Learn what you can cut with the Tefal Comfort Paring Knife 9cm (K22135) — from fruits and vegetables to small prep tasks. Includes care and safety tips.
Quick answer
The Tefal Comfort Paring Knife 9cm with cover (K22135) is designed for precise cutting of small fruits, vegetables, and other delicate kitchen tasks. Its ergonomic handle and safe cover make it a practical choice for everyday prep.
What makes it suitable for small tasks?
The 9cm blade is shorter than a chef's knife, giving you better control when peeling, trimming, or slicing small items. This length is ideal for tasks where precision matters more than raw cutting power.
The Comfort Zone handle with soft-touch material reduces hand fatigue during repetitive cuts. This is especially helpful if you're preparing several servings of fruits or vegetables at once.
When not to use this knife
This paring knife is not intended for heavy-duty jobs like cutting through bones, frozen foods, or hard squashes. For those tasks, a larger chef's knife or a serrated blade would be safer and more effective.
The blade is also not designed for slicing large items like watermelons or pineapples — the short edge makes those cuts awkward and less efficient.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I cut apples and pears with this knife?
- Yes. The 9cm blade is perfect for coring, peeling, and slicing apples or pears. The ergonomic handle gives you good control for curved cuts.
- Is it safe for cutting citrus fruits?
- Absolutely. Use it to remove citrus peels, segment oranges, or slice lemons. The soft-touch handle stays comfortable even when your hands are slightly wet from washing fruit.
- Can I cut vegetables like carrots or cucumbers?
- Yes, for small to medium carrots and cucumbers. For larger or thicker vegetables, consider a longer knife. The paring knife works best for trimming ends, peeling, or making thin slices.
- How do I clean and store the knife?
- Hand wash with mild soap and warm water, then dry immediately. Store with the included blade cover to protect the edge and prevent accidents. Do not put it in the dishwasher. Always use the cover for safe storage — it keeps the blade sharp and your hands safe.
- Can I use it for cutting cheese or soft foods?
- Yes, for soft cheeses like mozzarella or brie. For harder cheeses, a dedicated cheese knife works better. The paring knife is also fine for butter, boiled eggs, or avocado.
