From the Manufacturer --------------------- OXO's Peelers – An a-peel-ing alternative ----------------------------------------- The Swivel Peeler was the first of over 800 OXO tools introduced since 1990. OXO's founder was inspired to create a better functioning, more comfortable alternative to the traditional metal peeler after watching his wife struggle while peeling apples for a tart. OXO's line of peelers includes options for all kinds of preferences, including the original Swivel Peeler, a Y-Peeler, a Serrated Peeler and a Julienne Peeler.

Problems Identified ------------------- * Small, uncomfortable handles hurt users' hands during repetitive tasks and require strength to grip; Handles do not flex for comfort * Materials used are slippery, especially when wet * Inefficient blades with poor cutting angles and sharpness cut into edible parts of fruits and vegetables, resulting in significant waste OXO Swivel Peeler The Process ----------- * During development, designers literally watched people of all ages and abilities (male & female, young & old, lefties & righties and people with special needs) interact with the product to identify precisely where on the handle users applied pressure while peeling. * The design team explored hundreds of different handles and learned that a bicycle handle, with its large size and "grippy" material, was a very effective jumping-off point for the Swivel Peeler. Bicycle handles have to be sturdy enough to give riders a significant a of control, a feature that was lacking in the world of kitchen tools. * While sourcing parts for the original Swivel Peeler, designers worked with a blade manufacturer that was famous for creating Samurai s. What better way to ensure the user would not have to expend much effort when peeling a carrot, apple or potato? OXO's Solutions --------------- * Large handle fits comfortably in hand and elliptical shape keeps it from rotating; "Fins" on either side absorb pressure while in use. * Durable, rubberized material provides a cushioned, non-slip grip and significant control, even when wet. * Sharp blades are angled to remove only the minimum a of peel necessary with little force With the introduction of the Swivel Peeler, OXO set a new standard by creating a wonderfully effective, attractive tool that people of all ages and abilities were proud and eager to use. Consumers everywhere were taken with the "roly-poly, pudgy handles, " changing the look of kitchens the world over.
