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. The final item of the Piranha Peeler Set is the Spiral Cutter. Complete your food with the perfect garnish. Use this cutter to bring vegetable and fruit to life. Piranha Peeler Set with Spiral Cutter Contents: 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. The julienne peeler cuts your fruit and vegetables in to julienne strips allowing you to create varied and interesting salads and meals. There are two main types of peeler that we focused on during testing: swivel and Y-peeler. A Y-peeler is shaped like, in essence, a Y in the handle, with the blade running across the top of the Y. A swivel peeler features a blade in a parallel line with the handle. We prefer a Y-peeler in general, as does Rubba, for better handling.

A good quality potato peeler is a far more efficient way to prepare your fruit and vegetables. Not only can it reduce the amount of time spent in the kitchen, but it can also allow you to prepare food safely and efficiently with minimal waste. We’re big fans of the Oxo Y-peelers. They have comfortable handles, are easy to clean, and come in a set with a straight, serrated, and julienne blade. Ultimately, the Kuhn Rikon won out over these also-great peelers because of what we know about its long-term ability to retain sharpness.If the blade is severely worn or damaged, it's best to replace the peeler for optimal performance and safety,” Pallian says. The Rösle Stainless Steel Wide Crosswise Swivel Peeler was one of the highest scoring peelers we tested, and it’s worth the splurge if you’re looking for a high-quality vegetable peeler. 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.

The julienne peeler cuts your fruit and vegetables into julienned strips allowing you to create varied and interesting salads and meals. The super sharp teeth and microblade technology mean that you get a perfect result every time. Designed to stay super sharp, the blade has a 5-year guarantee. Comfort is key when you’re using a tool that requires diligence and repetition. Keep your hands comfortable with an easy, natural grip that’s not going to fall out of your hands. This peeler, which is equally as comfortable for righties as it is for lefties, boasts a molded handle that is easy to hold onto. The dual stainless steel blades allow you to peel in either direction. 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. When all is said and done, you can wash this in the dishwasher.

The runner-up: Tovolo Magnetic Tri-Peeler

Eyer: Do you want an integrated eyer for removing small blemishes and imperfections? While it's not an essential, it is a nice feature to have. Before testing the vegetable peelers, we collected the general data about our peelers, noting the weight, dimensions, materials, and care instructions. After our initial inspection of the peelers, we then used each peeler to peel two potatoes and timed how long this process took. Then, we tested each peeler on a lemon to determine how well it performed on a different texture. In each test, we rated the peelers on ease of use, performance, and cleaning. This roundup was updated by Sharon Lehman, RDN, a passionate home cook who is also a registered dietitian. Since testing five of the peelers on this list, she keeps reaching for the Kuhn Rikon, which she found the most versatile of the bunch.

This classic, Swiss-design peeler offers a serrated swivel peeler that is adept at catching onto tough-to-penetrate skins (fuzzy, hard, or smooth), like tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and peaches. The serrated blade is also great for trimming tougher foods, like fresh asparagus and squash.Because it's serrated, it leaves behind very fine ridges on the item that you’re peeling, which provides extra grip on your food to prevent slipping. The imprint is so small, though, that you may not even notice.In general, we don’t recommend a swivel peeler, since they’re harder to use and don’t peel as well as Y-peelers. During the potato test, the Spring Chef Premium Swivel Vegetable Peeler had a useful scooper, but the pieces got caught easily in the blade. We also found that it was difficult to maneuver around curves. The lemon peel came off in small bits, with lots of pith. If you’re in the market for several peelers to outfit your kitchen, this Oxo set is the way to go. 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. If you prefer a wooden look, the Opinel Y is our top choice, giving us a clean, smooth peel overall. This attractive vegetable peeler has a beechwood handle and is available in three color options (red, green, and navy). If your kitchen has a Scandinavian look or modern organic style, this is the best vegetable peeler to match your aesthetic.
