Does anyone have the new Julienne Peeler? If so, does it cut like the older style and only the thick black handle is the difference? I'm trying to decide if I should buy the new one or not. :confused:

TIA :)
 
I have it, I like it.. and I can't really answer your questions. I didn't have the old one, but I believe they only changed the handle
 
The cut is thicker - more like julienne and less like peeled strips.

Thanks! :D

I was trying to decide if I should get the new one since I already have the old one. If the handle was the only difference then I was not, but since the cut is different I guess I will. Oh well......
 
I think it's sharper too. It is a better product.

Can't we get it for 1/2 price on a supply order? If so, it would certainly be worth your while...
 
I think we can. That or on a personal order. (I had a "show" I put together recently from outside orders (so they could get basting bottles), and I used the FPV to get one. ;) )
 
I do not have the Julienne Peeler, so, I have used my Serrated Peeler to make thin strips. Just thought I would share that with yall for those that do not have it.
 
I thought it just had a new handle. If they are better, I guess I'll have to think about getting them. My little one likes carrot strips.:p
 
Ohhh!! It is so much better than the old style!
 
I just got the new julienne peeler and thought the strips would be wider than with the old style. However, to me they are like a thick grate now a strip--too thin. I would rather make ribbons with my vegetable peeler. I am disappointed. I think the pieces are too small and will cook way to fast and not look as pretty in recipes.
