This julienne peeler makes quick work of a potato, carrot or zucchini. Run it down a vegetable and you have a pile of shreds in short order. They are more like matchsticks than you'd get from a grater, shorter than you might get from a food processor or mandoline. However, this is a cheap and easy trick for making veggie shreds. I like them for salads--it's easier to chew carrot shreds and when you toss them lightly in dressing, they get a really lovely soft-crunchy texture that is very moist and full of flavor. Zucchini shreds and potato shreds saute up quickly in a pan, for a great side vegetable, or for a veggie pancake.

Clean up is pretty simple, hold under running water. Dry carefully; the steel has a tendency to rust. If you get vegetables stuck in the teeth, a handy way to clean this is with a cheap toothbrush, bought specifically for cleaning jobs and which I keep in the drawer next to the sink.

Some warnings; this thing is sharp. Very sharp. So you have to find a way to hold your potato or zucchini so you don't slip and cut a finger. A fork poked into the end of the potato can help. Then you can rotate the fork around as you run the peeler down the sides. A good pair of serrated tongs might also help, or one of those mesh gloves for knife work. I'm sometimes clumsy--so I know I have to watch it with sharp things.
