Slice Y-Peeler, Designed by Karim Rashid, Ceramic Blade Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this peeler because I had a ceramic peeler (purchased at A&P) that I loved but that broke.I was hoping for a more durable one.I'm not sure yet how durable this one is, because I haven't yet used it more than once.Butit is NOT a good peeler.You would think they would have tested the design before manufacture, but either they didn't or they didn't care.If you look at the picture, you see that the blade is held inside a kind of cylindrical shell, which shell has a pointed protrusion, apparently for removing "eyes" from potatoes.The difficulty is, that the protrusion, and even the shell itself, constantly hit the item you are peeling before the blade does, and in fact they PREVENT the blade from touching the potato or other item at most slicing angles, so that the peeler only words if you hold it at a specific angle to the vegetable and pull in a specific direction.The blade itself may be OK, but there was much too much work involved in getting the vegetable peeled.Ceramic peelers in general seem to hold an edge longer than the metal ones, but try a different style.This one's a bust.

Before you give up on peeling all together, try Slice Y-Peeler. The ultra-sharp, high tech ceramic blade (yes ceramic) will make a good impression on any self-respecting potato (or cabbage, carrot or cucumber). Lightweight ceramics and ergonomic non-slip design mean plenty of energy left to peel peaches for cobbler. Y-Peeler's ceramic blade means it's light, clean and fun to use. And, if you loathe the taste of metal in your food, your prayers are answered. Y-Peelers ceramic blade leaves no after-taste or smell, won't brown food, and stays razor sharp long after other peelers with metal blades are history. Plus, it has an ergonomic and stylish design. It's simply incredible. The Y-Peeler was created for Slice by famed designer Karim Rashid. Karim's work has been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the British Design museum in London. A portion of the purchase price of the Slice Y-Peeler is donated to fund Autism research.
