Kuhn Rikon 22780 Piranha Y Peeler, Red

Product Information

Some peelers have multiple blade options in one if you want the option to switch between serrated and straight. Additionally, a swivel blade allows you to peel in both directions and with much more freedom, whereas using a stiffer, stationary blade means you'll have to be on top of holding it at the proper angle for it to grab the peel. 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. 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 into julienned strips allowing you to create varied and interesting salads and meals. The super sharp teeth and microblade technology mean that you get a perfect result every time. Designed to stay super sharp, the blade has a 5-year guarantee. Kyocera has made a name for itself with super-sharp ceramic knives, so it should come as no surprise that this ceramic peeler performs just as well. The Y-shaped tool won't rust or corrode, and the ceramic material minimizes food browning, which comes in handy when peeling large amounts of apples or potatoes. Like Kyocera’s ceramic knives, the blade on this peeler is made from the company’s proprietary zirconia material and will stay sharp much longer than similar metal knives.

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. This classic, Swiss-design peeler offers a serrated swivel peeler that is adept at catching onto tough-to-penetrate skins (fuzzy, hard, or smooth), like tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and peaches. The serrated blade is also great for trimming tougher foods, like fresh asparagus and squash.Because it's serrated, it leaves behind very fine ridges on the item that you’re peeling, which provides extra grip on your food to prevent slipping. The imprint is so small, though, that you may not even notice. Features: peeler made of stainless steel, weight 90 g, size 18 x 7 x 1.6 cm, serrated stainless steel blade on both sides, hanging loop. We found that it worked wonders on bushels of apples and large quantities of potatoes, but longer foods, like larger zucchini, had to be trimmed or cut in half to fit the machine (which was simple). Though it’s considerably more expensive than a manual peeler, this would be a major help if you find yourself peeling produce in large quantities (or you’re just trying to give your hands a break). The attachments are even dishwasher safe, which makes clean up super straightforward.

Highest quality: our universal peeler is made of durable and food-safe stainless steel and is dishwasher safe. If a vegetable peeler is a tool that you use infrequently, this might be more than you need, but if you want a variety of blades, this is a must-have set. Each peeler has its own clear safety cover to make sure blades aren’t exposed in storage. Many home cooks would agree that peeling vegetables is not the most exciting kitchen task, though it certainly is an important one. Peeling fruits and vegetables does not require a ton of skill or practice, but it does require a durable, sharp tool that can work properly on a variety of produce and last you a long time. We loved how comfortable the handle was to hold during our tests, even after a long session with potatoes. Also, the blade cut flawlessly in both directions, making it ideal for any cutting method and for both left- and right-handed users. The metal eye at the top lets you remove eyes from potatoes without reaching for a knife, and the hole in the handle can be used for hanging it on a hook. When it comes time for cleaning, it can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher. In fact, one of our experts has been using this peeler for more than three years now and always throws it in the dishwasher. It's still an absolute workhorse.

Reviewers are immensely pleased with this product, noting that they were able to peel more difficult produce items, such as butternut squash. We found the same to be true during our tests, noting this peeler shines when working with firm produce, like carrots, apples, and cucumbers. However, we found it unable to peel softer-skinned fruit, like tomatoes; For that job, you’ll do better with one of the serrated blade peelers on this list. 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. The potato eye removers are located on the sides of the peeler and are hollow circles, so they can also be used for getting a strand of zest from citrus, too. When all is said and done, you can wash this in the dishwasher.
