Question
Does a vegetable peeler require immersion?
Answer
If the peeler is intended only for potatoes and other vegetables that require cooking, according to the Shulchan Aruch, it does not require immersion, while according to the Rema, it requires immersion without a blessing. If most of its use is for items eaten raw, such as cucumbers, it requires immersion. However, if most of its use is for items not eaten raw but is occasionally used for items eaten raw, the peeler requires immersion without a blessing.
