The blade sits crossways at the top of the handle, so you draw it towards you like a razor. That suits round, wide food: potatoes, apples, butternut squash and big carrots.
Style Y peeler
How to use it
Hold the beech handle and set the blade flat against the skin at the far end of the vegetable.
Draw the blade down the length in one stroke. It swivels to follow the curve, so the strip stays thin.
Wash it by hand, dry the beech handle and hang it from the hole in the end.
Close up
Stainless steel, spanning most of the 8.5 cm head, on a pivot. It tilts to follow the curve of a potato so the strip stays even.
The flared head holds both ends of the blade and gives your thumb something to brace against.
Light wood with a rounded end. About 50 g in total, so a whole bag of potatoes is not tiring.
A slot through the end of the handle for a hook or a utensil rail.

Both are on this page and cost about the same. Most kitchens end up with one of each.

The Y is easier on round, wide things like potatoes and apples because you pull it towards you. The straight one suits long, thin vegetables like carrots and cucumbers.
Wash it by hand. The handle is beech, and wood that sits wet in a dishwasher can crack and fade.
Yes. The blade is centred on the handle and swivels both ways, so it works the same in either hand.
The wide blade is good for courgette or carrot ribbons. Lay the vegetable flat on a board and pull along its length, pressing lightly.
No guard is included. Store it hanging up or in a drawer slot so the blade does not rub against other tools.

Peeling marrow and courgette from the allotment takes no time now. A good bit of kit for a big harvest. Every August I'm swamped with courgettes and marrows, and there's a lot of peeling. It was a real job with the old peeler. This takes thin strips and finishes the pile before the kettle has boiled.

Peeled eight Bramleys for a crumble in about five minutes, and the peel came off so thin I barely lost any apple. Very pleased.

I only cook for myself and a decent peeler makes the whole weeknight routine easier. I cook for myself most nights, so I don't want faff. Three potatoes, two carrots, a quick pull each, and dinner is on. I rinse it, dry the handle and hang it back up.

We get through a lot of potatoes in this house, roast dinner every Sunday and mash most weeks. My old peeler took half the potato off with the skin. This one takes a really thin strip and the blade swivels round the lumpy bits so you lose hardly anything. Did a full bag of Maris Pipers in about ten minutes. The beech handle is much nicer to hold than plastic too.

Good, solid, simple peeler.

Lives on the hook by the stove and gets used daily.

My mom has arthritis in her hands and was struggling with her old peeler, the thin metal kind that digs into your palm. The beech handle on this one is wider and she says it's much easier to hold. Since you pull it towards you she doesn't have to grip as hard either. She did a whole bag of apples for applesauce last weekend and called me to brag about it.

Peeled a sack of potatoes for a family gathering. Hands did not ache at the end, which is a first. My old peeler was blunt and I'd have been there for an hour. This one went through the lot in about twenty minutes and nobody needed a break.

The strips are really thin. I peel apples for a pie and still have a lot of apple.

Solid peeler. There's a short learning curve with the pull towards you motion, but after a couple of days of meal prep it felt natural. Eggplant and potatoes are a breeze now.
