Peelers, according to Cooking YouTube
Only claims about peelers made by people we have grounds to call Cooking YouTube. The unrestricted peelers evidence is on the peelers page.
Cooking YouTube is a community we read.
3 people on record as Cooking YouTube make 17 quoted claims about peelers across 4 sources. Membership is recorded with its own evidence — for a person by the trait they are on record holding, for a community by the source it was said in — and authority is scoped to peelers rather than to fame.
What do Cooking YouTube say about peelers in general?
Not a recommendation for a specific product: technique, materials and what to look for in peelers. Citable on its own terms.

So, this one here is ATK recommended. We recommended it for many, many years.
it is essential to have a really nice sharp peeler

What's cool about this is you can actually do it incredibly quickly. I can just rotate the carrot with one hand and just peel just comes right off. And that's it. Super, super quick.
Cites speed and efficiency
It also has this unique little feature over here. Most people think it's maybe like a hook to hang it, but it's actually for removing the eyes that you find on potatoes. There's a lot of cool features to it.
That's why this peeler is so great to just dig right into it, get down to about that color. Okay, so that is our beefiest grip. It's fabulous for the squash here, good for broccoli stems. Anything tough you gotta work through.
You could also use it as a tiny melon baller if you wanted to.
Anyway, this is the perfect peeler for a potato.

This is a brand new one, super, super sharp right out of the box and it stays that way for a long time.
Cites edge retention
When you're peeling, it's very different than using a knife and hitting it constantly against the board. The blade stays sharp a lot longer.
It's super, super light.

But what I really love is that it's just a much easier motion for me than using the standard peeler, which is much more like using a pairing knife.
And you can see that I'm using my entire arm for it, not just my wrist. That gives me a lot more power and gets really good purchase on it.
What this allows me to do is have really good control. I can follow the entire curvature of this potato as I go down.
It's not just for peeling things. You can make shavings of cheese, like Parmigiano-Reggiano. Every peeler has like a little attachment on it that's made to pull off eyes off of a potato or bruises on a piece of fruit. So, it's not just a peeler, it's a cleaner. It does so many things. You can also shave chocolate with…
Cites versatility
obviously use it to peel potatoes peel vegetables do shavings of chocolate do shavings of cheese
you can peel all sorts of vegetables or fruits or even cheese's if you want to get them nice and thin I like to shave vegetables too for like an ice shaved veggie salad

Now this is for working through really hard things, like the tough skin on a squash, or if you're peeling the stock of broccoli, which has all those undulations can be really hard.
This is for taking off just a thin amount of skin or peel on a vegetable such as a carrot.
There are two types of people in this world, those who love a standard peeler and those who love a Y peeler. I am in the second camp.
This is the one item on my essentials list where I think if you were to leave one thing out of this entire list of utensils, you could leave this out, but I promise you that there will be an occasion where you wish you had one of these.
