![]() ![]() Oh, and another great side effect of my peeler experiments? Having two squashes ready to be de-seeded and cut up. Rest assured this peeler will get a lot of use and will be a fixture in my kitchen! This Pampered Chef peeler has a permanent home in my drawer, and my old peeler went straight down the trash chute.Ī big thanks to Kelly for sending me such a lovely present, and going out of her way to find a quality peeler after not being able to find the one she really wanted to send me. I probably had this butternut peeled in one quarter of the time it used to take me: It did need more elbow grease than any of the other test subjects, but compared to my prior peeler, this new peeler was a miracle worker. It slid through that delicata like it was butter:īut could it handle a butternut? Butternut skins are tougher and thicker, but (and this was no surprise at this point) my peeler made removing the skin easy. The delicata has a thin skin that you can eat and don’t need to peel off, but what’s the point of experimenting with a new peeler if you don’t peel stuff? The first squash I tackled was the delicata squash ( read this to learn more about delicatas). It was my difficulties with squash peeling that caught Kelly’s attention in the first place, so hopefully this new peeler would make things a whole lot easier. Sweet Potato required the slightest bit of elbow grease, but it was still a vast improvement over my old peeler: This thing makes peeling a snap! I hadn’t even gotten to the tough stuff yet, and I was already falling in love. The peeler effortlessly removed carrot shavings without hesitation: Carrot, who was no match for my new peeler. (Yep, all my produce is male.)įirst up: Mr. I wanted to try out my peeler, so I gathered five test subjects: I know the new peeler means business, because it comes with a blade guard for its serrated blade: So, in its place, she bought a peeler from The Pampered Chef and sent it my way, with the hope that it’s better than the crappy peeler I’m currently using. In it, Kelly mentioned that the peeler she actually wanted to buy me was, as she put it, “the world’s greatest,” but the company that sold it to her a few years ago no longer carries it, and she couldn’t find another online retailer. Inside that third envelope, however, was… Inside that envelope was… another envelope (this one was padded)! Inside the envelope was… another envelope. A few weeks later, she sent a message saying that it was harder to find the peeler than she had thought it would be, but she was working on it. She had noticed that, on a couple occasions (including here and here), I had mentioned how crappy my vegetable peeler was, and she wanted to send me a present – a new vegetable peeler that she loves and thought I’d love, too! What a thoughtful and generous gesture! I gave her an address, and she set out to get the peeler that she wanted to send me. A few months ago, I got a message, via Twitter, from a regular blog reader named Kelly. ![]()
