#Metal vegetable peeler skin#
The theory that it will follow the shape of the surface is flawed - to get it to sink under the skin you have to push and the flimsy construction feels like it were to snap. The wobbly top doesn't allow to put any pressure and instead of cutting into the vegetable, it flips and scrapes it or slides. Better to have something comfortable to hold that has to be replaced a little more often than a nice sharp ceramic blade attached to a handle you hate. But I'd worry first about getting something comfortable to use.
I'd suggest going to a physical store and actually holding them to get an idea of what you like.Ĭeramic vs metal blades is a factor too, of course - ceramic holds the edge better. So your problem may well be solved simply by getting a new, sharper peeler, preferably one with a handle you find comfortable to hold. (Note that it takes more force when it's dull.) You haven't said why you hate your current one, but I'm guessing it's because it's dull, and possibly uncomfortable to grip the handle in order to exert the force you need. (Assuming I understood your description of your current peeler right, anyway.) Which of the two you prefer may be mostly personal preference, though I find that the angle you end up holding your hands at is nicer when you're pushing perpendicular. With that, you pull along the direction of the handle to peel, while with your current one, you push perpendicular to the handle. The difference between that and what you already have is really just the position of the blade with respect to the handle.
