A folding table having a hole in the table top is combined with a fruit and vegetable peeler. The table may include a plastic bag retained within and under the hole for containing peelings therein, or may include a variety of other containers in alternative embodiments. In one such alternative embodiment, the table and peeler are combined with a sink and garbage disposal, whereby the peelings may pass freely through the table and ultimately through the garbage disposal. The table is preferably constructed of materials and components that are easily cleaned, offer stain resistance, and which may be compactly stored.

1. A machine for removing exterior layers from produce that is simultaneously capable of preserving both space and cleanliness within a food preparation area by having a minimum number of parts which require no maintenance other than cleaning after each use, thereby enabling the machine to be compact when stored and of relatively low cost, and which is readily removed from storage, assembled, and then immediately used, and which is sufficiently portable and compact to be used upon a work area within said food preparation area, including within a basin or sink, thereby assisting with containment of any mess and speeding subsequent clean-up thereof, comprising in combination:a peeler having a fastener fastenable to a support and removable therefrom for storage, a produce holder, and a means co-operative with said produce holder for separating said exterior layers from said produce; and a folding support having a generally planar top support, a means for removably supporting said separating means above said generally planar support top surface, a stand, a pivotal attachment between said support top surface and said stand which enables said stand to pivot between a plane generally parallel with said support top surface and a plane generally normal thereto, and a passage through said top surface aligned with said peeler to pass said exterior layers through said top surface when said exterior layers are separated by said separating means.
