OXOGood Grips Julienne Peeler

Okay, here's the deal, I like carrots, and I like to work them into my mealsin a convenient non intrusive way. Ie.. a lot of carrot in little tiny shreds.I can use a Nakari knife and work them down, but GEEZ takes too long! (Carrots are dang well tough)So I went on quest of sorts, how many times could I make UPS show up at my house within the same week; lol, and this was one of the products I tried of four.MIU France Stainless Steel Swiss Peeler, Julienne Bladehttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004ISKZYQ/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1Ultra Sharp Julienne Peeler & Vegetable Peeler - Precision Kitchenwarehttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FF75XG4/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1&Brieftons Spiral Slicer (I used and left a review of this product)http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CBVCVLM/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1Now, this is the SECOND product I have used, in my attempt to get carrots into shreds. Ultra Sharp above and MIU France I still have in the packaging. I am going to keep them around just in case.Anyways, this oxo worked so well, I actually smiled when I first used it, especially after my frustrating nightmare experience with that Spiral Slicer. The oxo Julienne peeler has worked as intended, I didn't apply much pressure at all, the blade was really sharp and dug into the carrot, going long ways obviously, with no issues what so ever, and it shredded what I sliced with no issues. Now because of the way things work.. the very top tip portion that I cut off the carrot, was not shredded, but it was a very small section and actually worked in my favor. Little carrot strands didn't end up everywhere.I had tried a regular Oxo peeler in the past on whim, and I've had it for years now literally, and its always worked great, so that led me to give this product a shot. And it didn't disappoint. (Another reviewer mentioned how companies would change manufactures/suppliers, so keep this in mind)One thing I wanted to mention that you might want to be on guard about, are the teeth for this food tool are very thin. They are about 8th of an inch distance wide.STRONG ADVICE: So like a knife you that was sharp and you wanted to keep it that way, you need to clear a space out in your kitchen somewhere for this tool, because I can only imagine if you bent the teeth on this thing or dull it by abuse, that'll be all she wrote on functional tool. And it looks like it would be easy to do. So just a heads up.

Excellent quality peeler. I bought it for the shredding feature so that I could make Asian coleslaw much easier. Works great!

I didn’t know what’s to make of this product initially, but I had 2 mandolin-like products that can slice and julienne vegetables in varying ways. One of those actually chopped off 1/5” piece of my index finger. 2nd time, a deep cut because the product used to hold down vegetable kept slipping off. I was afraid of the same thing happening, but I didn’t!! Its so awesome and it has a nice grip. Simple and easy to use right out of the box. Cleaning it is so much easier too and less hassle. The only thing is you can’t cut down the vegetable all the way to the core so you have to angle it to get most of it. Pretty awesome tool and would recommended if friends.

Weird tool but works great for carrots and potatoes when making soup.

I do lots of salads at my house and I've been looking for a quicker solution for cutting veggies in a julienne cut. I tried this on carrots, cucumbers, and zucchini and it worked very well leaving little waste. I did try this on a lemon (to see if I could get a strip for a cocktail) and it 100% did not work, I cut my hand lol. Only use on firm veggies! Make sure you grip the veggie and pull away from you for safety. I wouldn't recommend children use this tool, it's tricky for little ones. Pretty easy to clean and this definitely saves me time in the kitchen. Much safer than a mandoline slicer and wayyy cheaper/easier than a food processor. Overall, I highly recommend it!

I really wanted to like this thing but it’s not happening. It’s certainly sharp, and it has a protective cover, but the blade still keeps poking my fingers as I am getting ready to use it. Vegetables keep getting stick under the blade (and as I pull them out I get poked again). By the time I’m done with a carrot I’m cursing and my hands are bleeding from multiple wounds. It cuts very thin juliennes. It works alright with carrots and daikon radishes, not so much for potatoes or beets (or anything round where you’d need to hold the vegetable in your hand while peeling).

This is really easy to use and it cuts very nice strips. I was hoping for slightly thicker strips (for matchstick carrots), but these are really good. I was not planning to use it for zucchini, but it makes great zoodles (and you can easily skip using the center of the zucchini that doesn't make good noodles). Better than anything I've gotten from a spiralizer. In fact, it makes such nice zoodles that I gave away my spiralizer. Some reviews mentioned hurting themselves on sharp edge, but I've used it a lot in the few weeks since I got it and haven't had any problem. I do keep the safety guard in place - especially when I put it away.

It does an amazing job!extremely sharp though,so handle it carefully.
