A vegetable peeler is a kitchen tool designed to remove the skin or outer layer of various vegetables and fruits. It typically features a sharp, stainless steel blade attached to a handle, allowing the user to efficiently peel the skin away while leaving the flesh intact. There are two main types of vegetable peelers: the swivel peeler, where the blade moves with the contours of the vegetable, and the Y-peeler, which has a horizontal blade and a Y-shaped handle for better control. Vegetable peelers are commonly used for items like potatoes, carrots, cucumbers, and apples, providing a smooth, even peel with minimal waste. The handle is often ergonomically designed for comfort and ease of use.
