Do you have an Oxo Good Grips potato peeler and are you terrified of it?

Had one given to me for Chrustmas. (Yes, I know hmm) and have just sliced off pqrt of a fingernail.

Lunch may be off for today, unless I am rescued.

I'm absolutely RUBBISH with any potato peelers - no matter what style they are tchsad.

I use a very sharp, small veg knife to peel, cut and slice everything that needs peeling, cutting or slicing. When I can't find that particular knife, I'm like a woman demented confused.

I've even been known to take my 'spud knife' on self-catering caravan holidays with me - can't rely on a caravan to have the right style of knife for me to use wink.

I decided to snip some bacon up this week for DGD's pizza (using the kitchen scissors) and also managed to snip into my finger as well.......

I use a Lancashire peeler but until I saw Neilspurgeon’s photo of one I had no idea that that was its name.

For some reason DH likes to use a hand held cheese slicer to peel potatoes. I’ve tried using one - they are rubbish and take far longer to use.

The verdict in this short video is potato peeler is best. I must be using it wrongly. grin
