Spud bashing.

Something like this?

I think they are the most personal piece of kitchen equipment. No one else's is ever as good. DH and I use totally different ones!

Definitely personal. We have two little paring knives that look the same. DH prefers one, I hate it. Mine has a rubber band on the handle to differentiate.
And to show how different we all are, I can't stand vegetable peelers, keep stripping skin off myself.

I can't visualize your peeler from your description. Have you tried the swivel sort? They make light work of the job. Ebay have a huge selection of peelers if you do a search. For example:

Or this?

I use an Oxo Goodgrips one which is really comfortable to hold - if that's any help!

Are you still there Knowsley? I think my second suggestion might be the one you are after, and it is a one-off, so get in there quickly if you are interested! Good luck!

Although the one in my link is also as you describe, Knowsley.

I do hope you come back and tell us what you think - it's frustrating when posters ask for help and then disappear...

I agree about the Oxo Goodgrips peeler. Oxo masher is also the best as all force is projected downwards by the horizontal handle.

If I don't feel like peeling potatoes for mash, I just boil and mash them with the skins on. Haven't found it a problem. Some of the bits of skin stick to the masher, the rest we eat.

What a lot of kind posters here. I never knew there were so many different kinds of peeler! We have used the swivel ones for years and I use them slicing away from me, rather than towards. We all have different likes and ways, don't we.

I am afraid I do it the unsafe way, towards me! I have recently aquired a julienne peeler, which is great for making a few strips of carrot for a salad, and less wet than using a grater.

I use an ordinary table knife. I had a peeler when first married, after a few years it gave up the ghost, always meant to get a new one, but never did, tried to use one recently but failed miserably, back to the knife!

I use one of the swivel type for carrots, parsnips and anything long. I use a paring knife for potatoes. My knife was a wedding present, and is still going strong.

Apologies folks, British Rail are doing a lot of construction work at the local station, which is next door to the telephone exchange, which means I lose my internet connection for quite a lot of the time.

The one which looks most like the peeler I use is the one suggested by Ana so I'll be buying that one.

A BT engineer has called, replaced my router and phone socket but still getting breaks in Broadband access. Put a claim in, but have just had an acknowledgement of so far.

Thanks everyone!

Good luck with your broadband Knowsley, and happy peeling!

Glad we were able to help, Knowsley!
