Product Information

Whether you’re prepping potatoes, peeling apples or creating thin ribbons of carrots for coleslaw or salad, this lightweight yet durable peeler is really easy to use and offers super efficient food preparation. The sharp swivel blade removes thin layers of peel to help reduce food waste and there is an in-built eyer to assist with the removal of unwanted marks or dark spots. Pros The ProCook sharp swivel blade peels in both directions, making it suitable for both left- and right- handed users and the year long guarantee means you can buy with confidence. Pros Once you've decided what style and material you want, the third factor to consider when buying a vegetable peeler is general ease of use. Look for cushioned, soft grip handles that can take pressure off your hand and wrist, or go for an electric model and let it do the work for you. I have a Victorinox solid one. I think the Victorinox peeler has the best cutting action for spuds once you get the hang of it.” (Recommended by Mumsnet user Civliz)

While the Y Peeler is well-suited to vegetables, the OXO Good Grips Swivel Potato Peeler is perfect for spuds. Make sure you explore the Good Grips range. Their carefully considered easy-to-grip design means their kitchen tools are accessible as well as effective.

KitchenAid Classic Euro Peeler: This swivel peeler had an average performance. With potatoes, it sometimes skidded during peeling, and due to the straight swivel action, peeled skin would often get trapped in the blade. The Pro version of OXO's Y-peeler has some heft. It masterfully peels potatoes but becomes bulky feeling with more delicate tasks.

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. OXO Good Grips Pro Swivel Peeler: Another swivel peeler, the OXO Good Grips Pro Swivel Peeler had a comfortable handle and peeled smoothly, but had a difficult time getting around nooks and crannies. That said, if you’re loyal to swivel peelers, this is the model to go for. Material: Blades are generally stainless steel or carbon steel, though there are ceramic-bladed peelers. Stainless steel holds a sharp edge and is also usually dishwasher safe. Carbon steel is very sharp but can rust over time if not washed and dried thoroughly. Ceramic blades are sharp but can stain.Unlike a lot of swivel peelers, which often have the blade on only one side, the shape of a y-peeler makes it work in either hand. As a lefty, it's invaluable to have a peeler that works for me—and anyone else in my kitchen. Although it seems like a basic gadget, there are actually many different types of peelers to choose from. Some require manual effort, while others work at the press of a button. They come in different shapes and feature different blade materials, but, ultimately, they all serve the same purpose — removing the outer layer of fruits and veggies. Comfort: Think about how easy the peeler is to hold. Does it have a non-slip or easy grip handle that stays firm even with wet hands? The ProCook Y Shaped Potato Peeler is a sturdy peeler made from stainless steel which not only looks good, but is really easy to clean by hand and safe to use in the dishwasher too.
