The KitchenAid and Rösle all performed well with potatoes, too. We liked the ergonomically designed handle on the Piranha option, which had a slight dip towards the peeler end, giving the hand some extra leverage when moving the blade around a vegetable. Our winning picks, the Kuhn Rikon Original Swiss Peeler and the Kuhn Rikon Piranha Y Peeler, peeled potatoes the cleanest, leaving little to no clean-up needed.

Y-peelers also maneuvered more easily around the potatoes’ nooks and crannies, and had less instances of skin getting stuck inside the blade. On average, the Y-peelers we tested peeled potatoes nearly twice as quickly as the straight swivel competition. Shave Parmesan Cheese Test (Winners-Only): To see how each peeler could peel delicate shavings of parmesan cheese, we used our favorites to remove strips of parmesan, noting how cleanly and easily each peeler was able to slice through the cheese.Peel Butternut Squash Test (Winners-Only): Pitting our leading peelers against a hardy, tougher skin, we peeled one butternut squash per peeler, noting how cleanly the peeler cut through the skin and how sturdy the blade was.We observed and noted how much pith was captured versus peel. Peel Lemon Rind Test: We used each peeler to remove strips of lemon peel from one lemon, trying not to catch pith.We also took note of how easy it was to clean each peeler. We noted how easy the peeler was to grip, how cleanly it peeled the potato, and if there was any resistance. Peel Potatoes Test: To examine the general use of each model and to find out how cleanly and quickly each one peeled a potato, we timed how long it took to peel two large Russet potatoes.
