This weekend I tried three peelers from Swissmar Imports Limited, or info@swissmar.com, 1-800 216-3492. The three Swiss stainless steel classic peelers are packaged together.
The first is a serrated peeler and thinly peels delicate fruits and vegetables. I used it on a tomato and kiwi which was terrific. They say it also is good for mangoes and hard cheese and the side cutter removes potato eyes and blemishes and cuts groves in vegetables.
The second peeler is a simple way to have thin julienne sticks in one stroke with carrot, zucchini and more. I tried this on some hard cheese to get some thin strips.
The last peeler thinly peels hard fruits and vegetables like apples, carrots, and potatoes. I tried it on butternut squash and it was great.
After being impressed with the quality of these peelers, I checked out the website, http://www.swissmar.com/. Wow, they have the difficult to find products at reasonable prices. I spotted several Raclette Party Grills. I may have to break down and order one since that has been a favorite dish since I first experienced it in Switzerland.
For those of you who cook and want some easy peelers give these a try. I look forward to hearing your comments.
