The Best Vegetable Peeler Is the Swiss Kuhn Rikon

June 09,2024

Normally, when you peel something, you always think, I wish this were easier. You don’t know how bad you have had it until you have something good..
“You can’t really go wrong with an OXO peeler. The one I have has lasted basically forever; its blade is still sharp; and the handle is still satisfyingly hefty and soft in the way all OXO stuff is. Personally, I go for the side-mounted version over the Y-peeler shape because I like the added leverage, but it seems like a matter of preference, really.” — Grub Street editorial director Alan Sytsma .
Good Cook’s safe-cut can opener doesn’t function in the usual manner (cutting into a can’s sunken top). Instead, the blades work their way around the outer sides, a few millimeters below the rim, separating the entire top in a clean swoop. Unlike the traditional two-arm pinch, this one doesn’t come with a bottle opener tacked on, but its minimalist design (a single blade attached to one long, slim handle) takes up only about four inches of drawer space.
