We love a good Y-peeler and our favorite is the Kuhn Rikon Original Swiss Peeler. It’s lightweight easy to hold and has a sharp carbon steel blade that cleanly peels root vegetables citrus hard cheeses and more.
When Kenji López-Alt published a list of his most essential cookware tools he included a Kuhn Rikon Y-Head Vegetable Peeler. It seemed like a pretty obvious item to me; then again I’ve been working with food for years and I can’t remember the last time I saw a peeler like this in a professional setting. But in the comments some readers weren’t convinced that the Y-Peeler was as good as the straight swivel peelers that most home cooks use.
