Lockdown spelt disaster for many businesses, but one area appears to have flourished – kitchen gadgets, with sales of the humble vegetable peeler almost doubling.
Figures from homeware specialist Lakeland show that the veg scraper is now the fourth most popular culinary tool – as recently as 2018, peelers ranked a lowly 17th in the league table of utensils.
Sales of the firm's £5.99 julienne peeler are now up 83 per cent. Its Pro Chop and Dice Vegetable Chopper profits – which retails for £29.99 – have increased by 90 per cent.
