Kuhn Rikon 22780 Piranha Y Peeler, Red

Product Information

Highest quality: our universal peeler is made of durable and food-safe stainless steel and is dishwasher safe. 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. Great for slicing carrots, onions, potatoes and much more - ideal for creating salads, soups, stews, casseroles and more. Razor-sharp serrated stainless steel blade grips securely/won’t slip and produces paper-thin strips To create long, ribbon-like shapes with a vegetable peeler, you’ll want to peel the vegetable lengthwise for long, strand-like cuts. You can do this with zucchini, asparagus, and carrots. If you find yourself making zoodles more often, it may make sense to add a dedicated spiralizer to your collection of kitchen tools.

If you’re in the market for several peelers to outfit your kitchen, this Oxo set is the way to go. Not only do you have the option to go for a colorful set—one swivel peeler with a green handle, one julienne peeler with an orange handle, and one serrated peeler with a red handle—but these peelers also offer versatility and durability. Replacement blades are included in the storage area at the base of the device. The peeler includes a 6-volt adapter, though it can also operate with batteries. This may be a worthwhile investment if you find yourself peeling a lot of potatoes at once. The julienne peeler cuts your fruit and vegetables in to julienne strips allowing you to create varied and interesting salads and meals.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.

n instant, then you need a peeler with sharp teeth. “The Piranha Peeler,” is a must for every kitchen. This peeler has a swiveling pair of serrated micro blades which cut on the push and pull strokes. The micro-blade technology saves time when peeling cucumbers, onions, potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, parsnips, swedes, turnips, butternut squash, pineapples and so much more. It can also slice vegetables into ribbons and even shred cabbage or lettuce. Probably the best peeler you will ever own, it even comes with a 5-year guarantee on the blade. There are three common types of blade materials: stainless steel, ceramic, and carbon steel. Stainless steel blades are by far the most popular because it is the one material that you can sharpen like you would with knives. Ceramic blades are similar in sharpness to stainless steel, but when it comes to toughness and durability, they can be more prone to breaking or dulling. Lastly, carbon steel blades are susceptible to rust if not taken care of properly. This means you will have to wipe down after each use, so the blade isn’t wet.

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.
