janet45 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Hi all,I try to eat healthy food: different salads, vegetable dishes, etc. I am very interested in some simple recipes and I have decided to buy a peeler.On Amazon, I found two variants:http://www.amazon.com/Deiss-Julienne-Zucchini-Stainless-Shredder/dp/B00LKRZ9Y4/http://www.amazon.com/Kuhn-Rikon-Julienne-Protector-Stainless/dp/B0000CEWJD/As for a girl, I have too big hands, lol, and I'm a little worried that peeler will slide and I can get hurt. This has happened many times with my kitchen knife. I really like this peeler because of rubberised handle:http://www.amazon.com/Deiss-Julienne-Zucchini-Stainless-Shredder/dp/B00LKRZ9Y4/The only thing that confuses me - a small number of reviews.Anybody tried to use one of them? Or please post the one you use that works great.Janet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ultrarunnergirl Posted July 29, 2014 Moderators Share Posted July 29, 2014 I have the second one, the Kuhn Rikon and am very happy with it. However, I really love my Spiralizer. It's just so darn fun to use and makes lovely curly 'noodles'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ShannonM816 Posted July 29, 2014 Moderators Share Posted July 29, 2014 I have this one by Oxo if you really want a non-slip grip. I like it. Of course, it's the only one I've ever used, so not a lot of basis for comparison. But for about $10, and available in-store at Bed Bath & Beyond, it was a good choice for me. I know the reviews of it are mixed, but I've used it on carrots and zucchini multiple times and had no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janet45 Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 Nevertheless, I decided to try peeler from Deiss. I will describe my impressions and peeler's pros and cons after Amazon deliver it. Thank you all for your advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janet45 Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 Hi,I decided to buy two peelers. And after a week of use, I can share my impressions. Please, do not judge strictly, this is my first review Peeler from Joseph Joseph.I LIKE:1. Three blades in one tool.2. Blades are not exposed when stored.3. The original design.4. Simple blades change.I DON'T LIKE1. I don't find the shape comfortable to hold, it is narrow and has insufficient diameter, I think if it had a traditional handle it would have solved some of the issues.2. It becomes slippery during use.3. Peels collect in the blades.4. It is necessary to disassemble for cleaning in the dishwasher.Peeler from Deiss.I LIKE:1. Comfortable non-slip handle. Peeler is simple to control and can be used for a long time without fatigue.2. Very easy to clean. Just substitute under running water.3. Simple and reliable design.4. Extremely sharp.I DON'T LIKE1. Peels collect in the blades.2. It's a bit easier to cut yourself, compared to the round one. Both peelers are great products, with own advantages and disadvantages, but in the last week, I noticed that mostly use peeler from Deiss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbbyQ17 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I have the second one, the Kuhn Rikon and am very happy with it. However, I really love my Spiralizer. It's just so darn fun to use and makes lovely curly 'noodles'. I second this - I bought a spiralizer last fall and absolutely love it. http://www.amazon.com/Paderno-World-Cuisine-A4982799-Tri-Blade/dp/B0007Y9WHQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1407943802&sr=8-1&keywords=paderno+world+cuisine+a4982799+tri-blade+plastic+spiral+vegetable+slicer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
