![]() Buying for a peeler made from higher-quality stainless steel will ensure you get years of use out of your peeler before the rust starts to show-citrus will corrode metal over time, so choosing a citrus peeler made with higher-end steel will ensure the blade is more resistant to citric acid. One common thing with peelers is that they will all rust eventually. If that’s going to bug you, opt for a peeler that can be tossed in the dishwasher after use. Meaning, you have to carefully pull out the bits of rind and skin that build up in the peeler by hand. The majority of peelers on this list are not dishwasher safe. For the home bartender, OXO Good Grips’s Y Peeler ( view at Amazon) boasts a comfy handle and durable blade that makes it a workhorse peeler. You can choose your own adventure with color and they're also cheap to replace, ergonomic and very effective.” Note you do have to wash these by hand.įor bartenders, Kuhn Rikon’s Y ( view at Amazon) peeler checks off a lot of boxes with an incredibly sharp blade and an affordable price tag. “They are the best citrus peelers, without question. Scott Baird, the owner of Zeppelin Nashville, swears by this set of Kuhn Rikon blades. The set of three comes with red, green, and yellow options. These low-cost options are made with carbon steel blades and an ergonomic design built for both left and right hands. Kuhn Rikon is universally loved by bartenders for the sharpness and affordability of their peelers. Buy a five-pack and be set for the year!” Don’t buy a nice one that you have to maintain unless you plan to keep it for in-home use only. They will get a lot of use so I’ve found it’s better to think of them like disposable razors. “They’re sharp out of the box and very inexpensive, making them easy to replace as time passes. “Y style peelers have always worked for me,” describes Gregory Diamond, a bartender at the Four Seasons in Scottsdale. View On Amazon View On Williams-Sonoma View On ![]() I buy a couple of these bad boys every year and they last a long time and stay sharp (if they're not left in water)-it’s even worth it even if you did have to replace them annually (or more).”Īll in all, she notes “Kuhn Rikon’s Y peelers provide perfectly straight, thin pithless citrus peels and offer lightweight maneuverability, for a fraction of what bigger, clunkier, high-end peelers cost.” She continues, “at a few dollars per one, they’re easily replaceable-remember the blade will eventually get rusty, especially if it’s left sitting in water. Not to mention the fact that they're small, lightweight, and easily fit in any size hand and thus lessen the likelihood that you knick your knuckle when moving quickly.” “There are so many reasons to like them: they are inexpensive and there’s minimal pith left when peeling citrus due to the shape and angle of the blade. Thanks Nick, the oranges are lovely and sweet and very juicy.“When it comes to peelers, the very inexpensive Kuhn Rikon Original Swiss Y-peelers are the best thing you can have behind your bar,” says Hartranft. Our friend Nick was kind enough to share a big bag of oranges with us the other day and I have been trying to get a few shots to show you the orange peeler in action but I have not been very successful. They work very well and if I could, I would send all of you one as a gift. It’s the strangest looking implement and I will not be without the two that live in my third drawer in the kitchen. □Īnyhoo, one of the most nifty little gadgets that Tupperware make is an orange peeler. Most of the cupboards in our home have Tupperware in them, storing all sorts and keeping things neat and tidy – I do draw the line at the garage though as Pete happily drains engine oil and the likes into them so we save ice cream containers for that. I wonder if there is a Tupperware support group for people like me? I have to resist the urge buying more and a good motivator is it has got frightfully expensive. ![]() ![]() ![]() It is safe to say I LOVE Tupperware and probably own enough for 2 families with a few spares on the side. ![]()
