Fit your Piranha slicing board on to your Piranha peeler and you now have a mini mandolin which is ideal for slicing your fruits and vegetables into even slices.

If the blade is severely worn or damaged, it's best to replace the peeler for optimal performance and safety,” Pallian says. The super sharp teeth and micro blade technology means that you get a perfect result every time. Designed to stay super sharp. Plus, the serration also meant the lemon peels didn’t come off as smoothly and had a little more pith attached. However, because it was so easy to use and pleasant to hold, it earned a 5 out of 5 star rating for its usability.

9. Best sleek potato peeler: Alessi Sfrido Vegetable Peeler

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.

Replacement blades are included in the storage area at the base of the device. The peeler includes a 6-volt adapter, though it can also operate with batteries.

Both Rubba and Jennifer Pallian, food scientist and recipe developer, recommend stainless steel, as found in our best peeler, the Kuhn Rikon Piranha Y Peeler, 6.25-Inch, since it provides both excellent performance and durability.

Also, the blade cut flawlessly in both directions, making it ideal for any cutting method and for both left- and right-handed users.
