OXO Good Grips Swivel Peeler

I’ve been using the OXO Good Grips Y Peeler for about 8 months, and it has quickly become my go-to peeler. I use it on a variety of fruits and vegetables, including potatoes, carrots, cucumbers, asparagus, parsnips, and apples, and it handles them all with ease. The blade is incredibly sharp, making peeling quick and efficient, even for tougher skins like potatoes.The handle is another standout feature—it’s comfortable to hold, provides a secure grip even when my hands are wet, and doesn’t cause fatigue during longer prep sessions. The peeler is also very durable; after 8 months of regular use, it’s still in perfect condition and just as sharp as the day I got it.However, the sharpness can be a double-edged sword. While it’s fantastic for larger items, I’ve found it tricky to use on smaller, rounder items like small potatoes. It’s easy to accidentally catch your fingers, so I prefer to use a different peeler for those.Overall, I highly recommend the OXO Good Grips Y Peeler. It’s the best peeler I’ve tried, and its sharpness and comfort make it a joy to use. Just be cautious with smaller items, and you’ll love it as much as I do!

Great peeler,very sharp and good to handle

Just before Christmas (2019), I went to my cutlery drawer to get my trusty peeler to peel the spuds for dinner and couldn't find it. Gutted. How can something like that have disappeared? After interrogating the kids to find out if they've used it for a random weird project and still drew a blank, I've had to order a new one of these. I'd had one of these peelers for many years now. I find it easy and comfortable to hold, it's sharp so neatly peels the skin of assorted root veg very easily with minimal effort. I've got various other styles from I can't even recall where from but this is my go to. I can peel a stack of spuds for Sunday lunch for 8 people in no time at all.It claims to peel "even the toughest fruit & vegetable skins". Some of the fruit I've peeled include oranges, lemonsand butternut squash (yes! butternut squash is a fruit!!) and that was easy to do. I've also peeled all the normal sort of veg you'd expect, spuds, carrots, swede, parsnips, etc. All were pretty easy to peel.The handle shape is slightly elliptical so it doesn't spin around in your hand. It's also made of a type of very grippy rubber that has a series of slits along the length of it. This gives you a very sure hold on it whilst peeling and makes it easy to manipulate it to peel even those gnarly shaped ugly vegetables that suddenly went trendy after Jamie & Jimmy made us sad about only buying straight and regular shaped veg. The product blurb says "won’t slip, even when wet". I can verify that this is true. It's still super-grippy even when it's wet, my hand is wet or they're slick with potato... water/starch/juice/slightly white wet stuff you get off peeled potatoes.It's symmetrical in shape with blades on both sides. I'm right-handed but I dare say that it would work just as well for someone left-handed. I've not had an opportunity to get any of my left-handed friends to peel my veg to verify this though.The end of the peeler as a small, sharpish, plastic scoop type feature, the "eye remover". That sounds a bit grim so I've not done that but it's great at removing the minging black bits on potatoes.I can confirm that years of use and going through the dishwasher hasn't harmed it in the slightest. Before my original one randomly went on walkabout, it's been through the dishwasher countless times and always looked as good as new.Both my original one and this new one came with a small plastic cover to go over the metal blade section of the peeler; the business end. This is fine but frankly irritating when it's just lying about on your work top until you're emptying the dishwasher. I never put it back on my original one and despite being in a drawer with all manner of other utensils, it never got damaged or the blade nicked so I don't think it's necessary for the protection of the peeler. It has the aforementioned big rubbery handle. Just as that's great for holding it securely, it's also great for picking it up so I've also never gut, scraped or nicked my finger with the blade either. I can therefore only conclude that it's to keep it all shiny and nice during transit. I've therefore sent the peeler sheath in the way of the first one, into the bin.As mentioned, I keep it in a drawer rather than use the large in-handle hole to hang it on something. I'm sure you could use it for that but I prefer to hang photos, paintings and maybe a clock on a wall, not vegetable peeling kitchen utensils.I highly recommend this product if you want to peel fruit and veg.
