Kuhn Rikon Original Swiss Peeler 3-Pack Red/Green/Yellow

For those who work in the food industry, this one is an essential.Common complaints: Blade rusts, awkward to use, feels cheap.Response:1.) The blade rusts because the peeler is not made of stainless steel. As someone else has already pointed out, it's carbon steel which requires more care (rinse/wash & wipe try with a kitchen towel right away) to prevent rusting. However, this makes the Kuhn Rikon peelers MUCH sharper. They also keep their edge longer than your normal metal swivel head peeler that most people are used to seeing.2.) For new users, the kuhn rikon peeler can feel quite awkward because its Y-shape means that it is best for certain things. In the restaurant business, peeling 10gallons of potatoes for mash happens every couple days and this is the peeler to do it. The Y-peeler is best for certain tasks and requires a certain grip and technique. It takes some getting used to but once you've got it down, you'll be going through apples and potatoes like no one's business.3.) These peelers aren't meant to be kept for years unless of course you only peel a few veggies a year. For the product intended use, these are plenty sturdy, can be thrown around, used, abused and still stay sharper for longer. Many prep cooks go through one of these every couple months just because of the sheer volume of food they prepare. So, with professional wear and tear, you're not going to keep them around forever. The reason why cooking professionals are generally so satisfied with these is that the Kuhn Rikons are the best peelers when considering working efficiency, durability and price.Summary: If you're a home cook who only peels an apple as a snack and a few potatoes for dinner every few days, you might not want to bother with getting used to a different kind of peeler and the slightly higher maintenance. BUT if you're in the food industry, you know that you can't find what the Kuhn Rikon peelers have to offer anywhere else.

After quite a bit of research to find the best peeler, I lucked out with the Kuhn Rikon original Swiss peeler. It performed just as the reviews stated. Cut through thick skins of squash and other root vegetables with ease. Very sharp and sturdy! I haven't tried with "eye" remover but I'm sure it will perform well when needed. This will make meal prep easier and more efficient. Glad I made this purchase

These work great and were made to be disposable once they wear out (just like in a commercial kitchen). Well priced for the quality.

These are comfy to use and quite sharp. Makes peeling veggies easy.

Don’t waste your money. I rarely write bad reviews because I do my research. I looked this brand up and it was number one of the top ten peelers. Who reviewed this?I have a small hand and it is too small for me. The blade was dull and it was difficult to peel. I nicked my knuckle…this peeler went in the garbage.Go to Home Goods and buy a Kitchen Aide peeler that fits your hand and save yourself the aggravation and spend a third of the price. I realized that I don’t like Y peelers…the swivel style works better for me.

I bought this item 3rd time in a few years. One of those 3 times was for a gift.Recently one of the three peelers broke and another one got lost. So I was down to only one. I came back to buy another set.They look practicaly identical, but I found that the new ones are not as good as the older ones were.If the vegetable I peel is not hard (for example asparagus) these new ones will slip and won't peel well. On the harder veggies like carrots and potatoes they work fine, but I still feel a bit of a difference.Overall they do the job and they are still better than many other peelers on the market. And I would still recommend them over other peelers (and I tried A LOT!!!)Their blades are made out of the metal that rusts. They always were like that. That is why they are so sharp and work so well. Because of that specific metal.Because of that do NOT put them in the dishwasher and do not throw them into the sink with your dirty dishes! Because they WILL rust. They are ridiculously easy to clean. Just rinse them after use, dry with papertowel or kitchen towel and put them away. And they will last forever and will not rust. Mine never rusted, but I knew they will if I leave them out in the sink for long enough.

Best peeler on the market.

Pay attention when you use these. They are very sharp. I damaged a nail bc I wasn't focusing. And dry the blades after you wash them. They tend to rust. They get the job done, especially when you have to peel the pear and potato harvest for canning. I would recommend not allowing younger kids to use these.
