Kuhn Rikon Original Swiss Peeler 3-Pack Red/Green/Yellow

Lightweight easy to hold easy to use peels very easily glides right along whatever you’re appealing and does an outstanding job. You don’t have a have to use a lot of strength. The peeler does its job perfectly. They are very sharp, so be careful! It’s comfortable to use and it does its job very well A+!

I saw these on America's Test Kitchen, a great cooking show that tests out kitchen tools among other things. The shocker is that they are so low-cost, and my favorite peeler. I just used one on a fragile-skinned cucumber, and it was like a hot knife through butter! So easy, very little effort to peel very well. Little cucumber got caught in the device, only the peel! The material cleaned well in the dishwasher. I love the way it fit in the palm of my hand, perfect size! The material is durable, yet light and user friendly. I'm buying them for my adult children!

Immediately could tell the quality difference between these and my regular peelers, these things glide through and leave a nice thin peel behind. Handle is a bit small but even in my bigger hands it didn’t feel uncomfortable to use.

I'd heard so many good things about these and they come in some nice bright colors, so decided to get this 3-pack. Aside from being quite flimsy plastic, they are also made of carbon steel and not stainless steel, so they DO rust. We found that out the hard way. Do not put them in the dishwasher (obviously), and when you hand wash them, dry them THOROUGHLY after getting them wet, or expect bits of rust on your food the next time you peel something. We ended up throwing these away and replacing them with peelers from another popular brand (with a palindromic name) which have been outstanding AND are dishwasher safe, AND can be left to air dry. My advice is to either to avoid these, or get a version that is stainless steel....cos these sure ain't.

Sharp and easy to use

I bought this item 3rd time in a few years. One of those 3 times was for a gift. Recently one of the three peelers broke and another one got lost. So I was down to only one. I came back to buy another set. They look practicaly identical, but I found that the new ones are not as good as the older ones were. If the vegetable I peel is not hard (for example asparagus) these new ones will slip and won't peel well. On the harder veggies like carrots and potatoes they work fine, but I still feel a bit of a difference. Overall they do the job and they are still better than many other peelers on the market. And I would still recommend them over other peelers (and I tried A LOT!!!) Their blades are made out of the metal that rusts. They always were like that. That is why they are so sharp and work so well. Because of that specific metal. Because of that do NOT put them in the dishwasher and do not throw them into the sink with your dirty dishes! Because they WILL rust. They are ridiculously easy to clean. Just rinse them after use, dry with papertowel or kitchen towel and put them away. And they will last forever and will not rust. Mine never rusted, but I knew they will if I leave them out in the sink for long enough.

Brand new, the peeler is excellent. I'm looking forward to seeing if it stands the test of time.

I waited for several months before posting a review, since I had read that these peelers have a bad rusting problem. Not that I can see. These are the BEST, ABSOLUTELY BEST peelers that I've ever used, and I'm 70. I was very skeptical at first, particularly given the low cost and seemingly "cheap" design (plastic). I will admit that the first time I used one I wasn't thrilled, but that turned out to be because I was putting as much pressure on it as I had on my former peeler. Once I learned to "lighten up" these peelers have sped through every peeling job I've given them, including peaches. I can't recommend them highly enough, particularly if you're like me and have arthritis in your hands and wrists. I heard about them first in "The Food Lab" by J. Kenji Lopez Alt and, since I found his book such a treasure, I decided to try them. Kenji was right. Regarding the "rust problem" — As I said, I've been using these peelers for months with NO sign of rust. I don't wash them in the dishwasher. (Why would you?) Since fruits and vegetables aren't laden with fat the wash-up is extremely simple. When I'm done peeling I give them a quick rinse under hot water, and dry immediately. They remain as rust-free and sharp (almost dangerously so) as they were the day they arrived. I cannot recommend them highly enough. ADDED on 4/20/18: I've now had these peelers for a little over 2 years. After a while, using them almost daily, I decided to try putting one of them in the dishwasher. I figured that they were cheap enough that even if one was destroyed I could get another. There were NO problems at all with washing these in the dishwasher. I put them in the silverware basket, which is in the bottom rack, and there is no difference that I can discern. All 3 of them are still as sharp as the day I bought them, and without any sign of rust. I'm 72 and I'll probably be able to will these to someone! You simply cannot go wrong with these peelers. UPDATE 7/27/20 I've now had the peelers for 4 years, and regularly wash them in the dishwasher. They're just as sharp as the day I got them. They'll peel anything — including butternut squash. BEST. PEELERS. EVER!

Muy buen producto, cumple su función perfectamente.

I honestly think these are the best peelers in the world. I have tried the fancy heavy ones with big rubber grips, but I always come back to this. It is incredibly light and comfortable to hold, even when peeling a big bag of potatoes. The blade is razor sharp and just glides through everything without getting stuck. It is a simple design, but it works perfectly.

About to order these for the third time. They’ve lasted 4-7 years on previous experience. I just noticed my last remaining is rusty (but still peeling well). If I am cooking at friends/family this is something I always take with me. Care needed - they are sharp.

This is a really simple product, but it is absolutely the best I have ever had. sharp to the point you take extra care not to cut yourself. Other than that it is always helpful to have more than one if you are cooking for several people like in Christmas or if you have help in your kitchen often. I recommend this purchase 100%.

I can never do without these peelers. They are super sharp and durable. They do rust if left to dry so I'd recommend to dry them after washing.
