Kuhn Rikon 22780 Piranha Y Peeler, Red

Product Information

Ease of use: For something so simple, it seems to be surprisingly easy to make an ineffective peeler. Fit your Piranha slicing board on to your Piranha peeler and you now have a mini mandolin which is ideal for slicing your fruits and vegetables into even slices. If it's a set you're looking for, you absolutely cannot go wrong with the Oxo Good Grips 3-Piece Peeler Set. If you prefer a straight peeler over a y-shaped one, the Kuhn Rikon Piranha peeler glides easily across a variety of surfaces and is comfortable to hold.

For our straight peeler test, we tried out the cousin to the Swissmar Double-Edge Peeler, the Swissmar Curve Peeler.It has a weightiness akin to a pro kitchen knife and the curved grip nestles comfortably in the palm. The only potential downside to the design is the wide blade, which we found tricky to maneuver over smaller fruit and vegetables. Unfortunately, we didn’t have as much luck with sweet potatoes, which was disappointing after seeing how well it handled white potatoes. The function of the second blade is to guide the first one along—not to cut into the flesh of the vegetable.

We thought this peeler felt incredibly smooth when in use and required very little force to get a good cut. This means less of the guide’s surface comes in contact with the food, allowing the peeler to glide along more easily.

If you peel a lot of thicker-skinned vegetables like butternut squash, take note that in our testing, these tasks required multiple strokes from this peeler. If you’d rather put your stand mixer to work instead of your wrists, then this KitchenAid attachment is about to become your new best friend when it’s time to peel veggies. Not only do you have the option to go for a colorful set—one swivel peeler with a green handle, one julienne peeler with an orange handle, and one serrated peeler with a red handle—but these peelers also offer versatility and durability. It was a little tricky to find the best way to hold it at first, both for peeling and when using the eyer but once we'd got the hang of it, it worked well.

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. We breezed through several pounds of Yukon and sweet potatoes without noticing any dulling of the blade. Highest quality: our universal peeler is made of durable and food-safe stainless steel and is dishwasher safe.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. The Y-peeler design allows for more control and customization than any other shaped peeler, plus you can use it in both directions.
