Using a ceramic peeler can delay browning for a short while. However, if there is a large pile of potatoes that will take time to peel, or if you want to peel an hour or two ahead, the potatoes should be submerged in cold water to keep them from browning before you’re ready to use them. Traditional peelers feature a double vertical blade positioned parallel to the handle and is better at getting around curves and edges, says Nicole Papantoniou, Kitchen Appliances & Innovation Lab Director. OXO make superb kitchen utensils, but they’ve applied their expertise to a wider range of household products too. Particularly their selection of OXO food storage containers. One of the first products ever 'invented' by the founder of OXO Good Grips - this iconic swivel peeler was the start of a range of kitchen tools, all ergonomically-designed to suit every generation of user. OXO peelers and tools were especially focused on those with arthritis, who may struggle to grip utensils tightly. Kyocera is known for its incredibly sharp ceramic knives, so it’s no surprise that it also offers peelers with ceramic blades. This Y-shaped peeler won’t rust or corrode, and the ceramic material minimizes food browning, which is great when you’re peeling large quantities of apples or potatoes. Like Kyocera’s ceramic knives, the blade on this peeler is made from the company’s proprietary zirconia material that will stay sharp much longer than similar metal knives.

Reviewers are immensely pleased with this product, noting that they were able to peel more difficult produce items, such as butternut squash. We found the same to be true during our tests, noting this peeler shines when working with firm produce, like carrots, apples, and cucumbers. However, we found it unable to peel softer-skinned fruit, like tomatoes; For that job, you’ll do better with one of the serrated blade peelers on this list. The best way to know which potato peeler is right for you is to figure out what you're mainly going to use it for and how often. If you're mainly using it to peel potatoes, perhaps a swiveling one with a comfortable rubber grip works best. If you're going to use your peeler for other purposes, such as julienning, something dual-purpose with extra-sharp blades may be more your speed. If you'd rather the tool do all the work (and you have the kitchen space), consider an electric peeler. This peeler is especially easy to use thanks to an ultra-sharp blade that takes off produce skin in one smooth, thin strip with very little effort or fatigue on the hands. Whether we were peeling jumbo sweet potatoes or small plum tomatoes, this peeler performed consistently. It even took the skin right off a very ripe Roma tomato. The ergonomic design and vertical blade position made it easy to glide the peeler over both wide and narrow produce and curved items, including pears. Electric peelers run on a motor and save you time and effort. Some are self-contained and run on their own power, while others are attachments for appliances like a stand mixer. They generally spin the produce against a blade to remove the skin in a continuous strip. They're helpful if you're facing a big batch or if you have trouble using manual peelers.
