Kuhn Rikon 22780 Piranha Y Peeler, Red

Product Information

Manual peelers are available in a straight handle design or a Y-peeler. For the straight handles, the blade is parallel to the handle, so you’ll hold the blade on its side and work in a sideways fashion, sort of like you’re brushing hair. For a Y-peeler, the blade is perpendicular to the handle, so you’ll work in a more vertical motion like you’re painting a wall top to bottom. The difference in stroke can largely be left up to personal preference.

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. We will usually ask for a signature on delivery and will definitely require a signature if the delivery includes age restricted items, such as knives.

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. Full performance: functionality meets simple design - our paring knife combines peeler, vegetable peeler and kitchen slicer in just one product. 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.

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. Great for slicing carrots, onions, potatoes and much more - ideal for creating salads, soups, stews, casseroles and more. The julienne peeler cuts your fruit and vegetables in to julienne strips allowing you to create varied and interesting salads and meals. 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.The most important part of the peeler is the blade. If the blade is strong and sharp, you’re going to have a tough time getting through certain vegetables, and you also want a blade that stays sharp. If you want to peel and slice vegetables in an instant, then you need a peeler with sharp teeth. "The Piranha Peeler," is a must for every kitchen. This peeler has a swivelling pair of serrated micro blades which cut on the push and pull strokes. 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. 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.

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.

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.
