About THE potato peeler

A rather long but interesting article.

Brilliant! But I have to say, the hand held can opener is the worst! I love every other product I have used from, though.

PSA: if you have the twin blade peeler, spin the veg quickly and go up and down…. This way you use both sides of the blades and the peeler lasts longer. You’re welcome.

Bkhuna The OXO can opener you have, is it a battery operated one similar to this? I just bought this one and love it! I’ve quit using my electric can opener too.

I agree about the oxo hand-held can opener. We have one, and it's usually an exercise in frustration. We have an electric kitchen-aid, had it for years. Does the job, didn't cost a lot, and generally works fine. The only reason the oxo hasn't been tossed, is if the electric is ever out and I'm hungry for something in a can, lol.

Panhead John Mine is just the manual OXO. https://www.oxo.com/smooth-edge-can-opener-437.html

It's fine for the very few times we need it and it can be tossed into our hurricane bug out supplies if need be.

Gotta say, when I saw the title my first reaction was…🙄 potato peeler? Anyway, after reading the article I was impressed with their attention to detail on some rather mundane products. Good article and almost everything from OXO that I’ve bought has been an excellent product…..I have their potato peeler and it works great, very sharp!
