Awesome little tool August 25, 2008

This little gadget does all that it claims. I have peeled ripe tomatoes and ripe peaches. The skins came off with very little effort. It is one of my better buys.
An excellent tool at a low pricer July 27, 2008

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.
Serrated great! June 21, 2008

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.
Good Grips in more than one way. February 8, 2008

I didn't think you could peel things like peppers and tomatoes without blanching or apples without wasting half the fruit but you can with this one. Wish I had bought it years ago.
 Very good for what it is but use with caution. July 26, 2007

I like using this to peel kiwi fruit. It gives a nice clean peeling to the fruit. A regular paring knife will take too much of the skin hence too much of the flesh. But you must be careful with it, I once cut the tip of my pointer finger while peeling the kiwi fruit and it was quite painful. The serrated blades are very, very sharp. Another negative about this peeler is that the skin of the kiwi fruit got stuck on the teeth of the blades and I had to manually pluck out the skin. I think this slows down the rhythm and thus the efficiency of the peeler. My experience is that if you peel "slippery" fruit or vegetable like kiwi or tomato, you must be very careful that the fruit does not slip out of your hand when you use this peeler or you might risk injuring yourself just like I did. I usually cradle the fruit in paper towel to prevent from slippage and peel with extra caution.
