Advice on Potato Peelers

[Jules]

A totally unimportant question. As my potato peeler was dragging across the potatoes, I thought I’d ask here. Anyone have advice on potato/vegetable peelers.

Usually I buy Oxo brand, ~$13. Looking on Amazon they have peelers that are $25 and much more. One brand was suggested as never needing sharpening. I don’t believe that. And I sure don’t need anything to be aesthetically pleasing.

This one my wife bought many many years ago & it still as sharp as when bought.

Of course this is an important question. Everyone needs a good potato peeler.

It’s only $10 and from Canada.
Bonus.

I feel like the cheapest ones do a terrible job. I would be ok with a $13 one if it was sharp and worked nice. I feel $25 is too ridiculous.

I prefer the style in the middle along with a paring knife for potato eyes and a bit of cleanup.

Mine is an inexpensive $tore version, I only peel a few potatoes or carrots so quality isn’t too important.

If I did a lot of cooking I would probably buy this OXO three piece peeler set for around $30.00.

$18.02 Canadian, plus import fees. One review thought it was the same as Oxo.

I like the style on the left. I don’t peel many potatoes, mainly carrots. It’s probably what I’ll buy. I don’t want to spend a fortune, which it seems I could do if I wanted.

Patti, I’m showing $18.02. If you’re seeing $10 this must be a case of Amazon charging by postal code or by a customer’s shopping habits.

Wow. I thought that was too good a deal to be true. It’s a nice looking peeler though.

I have a similar one. It still works fantastic years later.

Check Temu but be careful to read and understand everything about the item before you buy.

I have an OXO. Had it for years. What I don't do is put it in the dishwasher.

The canadian one does look like an OXO.

@PeppermintPatty that is probably the exchange rate between the US and Canada.

Neither do I. The last time I replaced mine I wondered why I didn’t do it sooner. I can’t remember when that was.

 

[StarSong]

I peel a lot of carrots and cukes with my standard OXO peeler. Wish I could figure out how to sharpen it. (Hints would be appreciated.)

As it stands, I buy a new one every five years or so.

No it’s not the exchange rate. It’s the actually cost. It’s actually up almost a dollar more today.
