![]() I peeled -attempted to zest- a navel orange. I think it's the serration that actually makes it feel less sharp - it catches at whatever you're peeling. This is the 2nd sharpest peeler of the 3 I bought. įirst, I have to say that this is the cheapest of the three peelers I bought by $3. Don't know why I can't get to a link for it, but. The Cutting Edge, Firm Grip, Serrated Peeler (Green) - 4 stars I didn't compare it to my older Oxo, but I'd assume it was sharper. It gave the worst peel out of those reviewed here. I'm nervous about taking the cover on and off, but assume it would become easier with use. It's 2-2/8 inches, and comes with a protective cover. The blade itself is substantially longer than all the others (including the old Oxo). ![]() Of the three reviewed here, it has the longest handle by about an inch. The handle is about 1/2 inch longer, and it's shaped to give it a more comfortable grip. It comes with a plastic cover with a small tab to protect yourself from getting cut while it's in your drawer. ![]() the Messermeister's peel is NOT serrated, and is smooth as butter because it's SO sharp! So, in my book, that wins! (even with my daily painful arthritis) Certainly the barrel itself is thinner than the Firm Grip. Yes, it's silicone, but it doesn't seem quite as "grip-y" or the silicone is thinner. The grip isn't quite as comfortable as the Firm Grip. Because of the shape up top (flares out), I'd still like at least another half inch. I was EASILY able to peel just the zest (!) from a navel orange!!! No pith whatsoever!!ĭunno what else there is to say about it that could beat that! :D The handle is about a half inch longer than the Firm Grip. This is my favorite peeler out of my four (including my old dull Oxo). Messermeister Pro Touch Fine Edge Swivel Peeler, Black - 5 stars I'm writing this review for all three peelers, though the amount of stars is correct for the actual description above. The peeler is also available at Surfas in Culver City and at Cookin’ Stuff in Torrance.I've had an Oxo (or 2!) for years, but it finally became clear it was time to replace them before either my girls or I hurt ourselves using dull peelers. Our purchasing agent got a hold of it, peeled a tomato with it, and said, ‘I can’t believe it!’ ”Īlthough a handful of chefs contacted hadn’t heard about the peeler, the gadgets have flown off the shelves at cookware stores such as Sur La Table, which has sold out of them at its Santa Monica and Pasadena stores (more are on the way). The serrated blade, explained Micah Jensen, sales manager for the Ojai-based company, “will tend to grab it and put a slight groove in it. Messermeister designed the gadget to solve the problem of traditional peelers slipping on the skin of waxy vegetables such as cucumbers. (Not that you really need instructions - when you have one in hand, you intuitively know what to do.) The strips of peel come off so nicely you might be moved to twirl them into rose shapes for a garnish. But with the Messermeister version you place the swivel blade on the tomato or peach and pull the peeler toward you, letting the peel fall away in a long strip. With a normal swivel peeler you use an away-from-the-body flicking motion.
