A device adapted for handling slippery objects, such as peeled vegetables, is disclosed. The device can include a first finger cover; a second finger cover, in which each of the first and second finger covers includes an outer surface defining an inner volume having an open end; a strap coupling a first side of the first finger cover to a first side of the second finger cover; and a gripping surface formed on at least a portion of at least one of the first finger cover or the second finger cover.

A kitchen tool having a straight blade peeler, a gouge and a base having at least one blade for trimming a root or crown from a vegetable. The at least one blade can be within a cavity in the base or in a cavity at an end of a handle. In a further example embodiment, the at least one blade is a pair of blades configured as a scissors or as a chopper.

A fruit decapping apparatus and method, particularly suited for strawberries. The fruits items (100) are placed by a robotic arm (200) in a lateral aperture (310) of a plate (300), leaving the calyx (120) and the main body (130) below the plate (300). When the robotic arm (200) pulls from the peduncle (110), the plate (300) also pulls from an elastic connection (500). This movement is detected by a sensor (600) which activates a pair of blades (800) solidarily disposed under the lateral aperture (310) of the plate (300).
