Product Information

Made especially for peeling smooth and fuzzy skins including ripe fruit, tomatoes and peppers, the Kuhn Rikon Piranha peeler comes with a super sharp serrated blade which can create paper thin peels without damaging or misshaping your fruit.

Type of blade: Do you want a straight or serrated edge blade? Straight edge blades can be better for potatoes and create a more presentable, smooth finish, but serrated edges can be more efficient for soft and delicate fruits.Many fruits and vegetables have an outer peel or skin that's usually safe to consume but can be removed depending on personal preference or recipe. You can use vegetable peelers on squash, potatoes, beets, turnips, eggplant, and carrots. We also measured the peeler’s design. The amount of space between the blade and the bridge (which connects it to the handle) has a huge impact on the peeler’s performance. Too small and the peeler clogs easily, but too large and food will haphazardly fly around the kitchen. And let’s not forget how important ergonomics is when it comes to peeling—especially in great quantities—so we wanted a peeler that was lightweight enough to prevent our arms from tiring and designed to fit comfortably in our hands. What are you using it for?: Are you just peeling potatoes or do you intend to use the peeler for other fruit and vegetable skins? Some peelers work better on soft skins, whilst others are more robust and suitable for harder, toughened fruit and vegetables. Peel Butternut Squash Test (Winners-Only): Pitting our leading peelers against a hardy, tougher skin, we peeled one butternut squash per peeler, noting how cleanly the peeler cut through the skin and how sturdy the blade was.

Shape: Do you want to use a traditional straight peeler or a Y-shaped peeler? Some like a Y-shape for easier peeling, whereas others opt for a straight blade for precision. It’s really down to personal preference. The second OXO Good Grips peeler to feature in this guide, the Good Grips Swivel Peeler comes with swivelling sharp twin blades which effortlessly peel around curves, making light work of even the most wonky, misshapen fruit and vegetables. 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 have designed this Y-shaped vegetable peeler to make peeling even the toughest of veg easy. With a uniquely shaped handle including indents to rest your fingers during peeling, this stainless steel peeler is easy to clean and is dishwasher safe. It also comes with a Lakeland three year guarantee so you know it will last. ProsIf you’ve ever tried peeling potatoes using a knife, you will know that whilst you’ll eventually get the job done, it isn’t particularly straightforward. Unless you’ve fully perfected the technique, peeling potatoes with a knife can take a substantial amount of time and, chances are, you’ll waste half the potato or even peel a finger or two in the process. Not only does this sleek stainless steel peeler come with a unique twisted ribbon design, it also arrives gift boxed and well presented - an ideal present for a keen foodie or chef. A majority of peelers on the market and on our list are made with steel blades, typically stainless steel or carbon steel. But there's another option not to be ruled out: ceramic peelers. The Kyocera Peeler claims to maintain a sharp edge 10 times longer than a stainless steel blade. If you peel produce several times a week, this one is for you. We love a good Y-peeler, and our favorite is the Kuhn Rikon Original Swiss Peeler. It's light, easy to hold, and has a sharp carbon steel blade that cleanly peels root vegetables, citrus, hard cheese, and more. In fact, we recently reviewed 14 vegetable peelers and the Kuhn Rikon Original Swiss Peeler came out on top. You can read more about how we tested here. 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)
