There are many ways to prepare vegetables. You can cut them into slices, dice them up, or even just drop them whole on a plate. Have you ever thought of sharpening them though? Like you would a pencil? If you have, then the Karoto Sharpener is the kitchen gadget for you.

This gadget does one thing, sharpen veggies. Use it to take your carrot from boring to finely pointed, ready for presentation or test taking. You know, whatever one does with a completely sharpened carrot. It’s not just for carrots though. You can use it on cucumbers or zucchini as well. Have a back to school themed snack time.

Joking aside, it’s not really the sharpened food that’s the attraction, it’s the peelings. The peeled leavings can be used to decorate dishes or as really thin slices to include in preparing certain recipes. It’s funny because this gadget does just look like giant pencil sharpener but it has an actual useful purpose. You can also just use it to sharpen those giant novelty pencils.
