I’ve never been to a PC party, and it’s the only thing I own from that company, but I am in love with it. I’ve always had trouble with peelers that rotate too easily or those that don’t have enough bite and end up sliding down the veggie instead of peeling it, but this one is perfect. I received mine as a gift after test-driving a friend’s while helping her cook dinner, and I dread having to figure out how to get another one if something happens to this one.

It was invented and patented by my uncle many decades ago, and it is still sharp. He sold the patent to a *major* company and they promptly shelved it. Why produce and sell a superior product which never needs sharpening (or replacing) when you can make repeat sales of an inferior product?

My sister hates the taste of apple peel so I’m sure her peeler gets a lot of work in fall. Butternut squash season is coming soon too, and the easiest way to process that wonderful vegetable is with a sharp knife and, you guessed it, a peeler.

I challenge you to use those old peelers!

I can’t remember the last time I used either one! I just DON’T PEEL stuff. Especially potatoes!!! Stopped doing that years and years ago … after the first time I ate french fries made with the peels left one. :-)
I mainly buy the baby carrots that don’t need peeling, and never peel eggplant … why would you want to?

It is the only peeler I use! NY Times wrote an obituary when he passed… https://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/03/nyregion/03ades.html

At our house we have his and hers peelers, since each of us has a favorite.
