Question

Do a peeler and an opener require immersion with a blessing?

Answer

A peeler does not require koshering and requires immersion without a blessing (for Ashkenazim, for Sephardim no immersion is required at all) if it is used only for potatoes and food that is not ready to eat. If it is used to peel fruits and vegetables that are eaten raw, such as apples and cucumbers, immersion is required even for Sephardim. An opener does not require immersion or koshering.
