Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OXO Good Grips Serrated Peeler
Customer Review: An excellent tool at a low pricer
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of those simple tools that one takes for granted until the realization comes that small changes make big differences. I'm just ordering my second one now, the first having served a long and honorable career. The addition of very fine serrations to the edges on this peeler greatly improves its performance with thin-skinned or juicy products like tomatoes, peaches, mangoes, kiwi, and the like. Practice with it until your peeling stroke begins with the slightest sideways slide...it only takes a little...and you can make fast work of an otherwise messy and tedious job. If, as one reviewer noted, you have trouble with peel sticking between the blades, try tapering your peeling stroke as it comes to an end. This will cause the peel to taper to a point and fall cleanly from the blade. It just takes a little practice.
If I had a bushel of fruit to peel, I'd still opt for a razor-sharp paring knife. But for normal household quantities, or if your skill with a small knife is not all it could be, this is a great addition to the kitchen gadget drawer.
Customer Review: Serrated great!
Summary: 5 Stars
So, I've had my share of peelers in my short, 52 year life. I'm not a chef, but a man who likes to cook. I like my gadgets, too. This is one of those things that I don't know how I did without for so long.
Somewhere along the way, I got roped into the Y-peelers. Don't get me wrong, I love them and they have their good uses, but this serrated straight peeler is the bomb for making carrot spaghetti strips. It's also easy to clean, replace the blade if it goes bad, etc, etc. I don't know why, but Amazon sent me a second one when I recently ordered it and it will find it's way into one of my relatives kitchens. Too bad I have so many relatives and it's hard to decide who would appreciate it most. Probably the bear of a man that married my niece who loves to cook. He probably already has one.
Here's the thing; the serrated blade makes really short work of almost anything you need peeled. It's almost effortless. For under 10 bucks, you can't go wrong.
Customer Review: Much more useful than I expected
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this product because it was recommend on America's Test Kitchen. I didn't expect much, but I was wrong. The serrations do seem to improve the cutting ability of this blade.
I find that I reach for this peeler more frequently than I do my non-serrated peeler. It not only works well on tomatoes, but also on lemons, asparagus, sweet potatoes and butternut squash. I believe that this peeler could function well as the only peeler in a kitchen.
If you need a new peeler, try buying one of these before purchasing a standard peeler. I have been pleasantly surprised at how well this peeler works on both delicate and hard vegetables.
Customer Review: Best peeler ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
Discovered this Oxo serrated peeler quite a long time ago. Hubby got it because he had to help in kitchen occasionally and he didn't like the cheapo peeler I had. This is the only one both of us would use. Had to get a spare one. Recently bought one for my mom after trying to peel potatoes for a big family dinner at her house. (She had an old cheapo, almost useless peeler.) You might not think there could be much difference from one peeler to another, but there definitely is! The Oxo peels with such ease and speed on any thickness and removes just the right amount. Good for novices in the kitchen and the long-time cooks.Customer Review: Greatest Peeler
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm so happy that I was able to find this peeler. Due to liking this peeler so much I carried it to a friends house and it has been lost since then. I've had the orginal peeler for at least 7 years ~ still was a sharp peeler and it's easy on your hand. I've had others that will cause you blisters by using their peeler.
Thanks Oxo for a great product. Going to look in trying your other products.
Very Satisfied
