CarolHemm Good Grips Y Peeler Very sharp, easy to hold, best peeler I've ever used, only reason I've given it four stars is because like most of these types of peelers the peel gets clogged in the blade. We love that it’s easy to clean and dishwasher safe, with a hanging hole in the handle for straightforward storage on a hook. While it's not the cheapest peeler on the market, most reviewers felt that it was worth paying a few pounds extra for the quality of the OXO Good Grips range. For peace of mind, it also comes with an OXO Better Guarantee so you can have it repaired or replaced by the brand without question. Pros

Potato peelers typically have either a stainless steel or carbon steel blade, and each has its advantages and disadvantages. Stainless steel blades are rust-resistant and less prone to breakage, but they can dull faster than carbon steel. The latter is a pro favorite due to how sharp it is, but it's also easy to break when dropped and can rust if not dried properly after washing. When it comes to peeler handles, they come either flat or rounded and are made of either plastic or metal—though many do come with a rubber cushion. If you’re wanting an automatic peeler, but you don’t own a stand mixer, you can opt for this freestanding electric peeler. It claims to work on most produce, such as potatoes, apples, citrus, and stone fruits. Although the position of the peeler can be adjusted to accommodate fruit and veggies of all sizes, it struggles with thinner items like parsnips and carrots and heavier items like butternut squash. Mrs Smith 2910 Speedy peeler Both the hubby and I prefer using this peeler to our old knife style peeler, it is a doddle and you can really speed peel. It is sturdy and feels like it will last long time.The grip has finger-hold ridges, but they may not be perfectly fit for every user. The blade swivels, so it’s at the right angle for cutting, and when all the work is done, cleanup is easy since it’s dishwasher safe. It's also available in a wide variety of colors if you want to add a bit of personality to your toolkit. This peeler is especially easy to use thanks to an ultra-sharp blade that takes off produce skin in one smooth, thin strip with very little effort or fatigue on the hands. Whether we were peeling jumbo sweet potatoes or small plum tomatoes, this peeler performed consistently. It even took the skin right off a very ripe Roma tomato. The ergonomic design and vertical blade position made it easy to glide the peeler over both wide and narrow produce and curved items, including pears.

Of course, you can get your hands on one those iconic coffee machines that started the Good Grips revolution. OXO Good Grips containers Peelers might be one of the most common kitchen gadgets, right alongside wooden spoons. Unlike spoons, though, there are a lot of differences between models. From the general shape of the peeler and the blade material to the handle material and the color, there are a lot of options from which to choose. There are two basic shapes for handheld potato peelers: straight or Y-shaped. Which shape you choose is all about personal preference. Using a ceramic peeler can delay browning for a short while. However, if there is a large pile of potatoes that will take time to peel, or if you want to peel an hour or two ahead, the potatoes should be submerged in cold water to keep them from browning before you’re ready to use them. This roundup was updated by Sharon Lehman, RDN, a passionate home cook who is also a registered dietitian. Since testing five of the peelers on this list, she keeps reaching for the Kuhn Rikon, which she found the most versatile of the bunch. OXO products don’t just offer a helping hand in the kitchen.

Shape: Do you want to use a traditional straight peeler or a Y-shaped peeler? Some like a Y-shape for easier peeling, whereas others opt for a straight blade for precision. It’s really down to personal preference. Traditional peelers feature a double vertical blade positioned parallel to the handle and is better at getting around curves and edges, says Nicole Papantoniou, Kitchen Appliances & Innovation Lab Director. nikoru BRILLIANT PEELER Probably the best peeler I've ever had, easy to hold and you can go very fast, you just have to be careful as it is so sharp, it goes for may nails. It came with a plastic guard but it didn't hold in place, it's transparent and got lost in the drawer! With a few exceptions, peelers are among the least expensive kitchen gadgets, so it’s not unusual to see several different peelers in the gadget drawer—each with its own purpose—because peeling carrots is much different than peeling tomatoes. Since they’re inexpensive, it’s also nice to have a spare, so you’re not waiting for the dishwasher to finish before you can peel the Yukons.

The brand takes a closer look at everyday objects and activities, then decides how to make them simpler, faster and easier through intelligent design and subtle tweaks. OXO utensils are friendly, functional, high-quality and can make your everyday life that little bit easier. The upgraded version of a classic OXO peeler, this one has a slightly better grip, a sharper blade, and is built to be even sturdier than the original. The swiveling blade moves at exactly the right angle to peel vegetables with ease, and after peeling a virtual produce bin’s worth of vegetables, we couldn’t find anything this peeler couldn’t handle. We tested it with potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, apples, and tomatoes, as well as some limes. No matter what, it cut easily and felt smooth. Aside from the blade’s material, it is also worth considering how it is designed. Some blades are serrated, and others have a fine edge. Consider which makes more sense for the types of food that you’ll be peeling.OXO make superb kitchen utensils, but they’ve applied their expertise to a wider range of household products too. Particularly their selection of OXO food storage containers.
