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. There are three common types of blade materials: stainless steel, ceramic, and carbon steel. Stainless steel blades are by far the most popular because it is the one material that you can sharpen like you would with knives. Ceramic blades are similar in sharpness to stainless steel, but when it comes to toughness and durability, they can be more prone to breaking or dulling. Lastly, carbon steel blades are susceptible to rust if not taken care of properly. This means you will have to wipe down after each use, so the blade isn’t wet. 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.

The julienne peeler cuts your fruit and vegetables in to julienne strips allowing you to create varied and interesting salads and meals. If you’re wanting an automatic peeler, but you don’t own a stand mixer, you can opt for this freestanding electric peeler. It claims to work on most produce, such as potatoes, apples, citrus, and stone fruits. Although the position of the peeler can be adjusted to accommodate fruit and veggies of all sizes, it struggles with thinner items like parsnips and carrots and heavier items like butternut squash.

It can also slice vegetables into ribbons and even shred cabbage or lettuce. Probably the best peeler you will ever own, it even comes with a 5-year guarantee on the blade. We had no issues peeling any vegetables, from hard sweet potatoes to delicate tomatoes. It cut well in both directions, though we did find that sometimes peels got caught in the blade rather than falling away, so it slowed the peeling time down a bit, especially with potatoes. However, the peeler managed to remove the peels in one swipe and didn't remove an excess amount of the actual potato. Manual peelers are available in a straight handle design or a Y-peeler. For the straight handles, the blade is parallel to the handle, so you’ll hold the blade on its side and work in a sideways fashion, sort of like you’re brushing hair. For a Y-peeler, the blade is perpendicular to the handle, so you’ll work in a more vertical motion like you’re painting a wall top to bottom. The difference in stroke can largely be left up to personal preference.

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. This may be a worthwhile investment if you find yourself peeling a lot of potatoes at once. If you want to peel and slice vegetables in an instant, then you need a peeler with sharp teeth.
