Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Before getting these slingshot shaped peelers, I was totally committed to my straight design, specifically the excellent Oxo Good Grips model with which I can whittle off the skin of an apple or spud with a single uninterrupted stroke, giving a single ribbon easy to chuck into the trash.
But, my cook tool hero Alton Brown stated that the Y shape is useful for some applications, so who was I to be so fussy as to turn down a chance to try these cheap models.
The single very best thing about these peelers is that their blades are very sharp. This means they will work well even on things which are commonly difficult to peel. I tried one on the skin of a relatively hard peach and the little fellow had the fruit skinless in a thrice. I then tried it on a carrot and found that not only did it do an excellent job, it worked even better than my favorite Good Grips due to the suitablity of the peeler shape to multiple strokes in the same direction.
The one thing I did not like about these peelers is the fact that they are so light. It feels like they can snag on a particularly strong potato eye and slip right out of your hand. I am really surprised that neither OXO nor Kuhn Rikon have come up with a design which uses replaceable blades. This gives the advantages of cheap replacement with a good, heavy handle.
But, comparing price to performance, this product is a winner.
