Review on Ultimate 6-Piece Kitchen Food Peeler Set: Magic Trio Vegetable Peelers, Stainless Steel Spiral Slicer, Manual Shredder, and Brush! by Kat Hernandez

Revainrating 2 out of 5

These are good knives only if you've never used good knives before

They are thin and not as sharp as expected. They require more effort than the aging oxo knife I was hoping to replace. They also have this little detail inside that doesn't allow the blades to actually rotate, so they can't adjust to slight changes in the potato's texture. The only way to make them sharp is with prongs, otherwise they won't have an edge. I'm also concerned that the handles will break during use and the plastic will become sharp if it tears, hence a safety hazard. And while some review videos show good work with pumpkin or yams, in real life they've failed utterly with Jicama, which doesn't bode well for anything else with a fibrous surface. Since they're serrated, they can come in handy on the few occasions when I really need a serrated knife. (Sorry, Jacques Pepin, no one actually peels peppers and tomatoes.) However, I'll probably just buy an oxo peeler like I should have. Take it from a real chef - don't believe the good reviews from non-chefs even though the videos are impressive.

Pros
  • SAVE TIME: Our stainless steel knife set can be used to peel various types of vegetables and fruits, which can save you a lot of time when preparing dinner
Cons
  • Not the best
