Can you recommend a julienne peeler?

Hi,

I recently decided to go on a diet, and now I have to eat lots of vegetables. Not much fun, but to somehow diversify the dishes I want to buy a julienne peeler. After not very long search I settled on these two models:

http://www.amazon.com/Kuhn-Rikon-Julienne-Protector-Stainless/dp/B0000CEWJD/

But so far still can't decide. What you use or what should I look for? I'd be happy all the advice.

I julienne them by hand when I use that type of cut. Personally I find that when I am chopping my veggies and other food by hand I am more connected to the dish that I am making. For the most part a sharp knife is all you need.

Hi,

I decided to buy two peelers. And after a week of use, I can share my impressions. Please, do not judge strictly, this is my first review

Peeler from Joseph Joseph.

I LIKE:
1. Three blades in one tool.
2. Blades are not exposed when stored.
3. The original design.
4. Simple blades change.

I DON'T LIKE
1. I don't find the shape comfortable to hold, it is narrow and has insufficient diameter, I think if it had a traditional handle it would have solved some of the issues.
2. It becomes slippery during use.
3. Peels collect in the blades.
4. It is necessary to disassemble for cleaning in the dishwasher.


Peeler from Deiss.

I LIKE:
1. Comfortable non-slip handle. Peeler is simple to control and can be used for a long time without fatigue.
2. Very easy to clean. Just substitute under running water.
3. Simple and reliable design.
4. Extremely sharp.

I DON'T LIKE
1. Peels collect in the blades.
2. It's a bit easier to cut yourself, compared to the round one.

Both peelers are great products, with own advantages and disadvantages, but in the last week, I noticed that mostly use peeler from Deiss.
