I caved..

I got it today.
I actually got two peelers in the box. One regular peeler and the thing to turn it into a mandoline. There was also a second peeler in the box that was a little bigger than the other. The second peeler was the one to do julienne style. That one got clogged when I was using it on a carrot. It came with a little garnishing booklet. All in all Im happy with them. I really like the peeler. It does work when you slide it backwards and forwards on the veggie but I'll stick with using it in one direction. I used it on a carrot, potato and apple. Works wonderfully. The mandoline thing is just a piece of plastic I will never use. I have a couple of mandolines already. I got them both for like $14.95.

I haven’t seen this before but I hope you like it. I looked it up too because I wasn’t sure what it was and I found pages upon pages of complaints. Good luck with yours.

I work with a woman who bought kenoshi foot pads. Don’t waste your money on that one. I have to admit I did tease her just a little.

I am the worst gadget junky ever.
I had wanted a peeler like this for ages but everyone I found around here was plastic junk. I have heard those foot pads were junk lol.

You didn't try to peel the bark off a tree with it yet, Did you? Lol.
I'm glad you received your order so fast and you like how it works.

[jglass]

No I skipped the bark lol.

I just have an Oxo Good Grip Peeler. It's just a straight peeler. I guess you could say I caved years ago when I bought it. I grew up using a parring knife.
I have seen some peelers that have ceramic cutters. I have always wondered how anything ceramic would hold up as far as sharpness goes. I know that ceramic material is harder than steel.

I have just the regular steel potato peelers, they came in a 2 pk. I bought them at Target. This year I bought a japanese chopping knife for veggies, it has a nice handle on it. I have a small paring knife, it's small (pink) just for fruit.

I like gadgets to, I did see the peeler on TV you bought and it could peel the bark of trees lol. It looked like a really Good peeler. Cookie

So far Im very happy with it. I used it yesterday to peel six big russet potatoes. Makes quick work out of apples. I have always used a paring knife in the past for peeling.
