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).

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 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.

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!

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.

@kswas278410 ай бұрын
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.

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.

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.

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.
