Recommendation for a Peeler please.

[fauve01]

For Potatoes and Apples. My dad has a peeler that I swear is 50 years old & I've never had a peeler I liked. It seems like a good stocking stuffer! So which peeler do you guys recommend? Is there one you love?

TIA

The OXO swivel one! I even travel with it when we rent a vacation house!

I love my zylis peeler. All my relatives who have used it while here gave also loved it, so I've given them as gifts too.

I have the Kuhn Rikon swiss peeler. It's great. There are some others by the same company that look interesting and get good reviews.

I bought a Messermeister serrated peeler based on a Cook's illustrated review a couple years ago and really like it. It's nice and sharp and peels easier than oxo and other brands I've had in the past. I actually did give them as stocking stuffers one year....

I just got this one to make memories with the children and cousins, but haven't tried it yet.

Seconding! We got this from an aunt a few years ago and it's great! Still super sharp. I have a couple other peelers, but at this point they're somewhere in the very far back of the misc drawer because they're only ever used when multiple people are peeling at once.

Thanks everyone!

I bought the Kuhn Rikon after watching America's Test Kitchen. It was a whopping $2.50. I actually bought it in a 3 pack at the grocery store. Just be aware that it has a carbon steel blade, so you need to rinse it right after using and dry it to prevent rust. No dishwasher (this is why I bought a 3-pack.)

I love my OXO pealer! Its over 15 years old and still very sharp and going strong!

We have that one and I find it cumbersome & fussy. DH can get it set up, but I have a ton of trouble with it!

When it works, it's fantastic; when it doesn't, it sucks.

We have the Kuhn Rikon y-peeler one in purple for DD to use on carrots - it's shorter than my OXO one and has a nice chunky handle, so it's easy for her little paws to grip.

LOVE it, but, yes, do rinse it immediately and let it air dry. We've run it through the dishwasher by mistake and it's rusted now. Santa will need to replace it!
