Steel Y Peeler

Just before Christmas (2019), I went to my cutlery drawer to get my trusty peeler to peel the spuds for dinner and couldn't find it. Gutted. How can something like that have disappeared? After interrogating the kids to find out if they've used it for a random weird project and still drew a blank, I've had to order a new one of these. I'd had one of these peelers for many years now. I find it easy and comfortable to hold, it's sharp so neatly peels the skin of assorted root veg very easily with minimal effort. I've got various other styles from I can't even recall where from but this is my go to. I can peel a stack of spuds for Sunday lunch for 8 people in no time at all. It claims to peel "even the toughest fruit & vegetable skins". Some of the fruit I've peeled include oranges, lemons and butternut squash (yes! butternut squash is a fruit!!) and that was easy to do. I've also peeled all the normal sort of veg you'd expect, spuds, carrots, swede, parsnips, etc. All were pretty easy to peel. The handle shape is slightly elliptical so it doesn't spin around in your hand. It's also made of a type of very grippy rubber that has a series of slits along the length of it. This gives you a very sure hold on it whilst peeling and makes it easy to manipulate it to peel even those gnarly shaped ugly vegetables that suddenly went trendy after Jamie & Jimmy made us sad about only buying straight and regular shaped veg. The product blurb says "won’t slip, even when wet". I can verify that this is true. It's still super-grippy even when it's wet, my hand is wet or they're slick with potato... water/starch/juice/slightly white wet stuff you get off peeled potatoes. It's symmetrical in shape with blades on both sides. I'm right-handed but I dare say that it would work just as well for someone left-handed. I've not had an opportunity to get any of my left-handed friends to peel my veg to verify this though. The end of the peeler as a small, sharpish, plastic scoop type feature, the "eye remover". That sounds a bit grim so I've not done that but it's great at removing the minging black bits on potatoes. I can confirm that years of use and going through the dishwasher hasn't harmed it in the slightest. Before my original one randomly went on walkabout, it's been through the dishwasher countless times and always looked as good as new. Both my original one and this new one came with a small plastic cover to go over the metal blade section of the peeler; the business end. This is fine but frankly irritating when it's just lying about on your work top until you're emptying the dishwasher. I never put it back on my original one and despite being in a drawer with all manner of other utensils, it never got damaged or the blade nicked so I don't think it's necessary for the protection of the peeler. It has the aforementioned big rubbery handle. Just as that's great for holding it securely, it's also great for picking it up so I've also never gut, scraped or nicked my finger with the blade either. I can therefore only conclude that it's to keep it all shiny and nice during transit. I've therefore sent the peeler sheath in the way of the first one, into the bin. As mentioned, I keep it in a drawer rather than use the large in-handle hole to hang it on something. I'm sure you could use it for that but I prefer to hang photos, paintings and maybe a clock on a wall, not vegetable peeling kitchen utensils. I highly recommend this product if you want to peel fruit and veg.

PERFECT; PERFECT; PERFECT - especially for a left hander! This peeler is really quite sharp (comes with blade protector) - great feel in the hand and doesn't 'dig in' to the palm. Great for both right and left handed users. I now have one at my mothers and my home as it's durable, great grip and gentle for peeling enough potatoes / carrots / parsnips for the entire family. Great value for money, flexible swivel of the sharp blades enabling efficient peeling of veggies.

I have been finding it difficult to peel potatoes and other veg with the stainless steel peeler I’d used for years. With issues of arthritis in my hand it was painful. The difference this tool has made is incredible. So easy to use with no pressure on my hands. It simply glides through the peel and removes it cleanly. It is very sharp so it will be important to concentrate when using it to ensure it is only the veg skin that is removed!

The OXO Good Grips Y Peeler is a fantastic tool that makes peeling fruits and vegetables a breeze! The sharp stainless steel blade effortlessly removes skin from potatoes, carrots, apples, and more. I love the ergonomic handle, which is soft, comfortable, and non-slip—even when my hands are wet. It feels sturdy and fits perfectly in my hand, making peeling quick and easy. The Y-shape design provides great control and allows for smooth, consistent peeling with minimal effort. It’s also easy to clean—just rinse or pop it in the dishwasher. Overall, this peeler is durable, comfortable, and effective. Definitely a must-have for anyone who wants to streamline their prep work in the kitchen. Pros: Sharp, efficient peeling Comfortable, non-slip handle Easy to clean Durable stainless steel blade CONS: None yet

The best peelers! Great grip, easy smooth peel action. Sharp blade and stays sharp. Light weight but chuckny enough to feel good in the hand. Washes well.

For years, YEARS I have been going to my brothers and occasionally helping peel the odd vegetable. I always LOVED his potato peeler. I hinted again and again that I REALLY, REALLY wanted the exact same peeler because literally I loved it. Anyway fast forward to this Christmas and I was peeling vegetables at my brothers again and loving his potato peeler as per usual. And I’m like YOU KNOW WHAT I’m finding it. I’m getting it. I need this. So I reverse image search his potato peeler and LO AND BEHOLD there it is. On the Amazon. Now I don’t get my hopes up too much because I’m used to disappointment in my life. BUT it arrives and I say to my family “WE ARE HAVING MASH TONIGHT I HAVE A NEW POTATO PEELER I HAVE TO TRY IT OUT”. So I get it out the packaging and I’m trembling with excitement. I start to peel and IT IS THE SAME. Oh my goodness I was so happy. I called my child in to use it, I asked my partner to use it. “IT’S SO EASY TO USE YOU GUYS I AM THROWING MY OLD POTATO PEELER AWAY”. And I kid you not, every time I peel a vegetable now, in my very own home, I am having a great time. This is the best potato peeler in the world ever. YOU NEED THIS IN YOUR LIVES IT WILL COMPLETE YOU AND ALL YOUR VEGETABLE PEELING NEEDS. FIVE STARS!!

I recently purchased the Oxo Steel Swivel Peeler and I must say, I’m impressed with its quality. The peeler is very well built and made of stainless steel. It comes with a protection guard which is a great feature to have when storing it in a drawer. The peeler is also very sharp and has a built-in eyer which makes it easy to remove blemishes from fruits and vegetables. The nice grip on the handle makes it comfortable to hold and use for extended periods of time. The peeler has a comfortable grip and a swivel head which makes it easy to use on a variety of fruits and vegetables. Overall, I would highly recommend the Oxo Steel Swivel Peeler to anyone looking for a high-quality peeler that is built to last. It’s a great investment for any home cook or professional chef.
