Celebrate 20 Years Of OXO With The Launch Of The Y Peeler
I have been a fan of OXO for some time now, and even my family now love to use their products. With OXO having a mission of providing innovative consumer products that make everyday living easier – they certainly have a huge following. There are many collections available within OXO from Cooking Tools to Household Cleaning Tools and Barware to Garden Tools - in fact with more than 850 products you will not be disappointed with your new purchase.
So, how exactly has OXO come about? Well, the OXO story began back in 1990 when retired entrepreneur Sam Farber was on holiday in France with his wife Betsey. After witnessing his wife’s struggle with everyday kitchen gadgets due to a mild case of arthritis, he was inspired to develop a range of tools that were easy to use for the largest spectrum of people. Sam went on to develop his first collection of 15 tools that were incredibly comfortable to use, simple and stylish – and these are still being used today!
The peelers were the first ever tools to be developed by Sam Farber and have been in the range since the company was born. The Y peeler is OXO’s most popular and best selling tool! And now, for a limited period only the new red Y peeler is a celebratory take on OXO’s best-selling UK product.
OXO celebrates 20 years of universal design and two decades of innovation within the housewares industry with the launch of this amazing anniversary festive red Y Peeler - perfect for the Christmas period. OXO say: -
“OXO’s Y peeler loves the limelight and can be found on all major TV channels in the hands of professional and celebrity chefs. The ingenious gadget gurus at OXO have launched an exclusive red Y peeler just in time for Christmas that even Rudolph would be keen to get his hooves on.”
With a blade almost as sharp as a samurai sword and a trademark soft-grip, non-slip handle this Y Peeler will be your new best friend in the kitchen. The sharp, stainless steel blade is designed to remove between 0.8-1 millimetre of peel which helps to retain the maximum amount of vitamins and nutrients that lay just under the skin.
It is absolutely fantastic on potatoes, root vegetables, and surprisingly good on peeling tougher skins such as on mango’s. Personally, I have never used peelers whilst preparing food as I have found them too hard to use and my hand and wrist usually start to hurt after peeling around 3 potatoes! Hence, I always use a knife! But, when I first used OXO’s Y Peeler, I was pleasantly surprised at how easy, quick and comfortable to use it was – and I haven’t gone back to using a sharp knife for peeling since.
Christmas day is going to be a breeze in the kitchen this year – with all those potatoes, carrots and parsnips to peel for the whole family, it will be done in no time at all with this super Peeler – leaving more time for festive fun and games.
The Y Peeler from OXO is priced at £5.50 – a very well worth purchase indeed! It is available nationwide. For stockist details please call 0114 290 1455
