What julienne peeler do you recommend?
Comments (10)Darn it! I wish I didn't read the posts when people get or are contemplating getting a new gadget. I just can't help myself and have to get one. Went to Kitchen Collection at the outlet mall and got a inexpensive julienne peeler to try. By the way, I saw Alton Brown using a needler last week to tenderize a round steak. Yep, straight to the KC to find one. They had one similar to the one he used for $9.99. It works like a dream and that steak was super tender. I have no self control!!!

Comments (13)I have a White Mountain one and a real antique one. Both work good so long as your apples are fairly symmetrical, unbruised and firm fleshed. (I bought 3 bushels of Wolf River apples year before last only to learn that Wolfs were too soft to work on the peelers. ugh.) I had a Pampered Chef one but it didn't work very good for me; the White Mountain one worked better. But other people like the PC one; how good they work probably depends a lot on the apples you're working with. Like Lindac mentioned, stay away from the suction cup base in favor of one you can clamp down and make sure that the clamp base will open wide enough to clamp to your counter. Otherwise, you'll have to improvise a way to clamp it down. Probably not a good idea to try clamping to a stone counter. The operation can get pretty messy, esp. if you're doing a lot of apples so you may end up moving peeling outside or to a garage. (If you're processing apples to freeze, a simple dunk in salt water (don't need much salt) prevents the apples from turning dark.)...See MoreWhen You Use Your Vegetable Peeler do You....
Comments (39)I peel towards me with just about all fruits and veggies. The one exception is carrots...I just scrape those. The new age peeler I'm curious about is the "Titanium Peeler" I think it is called. You can run it back and forth, it peels both ways. Anyone heard good or bad about that peeler?

Comments (7)They make a small U-shaped file, same diameter as the blade, that does the trick. I got mine at the local Ace hardware. Or, depending on the brand, you can buy replacement blades for them. Check lehmans.com and I also see replacement blades on ebay for at least 3 different brands although some of the new peeler/corers aren't much more than the blades cost. If all else fails any local tool sharpener or a place that sharpens chainsaw blades should be able to do it as the files used are almost identical. Dave...See Moreplllog
