I finally decided to give the Oxo "Y" style peeler a shot.
I have never used that type. Only the straight type and I always peeled away from my body. The cheap ones you can buy in the store for a dollar or even less at times.
So when I first bought the wye (Y) peeler, it was very awkward. And shortly thereafter took a small bit of skin and meat off one of my fingers.
Its very sharp. I like that about it BTW.
Today I'm peeling potato's and do it again. But this time I really removed the tip of my finger. Left hand pinky. Not exactly sure how I did it. But it was as I pulled the peeler at the very end of the stroke.
This is close to one of the worst kitchen accidents I have ever had happen with the exception of the once and again knife mistake, slip or minor burn.
Has anyone else had a hard time adjusting to this type of peeler?
I am going to go back online and buy the Oxo straight peeler style, like I am familiar with. It will have a nice sharp blade and maybe I don't cause myself any further injury.
For the record. My wife helped me get it bandaged and I finished peeling the potato's with the "Y" peeler.
But, I could not wash any dishes and expect that to be the case for several days.
