(Part 3) Best graters, peelers & slicers according to redditors

I love the Vidalia Chop Wizard. My mom gave it to me and it's extremely convenient for when I need a lot of uniformly chopped vegetables. It makes for fast prep and easy cleanup. I also love my Titan Peeler that I bought on a drunken whim. It makes peeling vegetables extremely fast compared to the standard peelers I've owned in the past.

Corn cutter or kerneler

Seriously, zucchini noodles are the best pasta substitute. I have this one, 8.99$, works great

Amazon also has the best prices on all Bob's Red Mill products versus any store I've been in, across the board. I get all of my Chia seeds, flaxseed meal, almond meal, etc from Amazon.

Spiralizer!
OXO Good Grips 3-Blade Spiralizer with StrongHold Suction https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01C2TT2H8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_a64czb4G9R369

That looks like a swivel peeler with the material surrounding the blade being steel or silver colored, a black handle, and a dimple in the tip to scoop out spots and eyes.

After some Googling my spouse and I have narrowed it down to two candidates. Personally I think the first is closer to the one in the video (but they think the handle is too thick) while the second is a little too curved.

• OXO Good Grips Pro
  
• Williams Sonoma Straight Swivel Peeler

Best 1.30 ever spent

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00G0O9ZF6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_BDYrxb49PY0GY

Sold. Now I'm looking on amazon and I'm torn between a bunch of them. They're all around $20 or under for the best reviewed ones - all pretty positive too. Which one would y'all get?

iPerfect - http://amzn.com/B00I014XAE

Random scanning won't yield the results you are looking for. If you don't have a strategy you will be at a major disadvantage. Truth be told: There are thousands of people looking through the clearance sections of the major retailers every day. What makes you think that you can walk in and magically walk out with a handsome profit? That does not work. So you need to come up with a formula that works. No one is going to hand that to you. That formula is worth big bucks.

I will give you this advice: If you want to make it in this business, you need to apply more cleverness.

Have a look at this item: http://www.amazon.com/Ikea-Stralande-Rotary-Cheese-Grater/dp/B00C0YY1DG - That sells for $29.99.

It seems not to be available in the US, but on the Canadian IKEA you can find it at this link http://www.ikea.com/ca/en/catalog/products/40153190/ for a fraction of that price. That type of deals is much more valuable than looking for Lego Sets in the clearance section. Be creative.

I bought a julienne peeler based on the reviews in this old keto post. I've made fabulous zoodles with it! By using a hand-held one, you wouldn't have to worry about the larger zucchinis fitting in it.

> We got the Briefton 5-blade. The suctions cups on the bottom are a bit flimsy, but we like it over all.

It's already been posted here in spades, but get a food processor with the shredder blade. If those are too pricey for your budget, a rotary grater will work.

Nice.

Edit: Actually there's thing my parents had like 20 years ago called the Rotato. Same kind of thing in the except it stands vertically and doesn't core the potato.

Re-edit: This is it https://www.amazon.com/Rotato-Potato-Peeler/dp/B0004BV2MU

Modern for three years is crystal: an appointment to visit a crystal healer

Modern gift for four is appliances: Presto Tater Twister

I love that you and your husband have a good sense of humor about the whole thing, and surprise me!

The pic just needs to be Rotatoed.

Have at it, my man.

I suspect the device I have isn't as good, but it's not bad either, and it costs eight dollars:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003CT3S00/

But I'm probably going to get the Spirelli.

Sounds like your book should be bundled with one of these instead!

Or go super-advanced with the Kitchenaid Mixer attachments and have electricty do all the work for you! Kitchenaid mixers are to food what your 10-in-1 shower product Sueeve is for hygiene.

This is the minimum you really need, but at that point it's more effort than its worth:

Personally, I invested in a Julienne Peeler... if you can call $10 investing :)

http://www.amazon.com/Julienne-Peeler-Vegetables-Professional-Satisfaction/dp/B00HIAXFCK

Mostly I use zucchini noodles for soups, but I have also made the thicker noodles for a 'lasagna' of sorts.

Additionally, I try to not waste my money on things like Atkins bars, I prefer to make fat bombs or portable 'fat snacks' that can be frozen and carried around easily.

Just FYI, you only need this much of an amazon link:

https://www.amazon.com/Stainless-17-1-inch-Adjustable-Vegtable-Slicer/dp/B004PBXD22

All the rest just says who did the search and a few other things.

I use this one: https://www.amazon.com/Stainless-17-1-inch-Adjustable-Vegtable-Slicer/dp/B004PBXD22
It's made in Germany by Rösle. Was surprised to see it on sale on Amazon.com. I can only recommend it, had it for years. Sharp V-shaped blade and a sturdy stainless steel build.

Cake slicer!

Mocha is yummy.

> especially considering i don’t own a food processor #college

A box grater also works! Takes a bit more time and I'd recommend putting some newspaper or paper towels under the grater and plate/bowl to catch the occasional fly-away, but it works.

I make zoodles a lot and use this $9 julienne peeler. Thought I'd pass along for you frugal folks looking to get into the zoodle scene.

I got this guy for christmas, wish I had bought it sooner. Have already made a few batches of zucchini noodles for pasta. Did a normal pasta with a meat sauce. Last night made the noddles, cooked up some sausage and onions and added a little pesto. Was really good.

I really like the zucchini noodles and I want to try the carrots. Have also done spaghetti squash which is good as well. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

I went to MegaCon today and met Karl Urban! Also I got to cosplay, which is always so, so fun. :D

Item. Thanks for the contest!

Honestly, no need to waste all that money. I made Zoodles with a julienne peeler and it works perfectly! I bought this one on Amazon for less than 10 bucks! http://www.amazon.com/Priority-Chef-Julienne-Vegetable-Stainless/dp/B00HIAXFCK

I use a version of this one, but in metal, and it works perfectly: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01C2TT2H8/ref=sspa_mw_detail_2?psc=1

This peeler. I own it and love it. It requires very little pressure and is lightning quick. It is one of the few as seen on TV gadgets that are worth buying. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0026AE6FM/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1469498091&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=titan+peeler&dpPl=1&dpID=51jOGvZV-bL&ref=plSrch

It would also be copyright infringement. :)

I bought this Oxo Good Grips from Amazon. Don't use it much but works well when I do.

There might not be one. Eventually they must go dull, and thats just the way it is. However, I habitually buy OXO Good Grips stuff, so try this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000DAQ46

This is one!

I've got one. I've only used it once so far, but it's pretty neat and easy. I made zucchini noodles and they were great. There are a couple others here with them too. I'd have to go look for a comment to find out who, but we could all share recipes.

Also, if you don't want to pay shipping, you can always send me a GC and I can order it for you off your list.

edit: The one I have looks identical to the one on your list, but I paid $8 more for whatever reason.

Hot showers. There's seriously only one thing that I can think of that a hot shower does not fix for me, and that's a migraine.

That being said, do all the snuggles, because a few weeks being alone sucks. I know. :(

What makes me feel better

(I love baking bread, but I've never been able to slice it properly!)

No, THIS is the most awesome Tomato/Onion slicer ever...

Zucchini noodler.

Or nice tupperware or bentos for packing lunches.

This is correct tomato slicer. Bought one at a yard sale. Can confirm
http://www.amazon.com/SCI-8975-Tomato-Slicer/dp/B001TM4L7G

This one looks good (I think, I'm only just beginning to check them out) and is pretty reasonable.

One of these and an electric knife. My mom didn't buy bread for a good 2 years in lieu of making her own - that combo was the way to go.

$20 for the slicing guide on Amazon

So, you want frilly things?

Oh, wait, you don't want those? Weird.

In that case, you needthis cheese grater. It may seem unnecessary, but if you ever cook with cheese, it's not. Why buy expensove bags of cheese covered in starch and wood pulp when you could have freshly shredded, real cheese in less than 30 seconds? Why shred your fingers on a box grater when the blades in this one are safely tucked away? Seriously, why aren't you already buying this?

Thanks for the contest! I already have the grater, but I have a ton of kitchen things in that price range that would make me giddy as a schoolgirl.

You can buy it pre-grated or just get one of these:
Cuisinart CTG-00-BG Boxed Grater https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004YZENBY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_i_j8d8AbRSPG3GH
and do it yourself with a whole head.

I use this one that I got off amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01C2TT2H8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Pro-tip for making zucchini pasta: after you run the zucchini through your spiralizer let the noodles sit out on some paper towels or a cloth and generously salt them. The salt will draw out a lot of the excess moisture from the noodles which will then me absorbed by the cloth you use. What I typically do is spiralize the noodles and salt them like I described, then go cook whatever else I'm making to go with the noodles, which is usually a pork butt steak, and then fry up the noodles in the time that my steak is resting. Zucchini noodles really only need 3-4 minutes tops in the pan to be fully done, so as soon as they are done my steak is done resting and everything is good to eat.

This julienne cutter! It would make just about everything I do in the kitchen THAT much easier lol; thanks for the contest! C:

Well hello there internet friend! I am feeling lazy today as well. I did read the other day about an amazing julienne peeler that I added to my wishlist. It would be a perfect prize for this occasion!

Damn you're fortissimo!

https://www.amazon.com/Presto-Tater-Twister-Curly-Cutter/dp/B000JHYBTU

I feel bad linking something that costs so much but it's the one thing on my wish list I actually really need. I make my own bread and it sucks trying to cut straight pieces without a [bread guide](
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00004UE6T/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=31NO586UEFRDY&coliid=I2W7BLOUSQR9Y1).

I got one of these just the other week! I used it on a daikon radish the other night to make noodles and it worked like a charm (as long as the veggie wasn't too thin).

This is 6.02 so close!

I have this

http://www.amazon.com/Presto-Tater-Twister-Curly-Cutter/dp/B000JHYBTU

I have never been cut by it.

I have been using this julienne peeler for my zoodles. I have limited kitchen space, so a larger 'spiralizer' would take up too much room. I really like it, and highly recommend it!

I have this Briefton 5-blade that works nicely. So far holds up.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WKENSDA?psc=1
Likely too big for your specific purposes at this time, though.

I like this one from Priority Chef the best for the price. It's only $8, works great and I doubt I'll ever wear it out.

Cake Leveler

Happy Cake Day!

Titan veggie peeler - I am as wary as the next Redditor about "as seen on tv" shit, but this bad-ass mofo is everything it purports to be and more. It's the closest thing to peeling with a light saber that I ever hope to get. Fucking thing even makes peeling a raw butternut squash quick and easy. My only caveat is that you really have to be aware of where your follow-through stroke is going to go, because it will filet the fuck out of your fingers as fast as it will anything else.

Hate to disagree with you, but Joe used to sell Zena Stars as you can see here: http://www.newyorkdailyphoto.com/nydppress/wp-content/uploads/2006/09/JoeAdes2.jpg

Upshot, they're still pretty close to 5 a pop.

It looks like the Turbo Peeler or Titan Peeler or something similar.

There's actually a product called the Rotato. I got it once in a family Christmas grab bag. I regifted it.

I did not even know this gizmo existed! WOW! Just wow..Read the blurb on this one. chuckles

I like my julienne peeler for making zoodles - you can buy veggie-noodle contraptions that make pretty much the same thing but take up way more room. I got mine at a local store - didn't need to go online for it :)

Also search 'spiralizer', in case anyone is into looking up more varieties/brands of the product type. I wanted one, but ended up being gifted something like this which I really enjoy as well!

here is a copy with my links :-D

Riddle 1 - Wine

• Here are these lovely dragon goblets to fill up with my wine :-D because, you of course need to have tons of dragons to go with your castle! And if I am going to get drunk I may as well do it in style, and you know after a hard week of classes, getting drunk is fun.
  
  
  Riddle 2: Broom
  
  
• Here is a makeup brush, which has the shape of a broom, it has bristles and a wooden pole just like a broom, and its made for making faces all clean and pretty, just like a broom does for a house! Not to mention, I need to look my best when attending class ;-) You know to distract all the guys.
  
  Riddle 3: Umbrella
  
  
• Aprons keep you clean and dry just like an umbrella does, and it is such a pretty teal color! Not to mention, I look excellent in an apron, and it can keep my clothes neat and clean during potions class!
  
  
  Riddle 4: Book
  
  
• Here is a set of books from the Hogwarts Library, enough said
  
  Riddle 5: Trunk
  
  
• This lovely keepsake box is perfect for those who are magically minded. With an adorable fairy perched on top, it is a wonderful place to hide all of your little secrets. ;-)
  
  Bonus Riddle: Cape
  
  
• With is Julliene Peeler, I can be a superhero in the kitchen! No longer will I have to struggle with a knife to get those tiny cuts, all the meals will be saved!

Are you fucken serious? So I just bought this for nothing:

http://www.amazon.com/Norpro-Bread-Slicer-Crumb-Catcher/dp/B00004UE6T/

If this is actually something that worries you, there are bread slicing guides available...

I got a cake leveler for christmas a couple years ago. I love it.

I like this one by Oxo, couple more bucks but I keep it close.

I also got nonstick cookie sheets, muffin pans and a nice roasting pan.

Not really. The tongs need to be sturdy enough to hold a rack of ribs. The peelers I have are like this, but that's just because I happen to like the way they fit and feel. The chinese cleaver I have I bought at the local chinese grocery store (I handled a bunch of them until I found one that felt "right").

I assume with one of these

Mmmm I'm sitting here with this bowl of zucchini and carrot covered in her avocado sauce. Ohhhh my goodness.

The method totally works! I bought Titan's Peeler and Julienne Tool from Bed Bath and Beyond ($15, but yay $5 coupon!). It works beautifully!

I used 1/2 large zucchini and 2 thin carrots with 1/2 medium avocado. There is a ridiculous amount of sauce, but I'm fine with that. Next time I'll cut it down to about 1/4 avocado. It's just so tasty! This is definitely my new preferred method for shredding as well as I can just peel, julienne-peel, and a few chops to perfection. Grating always gets so messy, so this will be way easier. Yay!!

https://www.amazon.com/Creative-white-separator-filter-Sieve/dp/B00G0O9ZF6/

This is the correct answer. Serrations are are lovely thing for cutting tomatoes.

thanks, i'll check it out at BB&B first as I'm skeptical it's sturdy enough.
i may end up getting the pro version of that peeler for a few dollars more;
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000DAQ46
on this version the blade is longer, tougher and held by a metal frame.
a reviewer in Dec'2013 claims he uses this specifically on butternut squash.
