A good quality potato peeler is a far more efficient way to prepare your fruit and vegetables.

Making your own vegetable chips, whether you fry or bake them, is easier than you think. Almost any root vegetable can be made into homemade vegetable chips. Other options includerutabaga, turnips, celery root, and yuca. The vegetables are peeled, thinly sliced, and then soaked in water. After drained and dried, they are fried, kept warm, and then tossed with seasoned salt. We also love that it’s dishwasher safe, and the stainless steel blades are designed not to rust.

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.

We did note that it didn’t have an eye scooper for the potatoes, so you’ll have to remove those separately. When we peeled lemon rinds, the process was equally as smooth and yielded delicate slices with very little pith (the bitter white layer under 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. The Precision Kitchenware - Ultra Sharp Stainless Steel Dual Julienne & Vegetable Peeler was quite heavy and bulky. It performed slowly on the potato test, though the scooper worked well. The cuts were also jagged on the lemon peel; there was very little pith attached, but the peel came off in pieces rather than a smooth curl. Though we appreciated the julienne option, we didn’t feel that made up for the poor performance and bulky hand feel. Your Questions, Answered Are vegetable peelers safe to use?We also love that it includes a julienne blade as well, so you can change your peeling style just by flipping the blade. Both blades are made of stainless steel, and the peeler includes a built-in side cutter to remove potato eyes or blemishes. To extend the life of this peeler, avoid putting it in the dishwasher so the wooden handle doesn’t warp. I now have 4 products that I find essential and very safe in my kitchen. When I buy a new one I always buy two ....one for my daughter as well. Lovely quality sturdy tools. [ ...] 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. Material: Think about the material you want for the handle of the peeler. You may want sleek stainless steel or prefer budget, plastic designs. Look out for non-slip features for safety too.
