Kyocera Ceramic Y Peeler, Black

A Y peeler holds its blade across the end of the handle, so each stroke pulls toward you in a wide, even strip. That makes the Kyocera Ceramic Y Peeler a good match for a sack of potatoes or a pile of carrots, and Kyocera recommends it for any repetitive peeling task. The same pull stroke shaves zucchini into ribbons for a salad and curls a block of chocolate or hard cheese. It also takes the zest from a lemon, lime or orange to garnish cocktails, and shaves frozen butter thin enough to spread easily on breakfast toast.

Kyocera says the zirconia ceramic blade can hold an edge up to ten times as long as steel. Ceramic will not rust or turn cut apples brown, and the non-slip handle helps control each stroke.

Customers ask us whether this ceramic peeler can go in the dishwasher. Kyocera lists it as dishwasher safe, so a trip through the rack after peeling is fine.

Y Peeler or Vertical Peeler?

A Y peeler covers wide, flat surfaces quickly. The Vertical Double-Edge Ceramic Peeler peels in both directions and has an eye corer for potatoes. This Y peeler also comes in red.
