Product Information

The wavy blade design increases food's surface area, promoting oxidation and making it easier to soften and cook. It also reduces friction and damage to food, helping it maintain its shape and texture. Therefore, for foods like potatoes and cucumbers that need to maintain their texture, the wavy blade design is more suitable. This peeler cleaned up easily by hand, and it came out of the dishwasher with no obvious issues. Since it's also made entirely of stainless and has a long warranty, it should perform well over time. In other words, honing resets the edge the knife was given when it was last sharpened. With use, that edge will get worn down and the knife will need to be sharpened, but using a steel regularly will keep the edge for three times longer than not using one. Learning to use a steel is a skill and takes a bit of practise, but start slowly and you’ll get the hang of it. Easy to Clean: Thanks to its smooth surface and stainless steel blade, the knife is easy to clean. It can be cleaned with soap and water. In testing, this felt very smooth when peeling. Unlike some of the metal peelers, this required very little force to get a good cut. It performed best when used with a light touch, which made it less tiring to use. While this worked well peeling tomatoes, we found that it was best to move the peeler side-to-side rather than pulling it in the direction of the cut.

Built for peeling, coring, and slicing apples, this can be converted to peel-only mode for potatoes or for other fruits and vegetables that don’t need to be cored or sliced. The peeling blade is adjustable to two settings for smaller foods or deeper peeling, or for larger foods or less aggressive peeling. We successfully peeled and cored apples, and moved on to peeling potatoes and sweet potatoes. This worked best with foods that were more round rather than uneven or oval. With some potatoes, we had to do a little trimming to remove sections of peel. We also had to cut our long sweet potatoes to fit.

Do I need a crinkle cut knife to make these?

With a few exceptions, peelers are among the least expensive kitchen gadgets, so it’s not unusual to see several different peelers in the gadget drawer—each with its own purpose—because peeling carrots is much different than peeling tomatoes. Since they’re inexpensive, it’s also nice to have a spare, so you’re not waiting for the dishwasher to finish before you can peel the Yukons.

Comfortable Handle: The handle is designed to be comfortable to hold, even for extended periods of use. The upgraded version of a classic OXO peeler, this one has a slightly better grip, a sharper blade, and is built to be even sturdier than the original. The swiveling blade moves at exactly the right angle to peel vegetables with ease, and after peeling a virtual produce bin’s worth of vegetables, we couldn’t find anything this peeler couldn’t handle. We tested it with potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, apples, and tomatoes, as well as some limes. No matter what, it cut easily and felt smooth. Versatile Use:The knife is not only suitable for cutting potatoes but also cucumbers, carrots, and other vegetables with ease.Peeling potatoes with a knife involves using a sharp paring knife to remove the skin from the potato. First, I wash the potato thoroughly and begin peeling off the skin from one end to the other and then on each side. After peeling, I cut off any bruised or blemished areas. If I am slicing the potato to fry or to use in a gratin, I usually place the potato on the cutting board and use a chef’s knife to cut slices. Potatoes can be frozen for longer storage, but they should be blanched or fully cooked before freezing, whether they are whole peeled potatoes, chunks, wedges, or shreds. Cheesy, creamy mashed potatoes topped with garlic parmesan potato gratin – this truly is the ultimate side dish! The grip has finger-hold ridges, but they may not be perfect for every user. We found them a little off for the way we wanted to grip the peeler, but other users may love it. The blade swivels so it’s at the right angle for cutting, and the peeler managed to remove the peels in one swipe without removing an excessive amount of the actual potato. When all the work is done, cleanup is easy since it’s dishwasher safe.

For easy cleaning, it can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher. In fact, this has been one tester's go-to peeler for three years and she always throws it into the dishwasher when she's done with it. Versatile Use: The knife is not only suitable for cutting potatoes but also cucumbers, carrots, and other vegetables with ease. Hold the steel firmly and vertically against a surface: a heavy wooden board is ideal. If the surface is slippery use a cloth to steady the steel. Peelers might be one of the most common kitchen gadgets, right alongside wooden spoons. Unlike spoons, though, there are a lot of differences between models. From the general shape of the peeler and the blade material to the handle material and the color, there are a lot of options from which to choose. There are two basic shapes for handheld potato peelers: straight or Y-shaped. Which shape you choose is all about personal preference. Potato peelers typically have either a stainless steel or carbon steel blade, and each has its advantages and disadvantages. Stainless steel blades are rust-resistant and less prone to breakage, but they can dull faster than carbon steel. The latter is a pro favorite due to how sharp it is, but it's also easy to break when dropped and can rust if not dried properly after washing. When it comes to peeler handles, they come either flat or rounded and are made of either plastic or metal—though many do come with a rubber cushion.The wavy blade design increases food's surface area, promoting oxidation and making it easier to soften and cook. It also reduces friction and damage to food, helping it maintain its shape and texture. 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.

During this time I recommend melting the butter and warming the cream using the residual heat in the pot. Doing this will help the potatoes absorb both of them without turning the mash clumpy. 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. Nope! They cook through in the oven and crisp up beautifully. If you slice them thinly they’ll be perfectly tender by the time the whole thing is done. People who already own a stand mixer will love this multifunction peeler, spiralizer, and slicer. Much like hand-cranked peelers, but motorized by the mixer’s power hub, this will make short work of a pile of potatoes. When it’s apple season, you can peel, core, and slice bushels of apples with little effort. Change the blade, and you can spiralize potatoes, zucchini, beets, and more. We liked it for its speed when compared to handheld options.

It depends on how the potatoes will be used. Many people like to slice the potatoes in half horizontally and bake them in their skins. If the peels won’t be desirable for serving, the potatoes should be peeled before cooking. Drizzle a bit more water over the stone and place the tip of the blade against the stone at a 20-degree angle (see how to tell an angle). Draw the knife along stone applying a bit pressure as if you were shaving a thin layer off the top. When you’re prepping for a large dinner, it’s always nice to do some of the work ahead of time. Yes, you can peel your potatoes ahead, but after peeling they should be submerged in cold water to keep them from turning brown. They can be peeled up to 24 hours in advance and kept submerged in cold water in the refrigerator. SUPERIOR STAINLESS STEEL - Constructed from high quality stainless steel for strength and durability.
