Egluntyne Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I bought one of these Titan Peeler on the recommendation of a friend. It is amazing. I peeled a butternut squash with it a few minutes ago, and it look me about a minute. Normally I would have quite a struggle. It is very sharp indeed.

LisaP Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I've got one too, they really are brilliant and certainly make light work of a butternut DD went off to Uni fully equipped with one too and is often asked by her flatmates if they can borrow it Lisa P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Ok,sold. Where do you get them from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaP Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I don't know which high street shops have them, I got mine for £3.99 at the "cheapy shop" in our town centre but I know they have them on Amazon for a similar price.

Egluntyne Posted February 13, 2012 Author Share Posted February 13, 2012 I got mine from Amazon. The twin pack with the Julienne cutter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan08 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I think I might have a look too. Always very sceptical about these things, but if it does a butternut squash with ease will have to check it. Thanks for the tip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chook n Boo Mum Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 What a good idea, DD is starting to get interested in the kitchen, but knives scare me with her at the helm.....this could be the answer for slicing, thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Anything that makes a butternut squash easier to peel is on my shopping list! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfer_chicken Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 A word of warning: We have one of these, my dad strode in one day after being sold it at the supermarket and took over peeling the carrots. Mid-speech about how amazing it was he cut himself very nastily. I have since cut myself on it as well and I'm a little scared of it tbh They are very good if you're careful though!

superkitty Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Mine has just arrived...and it doesn't have any instructions. I am a bit of a dunce with kitchen equipment but will have a (careful) experiment with the two metal peeler thingies to see what they do - but can someone shed some light on what the blue plastic thing with the point on one end is for?!

Egluntyne Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 If you look at the link I posted, it shows you. It is to turn it into a mini mandolin slicer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superkitty Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 sorry! Will go have a look now. Am thinking that's not a musical instrument....although could do with some entertainment in the kitchen. I have a feeling my kitchen education is about to be expanded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riane Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Oh yes got to have one of those. Love a kitchen gadget! I am assuming everybody still has all their fingers and can type peeling progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superkitty Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Yes...but I am being very careful with them. They are pretty impressive so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrocksrock Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 My bodum one does the same job and it peels it beautifully - no cuts on me either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riane Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Oh dear used it first time to peel apples and the blade split! Not too impressed I have to say! However it is sharp and I can see it would work well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I have a Victorinox peeler that is angled to fit into the palm of your hand and it makes peeling potaoes so fast, I do take the odd fingernail off with it from time to time, but when peeling spuds for 5 it makes very short work of the job. It has a metal blade but is still really sharp after 8 years or so of use. A friend bought us a ceramic peeler about 5 years ago and although it was ultra sharp the blade got broken within a couple of weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seagazer Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I bought one of these at a camping and caravanning show a few weeks back. There was a chap demonstrating and I had a go at peeling a squash and it was so much easier than my normal peeler. That said I haven't used it yet.

sadietoo Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I have one of these.... We bought it at a homes and gardens exhibition about 15 years ago...it's still as sharp as it was when new and is absolutely brilliant...even for Butternut Squash.... http://www.cutco.co.uk/html/product.php?code=1501 It's my favourite piece of kitchen equipment because it does exactly what you need it to with no fuss....
