A ceramic peeler stays sharp much longer, so every pass is thin and smooth, from the first potato to the last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis one has a white ceramic blade set across a black Y-shaped handle, about 13 cm (5.1 in) long and 7.5 cm (3 in) wide at the top, with a hole at the end for hanging. The Y shape lets you pull the blade toward you in long strokes, which is easier on your wrist than a straight peeler. \u003cstrong\u003eA thin, clean peel that stays sharp, batch after batch.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs a ceramic peeler better than steel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach has a strength. A ceramic vegetable peeler holds its edge a long time and won't rust or leave a metallic taste on apples and pears. A steel blade is tougher and handles a hard knock better. If you peel a lot and want a blade that stays sharp, go ceramic. If the peeler lives in a drawer full of heavy tools, steel is more forgiving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to choose a peeler\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eY peeler or straight:\u003c\/strong\u003e a Y shape is better for long vegetables like carrots and cucumbers.
