I hire soldiers from the 1950s to peel my potatoes.

a peeler isnt a lifetime purchase
you use it alot and it gets dull then you buy a new one
the one you pictured usually works great. its cheap, cuts good and you can abuse it then throw it out.
i get a few years use out of one of those and to me they work better than any "fancy" one

>>7390429
Whats that little button in the middle for?

>>7390410
Most of the guys from those days are too shaky to peel anymore. At least around here. Many also are missing the required fingers sadly or I would definitely just source the labor.

>>7390435

popping out the blade most likely

>>7390433
I guess but my mom has a peeler that she has owned since before I was born and it still peels awesome. It's a straight swivel and all the straight swivels I can find seem to be incredibly poorly reviewed as falling apart or being dull etc.
>>7390435
No idea. It's a Google image

>>7390435
the blade retracts into the peeler.

peelers are much better at peeling than knives

>>7390480
If you suck at knives, maybe

>>7390481
Implying a tool designed for one specific purpose can be outdone by a tool that has not. I mean I'll julienne with my knife because it's something I don't do every day. But I use a peeler every single day. It just makes sense to have an efficient tool for the job.

>>7390481
Peelers are better than knives despite your pride in suck appeal.

>>7390388
So getting back to the point...swivel or fixed for straight peelers? Fixed is easier for eye removal I would guess since the swivels have a tendency to...swivel. The internet seems to say that the swivel helps but whenever I use mine it just locks back to one position anyway...are swivel peelers just a meme? I mean it's the gap between blades that determines the cutting depth anyway right?

no

peelers are better than knives at peeling

they make it a lot easier and consequently a lot faster

but velcro is worse than laces for the purpose of securing your shoes, you moron.

Exactly

I know you're looking for straight peelers, but seriously consider a titan
Bought it for the vegetable noodle cutter it comes with because I wanted to try zucchini noodles, but I forgot about it almost immediately and kept using the peeler.

I can peel a potato in 7 seconds. Being able to move the peeler back and forth is something you can never go back to being without.

>>7390568
Except a peeler is much better than a knife

>>7390579
If you can't even tie your own shoelaces, shortbus

>>7390595
Looks like you lost this argument.

>I walk to work instead of using those fancy shmancy car things.

Update yourself

>>7390617
Why would I use a car when I live 3 blocks from work?
>>7390604
Stick to counting to potato, because you certainly can't peel them

>>7390626
How's it feel to be a loser? Do you enjoy being a loser?

>>7390637
How does it feel you can't even manage the most basic of cooking tasks without buying a slap-chop, a peeler, a garlic press, etc?

>>7390574

i use these, they're pretty alright. i like the to use the one on the right to julienne carrots for salads

>>7390643
Such a sad loser.

>>7390658
>I can't handle being wrong so I'm just going to cry now

>>7390574
>>7390651
That's odd...I hated using those tools. Most specially the julienne aspect because it was almost impossible to clean properly.

>>7390667
Loser is lashing out now

>>7390669

I find that the peelers like the one in the pic with the blade in the middle are the best.

I never peel anything. Even things that are meant to end up in a smooth consistency are not hurt overmuch by a bit of peel.

Obviously I'm only talking about edible peel, but peelers aren't useful for removing inedible peels anyway.
