A friend of ours loves her Palm Peeler for skinning potatoes, mangos and butternut squash.

We prefer our OXO Peeler for most prep jobs but the Palm Peeler definitely has a place in the kitchens of people who can’t grip the handle of a conventional peeler.

The Palm Peeler, which has a soft rubber finger grip, takes a little getting used to because you can’t see the blade in motion. That’s why it’s best for bigger contoured fruits and vegetables rather than, say, skinny carrots.
