A little off-topic but... Where can I get a really good potato peeler? One that you have tried and know to be good. I want the sort that you scrape away from you - like a "Y" shape with the blade across the top. I've tried so many but the higher priced ones seem only to have fancier handles, and no difference in the blade than the cheaper ones, and they all go blunt so quickly. Thanks for any help.

Get one from a kitchen shop, according to friends the cheap ones don't last. I paid about $9 years ago for an all metal one when they they first came on the market and it's still as good as new.

Chefn Palm peeler - I have one myself and it is brilliant. Slips onto your middle minger - push on as far as it will go and it sits into your palm. You peel away from yourself, it works well for left or right hand and you dont get any wrist strain as you can with some others.

Now have a metal one which is really good, and I'll also try the palm-held one soon. Thanks for replies.

I have an OXO brand one which even does pumpkin peel easily - got it from Farmers when they had one of their half price sale days. Works great

We have zyliss ones at the restaurant and they are absolutely sharp. I find serated blade ones are very sharp. Be careful because it can take the skin off you finger.

I use one of this:

No idea what is it called. Basically its like those Y peeler except its a bigger blade ranging from 8cm-15cm and you work it back to front...compared to the Y peeler where you peel the potato front to back. Works perfectly for me. . I used it to make choc savings and sometimes on cheese.
