Swivel Peeler
The best peeler in the world costs £7.
The Victorinox Rex Speed Peeler is what professional kitchens reach for, and it costs £7. The swivel blade follows the curve of the vegetable rather than fighting it, the loop handle sits naturally in the hand, and it stays sharp through heavy use. There is no premium alternative worth considering — this is simply the best peeler you can buy.
Why I use it
I've used the same Rex for years and I've never found anything that comes close at any price. It glides through potato skin, butternut squash, and carrot without pressing. When it eventually dulls I just buy another one — at £7 it's cheaper than any sharpening gadget and a new one is sharper anyway.
