This tough, durable, 8-inch peeler gets a potato naked for its bath in a jiffy. Cucumber, carrot, and apple peels succumb quickly, too. The swivel blade follows the contours of fruits and vegetables, ensuring that bits of peel don't remain behind. The blade guard's rounded tip digs out potato eyes and other defects.

Oxo's Steel line is an all-stainless-steel variant of the company's familiar fat-handled Good Grips line. Rather than being straight-sided, this tool's handle is tapered from heel to finger grip and has satin-finish, stainless-steel panels top and bottom. The handle's sides feature the same design as those in the Good Grips line-they's made of soft processed rubber for comfort, with "fins," or grooves, that flex under pressure, conforming to individual finger grips and providing control when handles are wet or slippery.
