Kuhn Rikon Julienne Peeler with Blade Protector, Stainless Steel Handle

I can't say enough good things about this julienne peeler. I first bought an Oxo julienne peeler, and it was really a piece of junk. I used it twice and saw that it was steadily going downhill from the first use (the little tines started bending right at the first usage when only julienning a carrot!), so I returned it right away. I had remembered seeing this much more expensive Kuhn Rikon julienne peeler with much better reviews and decided to give it a chance. Oh my goodness, the difference is amazing. It performs so much better, and I've now used it several times and the tines have not moved a bit out of position. I love the nice all-over stainless steel design. Very functional, beautiful, and looks like it will be very durable also. WELL WORTH the extra money! Oh, I almost forgot to mention, I also used it on zucchini and didn't have any trouble. I took a little bit lighter approach to the zucchini than I would with a carrot since it is a softer vegetable. The way I avoid hurting my fingers is to lay the vegetable on the cutting board and spear one end with a fork. Hold the vegetable by the fork and then julienne away!

Now, to be perfectly frank, I like this peeler. However, it does merit a little extra finger watching when using. I won't call myself an expert cook by any means, but I know my way around a kitchen.

Using this peeler I've managed to cut myself quite a few times. It's not for lack care it just slips sometimes and the sharp, knife-like tines that make the julienne cuts very easily can slide and julienne your fingers or the area between thumb and forefinger.

Again, it's a good piece to have in the kitchen. It just merits a little care in its use.

I julienne lots of carrots so this works great! Seems like there's a bit of a trick to using it w/o having a clump on bottom where all the julienne pieces stick. It depends on how you use it. I was able to mess around with it and get julienne strips no problem. Recommended purchase, am buying several more for family members.

Nice sturdy peeler. Very sharp. It looks like it would last for years to come. The only down size is the Julienne size is a little too thin for Thai papaya salad. I had to return this and got the Kiwi Pro Slice Peeler (perfect size for papaya salad). I found the Kiwi peeler at a local Asian supermarket for 3 bucks.

I love julienned veges, but when dealing with just one carrot (eg for garnish) it seems a tad excessive to assemble a mandoline then do the cleanup (let alone pull out the food processor). This little gadget solves that problem perfectly. I've found the best way with carrots is to peel and trim both ends, then julienne one half of the carrot (working middle to end, rotating a quarter every cut), until you end up with a thin scrawny core attached to the rest of the carrot, which then becomes the handle to julienne the other half of the carrot. I end up discarding the core no real tragedy there since the core is usually a little bitter (and if not, hey, I'll just eat it).
