However, if you wanted to use the straight blade peeler instead of the serrated blade, you had to hold it upside down, which felt hazardous and awkward. The 4-in-1 Müeller Y-peeler boasted a corn stripper on the back which worked nicely. Ceramic can be a great material in the kitchen, but when it comes to peelers, no thanks. We also found that ceramic blades go dull faster than their stainless steel counter parts. They were unable to make long, swift cuts on hard cheeses or tougher vegetables, like butternut squash. We recommend sticking with stainless steel blades for your peeler: The Kyocera Ceramic Peelers were some of the worst performers in all of our tests. Ultimately, the Kuhn Rikon won out over these also-great peelers because of what we know about its long-term ability to retain sharpness. They have comfortable handles, are easy to clean, and come in a set with a straight, serrated, and julienne blade. The palm potato peeler, a style in which the blade is under a disk and the cook's finger is placed through a loop at the top, is capable of peeling, yes, but the design is awkward and feels strange in the hand. The peelers we considered the most comfortable were relatively lightweight, but more importantly, had easy-to-grip, ergonomic handles. This means less of the guide’s surface comes in contact with the food, allowing the peeler to glide along more easily. Top-performing peelers have a raised ridge along the front of the guiding blade. This again depends on the second guiding blade.
Here we looked at how easily the blade glided along the fruit or vegetable’s surface. The function of the second blade is to guide the first one along-not to cut into the flesh of the vegetable. Performance in this area depends on the position of both blades in relation to each other and how well the peeler rotates. We were looking for a peeler that made shallow cuts to prevent waste and make zesting easy.
