I need a better potato peeler

[pestov]

I find them so hard to use. This one peels carrots OK but is narrow so leaves a gauge when doing a big potato. AIBU to ask for recommendations for the ultimate veg peeler or is this as good as it gets?

Also, ove been waiting a long time to recommend it to someone, but none of my friends talk about potato peelers (the bastards)
I love mumsnet.

A y shaped one from home bargains, it costs 49p and I think it does the job brilliantly. And at that price it is well worth the risk of buying one to find out.

They are available in red, black or white.

Team Oxo here too. Expensive but worth it, do squash, marrow etc easily with it!

Lakeland works best for me

Another Oxo Good Grips vote. Had mine for years and it's by far the best peeler I've ever used.

The Oxo good grips one is good. It started to go blunt so I replaced it with a Zyliss one and it’s not nowhere near as good. I am still using the blunt Oxo one instead.

You can peel butternut squash but it’s hard work, even with a decent peeler. Depending on the recipe, I cook it first as it’s a bit easier to peel when cooked.

I can't help you but I will take this opportunity to say how much I love mine. My grandmother gave it to me 25ish years ago. It was new, she'd got herself one and liked it so much she bought one for me. It's fabulous but I have no idea what make it is.

Definitely the Oxo Good Grips one. A friend bought me one years ago as she thought my existing one was crap and it's been going strong ever since.

I love my Oxo one. They do Lancashire and straight versions. I find a straight peeler much faster and less likely to peel my thumbs

I just use a knife, always end up peeling my hands otherwise

'Culinare', the best peelers bar none. I'm the fastest peeler in our family and I love doing it too.

Make that - in the world actually... it's my one talent.

Oxo good grips here too!

Good grips seem to do loads of peelers! Are people recommending the swivel, serrated or Y?

I use this one www.lakeland.co.uk/6367/OXO-Good-Grips-Potato-Peeler

Same as Littlebelina.

Kuhn Ricon - Swiss make, we have it about 8 years and every day when I use it I think what a pleasure it is - seriously! Our is a stainless steel Y shaped one. I truly LOVE it

I can peel a Swede with it, in the same amount of time it takes to peel a potato.

How do you get a Swede to stand still long enough to peel him?

Palm peeler#!! Love it!

Oxo good grips Y shape peeler. Had it for years and still going strong

Another vote for Lakeland.

Oxo good grips here too!

Y shaped!

Another Oxo fan here. I recently had to replace mine (with another Oxo) after 15 years because it was just starting to get less sharp. I have the same one pp linked above.

The straight one that -Lirrlebelina linked. I don't like Y shaped ones, find them clumsy to use.
