Peeler
This article is about
kitchenware. For the
British constables, see
Policing in the United Kingdom. A potato peeler is a metal blade attached to a metal, plastic or wooden handle that is used for peeling vegetables, frequently
potatoes.There are three main varieties, the 'Yorkshire' (or sometimes called a
Lancashire peeler) design involving the blade as an extension of a handle, in much the same way as the blade is attached to a
knife. Its use involves grasping the potato in one's left
hand and holding the peeler in the
fingers of the right hand and the top of the potato with the
thumb of the right hand. The action then involves using the fingers of the right hand to pull the peeler's blade over the skin of the potato, turning it slightly so that it digs in and removes the potato skin, in a movement towards the right thumb. This also uses the grip of the right thumb to allow the movement of the fingers of the right hand to be based on the contraction of the right hand in a claw movement which is easier to accomplish than if the movement of the right fingers were to be controlled by the right
arm or
wrist.
