It can reach misshapen areas – This peeler was able to get all of the potato eyes and crazy angles in the sweet potato I used it to peel.Swivel blade – This really makes a difference and makes it a lot easier to peel.Easy to grip – The size of the peeler fits easily into my hand, which makes it a lot easier to grip in one hand and to hold the vegetable in the other hand.I attempted the acorn squash with this and the blade still glided across the squash (that is not to say there were no difficulties due to the ridges, but the peeler handled them gracefully!). It just like glides across the vegetables. It works really well – It peels very easily and is so smooth.It turns out that it really is not dishwasher safe because it came out with rust spots all over it (due to the carbon steel blade). It is not dishwasher safe – It is advertised as not being able to be washed in the dishwasher, and naturally, I tested that because as far as I am concerned, everything, except for special knives, should be able to be ran through the dishwasher.It is advertised as the bottom portion of the peeler being able to get the potato eyes out, but I do not see how that is possible and it did not work for me. It cannot reach all misshapen areas – This peeler was unable to reach some of the potato eyes.I cannot imagine using it to peel in the direction towards you. Unprotected blade – The blade on the peeler is unprotected, so you need to pay extra attention while peeling.It is too small – This peeler is really small, to the point that it fits awkwardly in my hand (I’m 5’4″) and makes it a little hard when trying to peel a larger, uniquely shaped vegetable, which I would imagine would fit a lot worse in a larger person’s hand.It is cheap – At the time of writing this, it is around the $5 price point.I was not expecting it to be able to withstand peeling a butternut squash, but it performed better than expected. It works – It does a good job at peeling the different vegetables.I do not think that I have previously had any experience with the Y-shaped peelers. I have had positive experiences with swivel-type peelers previously, but that is solely in comparison to the straight peelers that do not swivel. In addition to the shape of the peeler, there is also the option as to whether the peeler swivels or not, which can apply to both peeler shapes. You can see more on this in the review video below. The main difference is how you grip and move your wrist as you peel the fruit, vegetable, or in some cases, piece of cheese. Both types of peelers can peel moving in both directions: either towards you or away from you.
#Kuhn vegetable peeler pro#
As you can see, the Kuhn Rikon is a Y-shaped peeler and the OXO Good Grips Pro Swivel is a straight peeler. This refers to the actual shape of the peeler. There are two types of peelers: a straight peeler and a Y-shaped peeler.
For example, the carbon steel blades can easily have issues with rust. This is important to note, both in the efficiency of peeling, as well as in the maintenance and care needed to maintain the blade.
In the case of the two peelers that I reviewed, the Kuhn Rikon is a carbon steel blade and the OXO Good Grips Pro Swivel is a stainless steel blade. There are three different types of blades: stainless steel, carbon steel and ceramic blades.
