Prawn Peeler / Deveiner, Red

Product Information

Whether or not to remove the vein often comes down to your personal preference and how much time you have on your hands. If the shrimp had a last meal, the vein would be a dark colour, easy to spot, and filled with sand and grit. If, however, the poor thing dies hungry, the digestive tract will be clear and difficult to see. The ChirRay shrimp peeler and shrimp deveiner is a simple tool that is incredibly easy to use and offers tons of durability that will last you a long time. It’s made from food-grade, 304 stainless steel and its surfaces are polished to the point of being scratch resistant. These features make this the most durable shrimp peeler for your money. Rising demand…ever-increasing labor costs…a shrinking labor pool…narrower processing windows…more stringent food safety and traceability. These compounding forces are driving an accelerating and irreversible shift to automation. Automate now with Laitram to make this inevitable transition proactively with confidence. The first thing we researched after purchasing and receiving our shrimp peelers was how well they were able to peel and devein shrimp without trouble. We favored options that were incredibly easy to use, with little to no learning curve. However, if there was a learning curve involved, we preferred options that brought something new to the table.

A. Short answer. No. Once a shrimp tail is cooked, the vein loses elasticity and becomes brittle, so there’s no way to pull it out. If you’re going to devein, do it while your shrimps are raw. Very safe. The ‘blade’ is made of plastic, so there are no sharp metal parts to stab or cut the unwary user. We are always transparent about where our information comes from so that you don’t have to waste time and money buying the wrong thing.The Norpro shrimp peeler is one of the more unique options you can buy because it doesn’t look like a standard shrimp peeler and deveiner. Instead of a single blade approach, this tool looks like a pair of scissors, except with curved blades. Don’t be put off by this different design, though. The blades are curved to fit the natural shape of the shrimp shell and the blades are sharp enough to cut through any shrimp’s shell.

Every so often, you’ll miss and have to pull the vein out old school with a knife or rinse it out with some running water. What Is The Best Shrimp Deveiner? Flimsy construction. The Shrimp Butler is made almost entirely out of plastic and feels like a toy rather than a serious cooking device. That lightweight construction also means it’s prone to move around a lot with use. Peel all these styles: tail-on round, butterfly split, completely peeled (tail off), and E-Z peel style as pictured below.The best shrimp deveiner can peel, remove the vein, and butterfly the shrimp for a beautiful presentation all in one easy motion (more on this in a minute) To use the Norpro, simply insert the blades into the shell and start cutting away. The shrimp scissors struggle a little with deveining, but they still get the job done. The scissor design also allows for use with crab legs and lobster tails, but the Norpro still performs best with the softer shells of shrimp. We were also pleased with how comfortable the handles are. They allow plenty of room for fingers and the blades are also made from durable stainless steel. In all cases, a well a trained staff with some experience is assumed and shrimp is readily available or is being supplied to the peelers.

1pc Kitchen Prawn Peeler Shrimp Deveiner Remover Portable

Very bulky. The device is much larger than other deveining tools like scissors or lances. It’s nearly as large as a coffeemaker and takes up a ton of counter space, which isn’t great for a super specialized, single-function device. Even worse is the sandy or gritty texture you can find in your mouth having eaten a shrimp that hasn’t been deveined. And no sauce or dressing can cover this up. But, Is It Really Necessary? If your staff spends more than 12 hours a week peeling shrimp by hand, this is the machine for you.

Some inspection of machine peeled shrimp is usually desirable and inspection of the output of the compact machine is not considered a full time job. To use it, you insert the spike into the shrimp and pull, taking the shell and vein out in one smooth motion. A. The knife-type shrimp deveiner isn’t designed to do this. You’d have far more success with shrimp scissors, although you might initially find it a little fiddly. OXO is a well-known and widely respected kitchen tool manufacturer, and it doesn’t disappoint with the Good Grips shrimp peeler. It features a single blade design that can perform three functions in one: peeling, deveining, and butterflying. The blade is attached to the handle where the product’s name comes from. It’s made from a soft rubber that provides a high level of grip, even when the peeler is wet. The handle is also ergonomically designed to fit better in your palm. And all though shrimp are bottom feeders, all they tend to eat are plankton and other little sea creatures. So odds are you’d find far worse things in a sausage.
