This $12 OXO Good Grips Gadget Cuts Vegetable Prep Time in Half

While you can never go wrong with fresh slaw, garden salads, and spring rolls, many home cooks “dread the amount of prep” that some vegetables can take. But OXO found an easier, quicker way to create thin, matchstick-like strips of carrot or cucumber. Over 9,700 Amazon shoppers have turned to the OXO Good Grips Julienne Prep Peeler to speed up the process, reporting that the $12 tool is “fast, sharp, and surprisingly fun to use.” In fact, one catering company owner remarked, “Many of my dishes are comprised of julienned vegetables and this has cut my labor down to less than half.”

Like other OXO Good Grips tools, this julienne prep peeler has the brand’s signature handle that is comfortable to hold. One reviewer reported the handle is “non-slip and soft, preventing hand fatigue even when prepping large batches of food.” But it’s the stainless steel double blade, with razor-sharp teeth on both sides, that saves time by making short work of slicing through vegetables. These blades “glide through carrots, zucchini, and potatoes with almost no pressure,” noted another fan. “This works great on carrots and cucumbers for those of us too lazy to use a knife,” quipped one home cook who uses the tool for sushi and salads.

Measuring only 0.75 x 4.2 inches, this vegetable peeler doesn’t take up as much room in the kitchen drawer as a mandoline. Plus, it’s faster than cutting by hand with a chef’s knife. Yet, you can easily create garnishes for salads, zucchini zoodles for spaghetti, thin strips of cucumber for spring rolls, shredded potatoes for latkes, and more. Since this julienne peeler is dishwasher-safe, cleanup is a breeze.

Gone are the days of belabored meal prep: “I am shocked how amazing this tool is, and it’s so easy and fast!” exclaimed one reviewer, while another said it makes slicing carrots “super quick.” “The OXO Good Grips Julienne Prep Peeler has earned a permanent spot in my kitchen drawer,” said a third shopper. “I can prep a full bowl of veggie strips in a fraction of the time it used to take with a knife or mandoline,” they added. Another buyer who makes Thai-style pickled carrots and radish called this an “awesome gadget” and found that all it takes is “just one slice down, and I’m done.” “I was happily surprised it worked better than my chef knife skills,” wrote yet another fan. 

Any no-fuss, time-saving kitchen tool is a worthy buy. It’s “absolutely worth the low price, said one shopper. “Wish I had gotten it sooner.” Join the more than 3,000 people who added the OXO julienne peeler to their shopping cart this past month while it’s just $12.
