I have and use a straight peeler from my grandma. It's got to be well over 40 years old and it still peels incredibly well.

Glad to see OXO peeler made the cut. If they have a legacy product, it is that peeler!

Since the blue peeler was featured frequently throughout the video it was no surprise that it was the favorite.

That's an incredible amount of work for testing these. Thank you all.

I have been using the old-fashioned style potato peelers for over 50 years and they never failed me. The one I have now is at least 5 years old and is still as sharp as the day I bought it.

I recently picked up a couple of Oxy peelers in both styles, and when washing them the first time they shaved my sponge. Impressively sharp.

Nobody talks about the best peeler - the one with the black silicone handle from IKEA. We bought one and loved it so much we went back and bought two more and a bunch for friends and family. It's amazing!!!

Thanks, Lisa. I have both styles. Depending on what I am peeling.

With the plastic carbon steel peelers what I do is use a spray oil and then wipe it off with a paper towel after using. A lot easier than fussing with a thing of vegetable oil.

Thanks for this video, always in search of a decent peeler, especially this time if the year.

I’m a straight peeler gal all the way. One of the things that is the most time consuming is peeling apples for applesauce and I can hold a straight peeler like I would hold a paring knife and peel that peel off in one strip. There’s no way I could ever do that with a Y peeler with anything near the efficiency I can do it with a straight peeler (frankly, I don’t think I could do it at all with a Y peeler, I think I would end up, hacking at them like you do a carrot, and it would take forever).

I think the type of peeler you prefer is the type you learned on. I learned on a straight and don't like the Y. A friend learned in the Army and only uses a paring knife with excellent results.

Oxo are a great brand. They also make them comfortable and efficient for those with conditions like arthritis etc.

I'm old fashioned. I still use a paring knife even tho I have both a straight and Y shaped peelers. I do my peeling over the sink or garbage so there is no mess to clean up nor cutting board to clean off. Talk about saving time. 😉Thx for doing this and sharing. 👍👍👍👍👍

Thank you so much for this peeler review. I already have the Swiss Peeler in the 3 pack. They are very sharp and work well. Since I like both style peelers I think I'll try the OXO also. For me, some vegetables demand either a Y peeler or a straight one. Since I peel so many vegetables every day, I figure why not have the right style for the job at hand?

I bought 4 of the Rikon peelers nearly 10 years ago - still using those today, very often. Only thing I do have is an "old fashioned" potato peeler with the pointed end for getting out the eyes on potatoes.

Team straight peeler 😊

I bought the OXO straight peeler back when it was serrated. They don't sell it anymore and after having cut myself once on it I understand why. But it's still very good and has lasted me many years even with running through the dishwasher.

I called OXO to suggest that they make their peelers with a rounded or bowed blade and they haven't changed it in 2 years since. Most vegetables we peel are round like carrots and potatoes etc.You don't get just a narrow cut if the blade wraps around the vegetable.

Well dang I already have two of the Oxo. They dull after a few years for sure. Still love the girthy grip.

I have both khun-rikon and oxo good grip (both recomended by you) and they excellent peelers. I also have the tomato peeler by khun-rikon and it is really good, I highky recomend them. I also have the khun-rikon pressure cooker for the past 14 years, they are excellent cookware manufacturers I follow you from Spain.

I have a Zyliss straight peeler which is a plastic body but very comfortable. I got it from either TK Maxx in the UK or TJ Maxx in the US. Y peelers are very slow once the blade dulls and I feel like you have to do more actions to get the same results on oddly shaped veg like potatoes. I'd prefer a less sharp straight peeler over a Y shaped peeler for any sack of potatoes!

I have the OXO good grips peeler that Santa, aka my Father, put in my stocking over 30 years ago. I've got rheumatoid arthritis and I'm finding it difficult to grip now, though it's still sharp. I've just ordered a Kuhn Rikon peeler from Amazon and I think my hands will thank me. Also, I'm sure my Dad would approve 😉

I always love your feedback. Thank you

I find the straight peelers are much better for small potatoes

I find Y peelers awkward to use because I typically peel toward myself, like you would using a paring knife. I've been using the same Oxo Good Grips straight peeler for over 20 years and it's still going strong. If it should break, I'll get another one.

After decades of using a straight peeler, about 5 years ago I bought a Y peeler (their top model) as an experiment. TL:DR I'm a convert. It took me about 2 carrots to get used to the different grip. Everything Lisa says is true - it's easier for me to see my work, the blade is super sharp, and peels *never* get stuck. They're also reasonably priced. I bought a set of three for about $10 and I'm still using the first peeler. When the blade dulls or rusts out, I have two backups. If you have the chance to try a Y peeler ... do so.

Have been cooking for the last 40 years, I have use a lot of peelers. Y-shape is the way to go, I am surprised that my favorite peeler is not in this group. Good video, will try the Kuhn Rikon (translates to "hold On" from Hausa, go figure...)

As a "lefty", if you have right-handed people who share in the prep duties; a straight peeler is not for you (or you need to each have your own). As a straight peeler gets used, the leading edge of the blade that is not cutting (but leads on the stroke) will get slightly bent inwards. This makes it unusable for a person of the opposite hand to use because now the cutting blade is bend or dished inwards.

The lurch peeler is the best peeler

Chef'n Palm Peeler with one finger ring is hands down the best ever. Pun intended (hands down). Especially for hands with pain.

The blue one is my favorite also. It-s light my hand doesn t feel tired just I miss a scoop for potato eyes.

Team straight peeler. Rada brand is my favorite.

Target be having a small sale for Oxo products

I have a ceramic blade peeler that's about 20 years old and it's still sharp as a razor. Have some ceramic knives that old too and they haven't needed sharpening yet even though the company (Kyocera) offers that service.

no mention of serrated edge peelers for tomato skins?

Did you look at the OXO Y peeler?

i have a peeler that's a cookie cutter model to the kuhn rikon (blue one) by WMF. I used to have a few but because it was so sharp and goody it got stolen by sneaky colleagues a few times. I had one left, and its the only peeler i still use, and i have had it for twenty years now or close to it. i got it in the mid early 2000s. (and it was also cheap as hell as it only cost less than 5 dollars.) mine's still sharp as hell, (keep it dry asap after using and the little oil rubbing as mentioned works) so sharp if you aren't paying attention when peeling, it can peel your finger and nail. i used to peel batshit loads of potato daily for lunch service and prefer this over the straight. frankly i have no problem peeling anything with the peeler. all that matter is that it is super lightweight and sharp so your hand wont feel fatigue for that bulk peeling.

20 years with my oxxo good grip.

Why aren't there any Kyocera peelers in your test ? My favorite.

I bought the Kuhn Rikon last year based on it being an ATK top pick. I used it once. I washed it and the blade rusted so bad it became unusable.

of course it is oxo

I've had a progressive brand Y shaped peeler for years, and I would not use any other.

Cheap stainless steel y peeler for me. I’ve tried just about every peeler, from ceramic bladed y peelers to disc shaped peelers. The weak point of a y peeler is where it connects to the frame, and plastic doesn’t last a day for me. Ceramic blades break. A simple stainless steel model that I can afford to replace regularly is my go-to. As a caveat, I peel citrus fruit, needing a thin cut with an absolute minimum of pith on each piece, and peel in batches of 40kg to 100kg of fruit. Makrut/Kaffir lime is the toughest, and on a 40kg batch recently I got through 3 peelers before finding my preferred model, which is also one of the cheapest.

Been buying the Kuhn rikon peelers as gifts for years. I try to have a few extras on hand at all times to give as impromptu gifts. They stay sharp for a long long time ( I’ve replaced mine once in close to twenty years), and, they are very inexpensive.

Wish you would’ve peeled some fruit like for cocktail garnishes, the top pick is carbon steel so I don’t think it be right for citrus

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The straight peeler was OxO's first product

I was interested in a ceramic blade vs carbon steel with the same design.

Guess I will keep my Oxxo, by far the fastest and easiest peeler I have ever used. My hands are too big for a Y style and they feel flimzy

My brother has my mom's old peeler, probably over 40 years old, I wish I had it because I can't find one that works as well as that one does.

Hello, have you used the heart peeler? made in Germany

i have a Kitchenaid peeler and it must be some freak one off because i have bought 8 others that were suppose to be the very best and they didn't hold a candle to this Kitchenaid and i bought 2 others Kitchenaids and they were junk , i guess if you have something that works , treasure it !!

This is what I feel is correct. A straight peeler has 2 blades one for left hand useage one for right hand. The Y peeler has two blades so you can peel in BOTH directions, which can speed up and alot of wasted effort is'nt wasted, however I find this works best on long vegs.. not so much on small or round.

Oxo makes a Large Y-peeler, which can put some damage on cabbage.🥗

I hope you've got one, like the old-fashioned ones, that have a sharp end to get those potato eyes out. Ok, no, so I'll have to hang on to my 60 year old peelers.

Did not mention prices.

The Y-shaped peeler by Victorinox is by far the best. Why is it not in your line-up?

I just can't get the hangbof a peeler!

I know what the pointy thing is on the Y peeler. Is the loop/hole just for hanging it up?🤷‍♂️

why is it carbon steel vs stainless but no mention of ceramic

❤❤❤

💛...i use my mom's 60+ year-old straight, for sentimental reasons...btw, do peelers ever need sharpening...i know they get dull, so, is there a good way to do it?...

The wide took my nail. Thank goodness my nails are a bit long. It saved my finger.

I'm not sure why you would use a peeler to remove skin from ginger. The bowl of a teaspoon or the back of a knife removes only the skin, not the flesh.

Butternut pumpkin is not tough to peel. Try peeling a grey.

TRAPPED BITS IN PEELER - CARROTS

OXO straight peeler her at home

But they don’t have islands.

OXO good grips handles get sticky in less than decade.

and OXO strikes again, but still #notsponsored

I don't understand why it's so important to see what you're peeling. I'm looking at the food not the contact point of where the blade is hitting. They didn't mention the ceramic blades. They never rust and stay sharp forever.

Why did it take you 37 seconds to peel a carrot is the real question

Is there really anyone old enough to slice veg who still doesn't know which slicer to buy? Or that you can pick them up almost anywhere for the price of a lb of carrots?

Hi

i hardly peel stuff anymore, if a recipe calls for something to be peeled, i just ignore or dont bother

no reason to ever 'peel' carrots...

Why the masks?

Why do you have people wearing masks in your videos? Ridiculous
