Potato peeler
A potato peeler is an essential kitchen accessory for anyone who regularly peels potatoes. Unlike other peelers, the potato peeler often has an I-shape, which provides a firmer grip and more control while peeling. This makes it easier to apply more force, which is especially important as the skin of a potato is often tougher than that of vegetables or fruit. Whether you are peeling potatoes for chips, stew or soup, the potato peeler can do it like no other.

Buying a potato peeler
When buying a potato peeler, it is important to look at the shape. It is best to use an I-shaped peeler. With this, you apply controlled force which helps with the tough skin of potatoes, but also with carrots, for example. Often, these types of peelers also have a sharp protrusion that allows you to easily remove potato eyes.
A Y-shaped peeler is also suitable for peeling potatoes but you may find that it is a bit more difficult. These types are made for soft-skinned fruits and vegetables. These peelers also often contain a knife or protrusion that you use to remove potato eyes.
Which material: stainless steel, wood or plastic?
It is also important to consider materials. Will choose a peeler made entirely from stainless steel, a peeler with a wooden handle or a one with a plastic handle? Each material has its advantages and disadvantages.
A big advantage of stainless steel is that it's dishwasher-safe, and peelers made of stainless steel are generally quite robust. This prolongs the service life and improves performance.
Potato peelers with a wooden handle have a classic look. We do recommend washing these peelers with wooden handles by hand, as the dishwasher would deteriorate the wood. The potato peeler with a plastic handle allows you to choose your favourite colour! These peelers are also dishwasher-safe.
