Potato Peeler

A peeler (vegetable scraper) is a kitchen tool, a distinct type of kitchen knife, consisting of a metal blade with a slot with a sharp edge attached to a handle, used to remove the outer layer (the "skin" or "peel") of some vegetables such as potatoes, broccoli stalks, and carrots, and fruits such as apples and pears.Either a swivel or Lancashire peeler for small to medium potatoes or a Y-peeler for large potatoes. Are Y-peelers more comfortable than swivel peelers? Y-peelers have a wider handle compared to most swivel peelers, which means you can hold and use the peeler with a lighter grip, and this can be more comfortable.
