5.0 out of 5 stars Best ever vegetable peeler ever in the universe March 31, 2010

By Mr Hulot

I've used these peelers for more than 20 years. They last until someone breaks them doing something stupid (like trying to open a jar with one). I peel 100 to 200 pounds of potatoes a year. I peel more than one hundred pounds of carrots a year. A good peeler is really, really important in my kitchen. The bright colors make it easy to find the peeler in the knife drawer (unless you get a dark one). I have, at any one time, three in service, one or two as back ups. Most of the back ups are given to friends who see the peelers in use and who had nothing as good. For $3.50 I can be a hero. Anyway, if you have a typical crappy vegetable peeler, throw it away and order some of these. You'll thank me later.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Peeler Ever November 28, 2010

By Beemster

I have working in the kitchen proffessionally for over 20 years. This is one of the best peelers in the world. Like all other reviews this little peeler has the ability to handle tough items with ease, including hard gourds, but also is delicate enough to peel a tomato. The blade is extremely sharp and requires little maintenance. As far as the rusting of the blade PLEASE DO NOT put this peeler in the dishwasher. The carbon blade is reactive to acidity and requires a little food grade oil for storage. i have had one for ten years now and looks like new. If the blade does rust all you need is a SOS pad to remove and preventative maitenance in between. Never store wet and always wash after use in a mild soap solution dry completely after use and apply oil sparingly to the blade for storage. This peeler is well worth the price and is a great investment for the home cook and the proffessional. HIGHLY RECCOMMENDED

5.0 out of 5 stars the best! March 5, 2010

this little peeler may look like nothing compared to other fancy peelers, but it is the best. it has the strength of larger ones without all the fuss. the three pack is a steal for the money. i like the grip, it is comfortable to hold. it is small so it stores easily in drawer baskets. even tho it has a poly/plastic(?) grip, it is sturdy and handles tougher items like butternut squash. the blade rotates enough to slide over veggies without twisting like some others do. i looked for a long time for a good strong peeler, bought a few of the bigger names, (kitchen aid) and came back to this simple marvel..i love it. you will too!
