The Monopol speed peeler truly is the king of vegetable peelers, and an embodiment of the principle "less is more".

Its minimalist design keeps its price low and makes it light and maneuverable. Its stainless steel blade seems to stay permanently sharp, and quickly and smoothly shaves off thin layers of peel, minimising waste. Other peelers  are clumsy in comparison. And the sharp little hook for digging out potato eyes is a bonus. Don't just limit it to peeling potatoes, it will make short work of a pumpkin and is excellent for shaving Parmesan cheese for a salad.
