Why is it a good Prime Day deal? 💰

When was the last time you swapped out your veggie peeler? You should aim to replace it at least once a year, Garten says. She told Food & Wine magazine, "Vegetable peelers get rusty, they get dull and they're very cheap, so you can just throw them out and buy new ones." Well, you're in luck, because a three-pack of Ina's go-to peelers is on sale for a mere $14, the lowest they've been since the beginning of the year. (And there's more where that came from — check out other stellar Prime Day kitchen deals.)

Why do I need this? 🤔

It really shouldn't come as a surprise that the Kuhn Rikon Original Swiss Peeler has made its way into Ina's hands, considering it has been a kitchen staple since 1986. According to the Switzerland-based brand, more than 20 million have been sold worldwide.

The peelers are versatile (recommended for a wide range of both soft and hard fruits and vegetables), comfortable (the ergonomic shape is ideal for left- or right-handers), convenient (dishwasher-safe ... though hand-washing with warm, soapy water is recommended) and durable (they feature a sharp straight carbon steel blade that "maximizes smoothness and minimizes wastage"). They're also downright adorable and, as mentioned above, fairly affordable.

What reviewers are saying 💬

As if Ina's stamp of approval wasn't enough to seal the deal, the Kuhn Rikon Original Swiss Peeler trio also comes backed by over 7,000 five-star Amazon reviews, beloved for its no-fuss, comfortable design and smooth moves.

Pros 👍

"Works great," confirmed one reviewer. "Easy to hold and sharp as a razor … I really love them. Takes really fine shavings when peeling and it's comfortable to use. Recommend them highly."

"The go-to for professionals," added a second. "​​… They're sharp, comfortable enough to peel a 50-pound sack of potatoes, and compact enough for a drawer with a big ole hole for a tool rack peg. The blade takes off thin layers, so you're not wasting the product (but thick enough that the potato peels can go in a fryer and be oh-so-tasty)."

"Best veg peeler!" exclaimed a third. "I wanted a really good vegetable peeler and I was watching America's Test Kitchen, and they went through several and this one came as the best one!"

Cons 👎

Some reviewers caution that these aren't peelers you'll want to rinse and let dry on their own. "These are very prone to rust with a carbon steel blade," noted one. "I didn't realize just how bad it could be. If you dry them immediately after washing them, they're golden."

"They do eventually rust," echoed another. "Given the price point, replacement is easy."
