This giveaway is now closed. Thank you so much for stopping by. The winner is Noreen (it’s not often that random.org picks the first comment!). Congratulations!
It’s another day in the Bailey household and the redundant question of the day is “What’s for dinner?” My husband is the savvy one and I often skirt cooking duty in exchange for clean-up! My husband is probably the messiest cook I’ve ever known but I can’t complain because his meals are soooo yummy. I think I’d probably be inclined to spend more time in the kitchen if I had products that made cooking and clean-up easier like The Veggie-Peel.
I have to thank Nicole over at Apron Strings Aflutter for introducing me to this fabulously ingenious product. Gone are the days of clogged kitchen sink drains and flying cucumber peels. The Veggie-Peel is a simple, savvy, safe solution for meal prep. It features a double-sided blade, which makes it user-friendly for anyone, regardless of which hand they prefer to use. The fruit and vegetable peelings empty into an acrylic chamber which has a removable cap. Clean-up is literally the time it takes to open the chamber and empty the peelings into the trash. The Veggie-Peel is simple to clean and dishwasher safe.
Check out my short video review!

I neede a VP because I clogged out sink once, I don’t want to repeat that ever!!
I need a veggie-peel because I’m moving in with two of my co-workers and we come home exhausted from ten hours in the field doing habitat restoration. Anything to speed up cleaning would be incredibly helpful.
Double-sided blades for people who are either left-handed or right-handed.
this is great. I am right handed and hubby is left. He could peel too.
I make a gigantic mess whenever I try to peel anything! I’d love to have this, so I don’t spend more time picking up the peels than I do actually peeling!
because my husband is a messy, messy, messy cook and I usually don’t like it when he takes over the kitchen because I’m the one who has to clean up after him. (and we are talking sauce splatters, peelings all over the place, etc)
This tool would be very handy for him and very good for my sanity!
We just went from 4 people living in the house to 5- in one day!! Feeding 5 people, including myself, can get hard when you don’t have a veggie peeler!
I have to eat a lot of veggies and as I have to take a blood thinner, this would save me a lot of injuries.
I don’t own a peeler so I could really use one! and I tend to cut myself when I use a knife to “peel” anything. I am a class A klutz!
I always make such a mess when I peel veggies! I love that “Your work station stays clean and free of vegetable peelings!”
following you on twitter, but just an FYI, your twitter link doesn’t work.

Blogged!
I’m about to move out of my parents house & could seriously use this!!
This would be so great and easy to use plus less messes for me to clean up. I also tend to cut myself using knifes and peelers.
I like the fact that it can be used for righties or lefties. Hubby is a leftie and loves to cook so we’d really use it a lot. Also, since it’s dishwasher safe, it makes it a must-have!

this is pretty cool! it stores all the peelings, love it!
I peel off more of the vegetable meat with the skin.I need a veggie peeler to save on food.
Thanks !
I cook every day for my family, and certainly with this economy, I am buying more potatoes. I need this!
I am horrible at peeling.
i need it to fool my kids, i’ll peel the veggies into looking like something they’d like.
Cause the economy is bad and we all need a lift up! Good luck to all
This really looks great. Im left handed and I always have trouble peeling things. This looks like I wouldnt have a problem with it. Also, tired of all those peels getting all over the place when I peel things. Potato, carrots, beets, etc. Keep my fingers crossed that I win. Thanks in advance.
wow this realy looks grate and easy to use and safe too i could realu use this in my kiction thanks
I need it to save me some clean up time…..it takes 30 minutes to cook dinner, but another hour to clean up…..how is that?
I like that it is easy to use for both right and left handed people and also the fact that it is easy to clean up. Any time savers are always appreciated.
to make peeling safer
How awesome! I never knew this existed! I need one because I’m a messy peeler, when I peel a veggie it ends up all over the cabinet, sink, and floor. What a great invention, I hope I win!
dcadmat at gmail dot com
we like veggies but not knives so much.
I want this because it looks cool, and alot less mess
no more bandaids
In the winter I make lots of stew and use a ton of veggies. I’d love this!
gkstratos@yahoo.com
I need one to add a bit of fun to the potato & carrot peeling drudgery.
I would like a Veggie Peel because I’m practically a failure at peeling, even with a normal peeler. LoL. It always seems like I’m wasting a lot of vegetables when I peel them.
i need one because i’m a klutz and tend to cut myself while peeling vegetables
I have carpal tunnel syndrome so peeling veggies is quite a chore—this would help immensely! Thanks for the chance.
I eat a lot of vegetables since I’m a vegetarian. This would come in handy.
NEAT NO MESS
This is neat! I need it so there’s no more peelings all over the place.
I need this to avoid the mess in my sink…
What a unique and wonderful idea. Would love to own this.
I cannot find my peeler – I’m guessing DH threw it away with the peel.
There are a few reasons why I would like the veggie peel. One is the time it saves. Another is less of a clean up mess. Aslo it would be easy of my fingers that are arthritic.
I need one because no matter how clean i think my kitchen is, i still find dried up pieces of peeled veggies, days later, stuck behind cutting boards, in my silver ware drawer, or falling between my oven and counter.
fabulous invention. i hope every store carries them!
It would make cleanup so much quicker
What a great idea! I would love to try it.
i need one because i’m not “allowed” to use a knife in the kitchen. I always cut myself when peeling/chopping vegetables so I try to avoid it. This would be great
new peeling idea who couldnt use it
I always cut myself.
It is easier than using my fingers.
I hate peeling
Amazing! I really need the Veggie Peel…….more than anything, I hate wiping put the sink after peeling vegetables……the peeling do not work in the garbage disposal, either…so I have managed to clog up both the kitchen sink and the disposal. Help!!!!
I would like to try this because of my limited mobolity and eyesight
That is better than me peeling my fruit and veggies over the trash and occasionally losing one to the bin when it slips from my grasp. Cucumbers in particular seem to be slippery little buggers.
just moved didn’t move much. Sure could use it.
Thank you for having this! This would be fantastic! I peel a lot of veggies and this would be such a great help. Thank you!
tatertot374@sbcglobal.net
I am a kitchen disaster.
it stores all the peelings and I need that
I am getting married soon and i don’t have any kitchen appliances! this looks like a must
lauren
Usually if I have to peel it, I don’t it. This might change that. Please accept my entry. Thank you.
Neat idea, I’d love one.
This would help me make a great compost pile since the peels would be easy to contain.
This is really a neat gadget, enter me please!
I have multiple sclerosis. My hands are very weak and shake a lot. This amazing device sure would make my life easier!
My long time peeler recently died. this new gadget looks like it
would fit the bill. But I don’t throw the peelings out into the
trash. I recycle them in my garden bin. The idea for today.
my old reliable peeler just died and this new gadget looks to fill the bill
I don’t throw out the peelings I recycle them in my garden bin.
this is really cool! it stores all the peelings,neat!
I really need one of these. Mr arthuritus makes it very difficult to peel.things.
I don’t own a peeler, would love to win this!
I always manage to get peels all over everything and spend more time cleaning them up. This would be great to have! thanks!
I need this because I am sick of peeling veggies with a knife! It sucks.
My husband loves to cook and this would be a great Stocking Stuffer for him.
I love veggies and I like ‘em peeled! Thanks for the chance to win.
My wife would love this.
That looks like a great vegetable peeler. I may be the world’s worst vegetable peeler….I hate the little ones that take forever to get anything peeled; if I use a knife I cut off too much of the vegetable with the peel. I am
“vegetable peeling” challenged!
I love this item! My daughter is scared to death of knives so she won’t cut anything! This would be a great help!
OOH enter me too! I love it! I need the Veggie Peel because I can never seem to get all the potato peels out of the sink before some get down the drain!
This would make peeling veggies fun!
This is great. Anything that cuts clean up time and is easy to use is a terrific idea. Good to know that it can be used be either lefties or righties.
I think this would help us eat more veggies
My hands are arthritic, this Veggie Peeler has a very ergonomic looking handle!
I need this because I don’t like to peel vegetables, and this would make it easier.

I need a Veggie-Peel because I love the concept of the Acrylic Chamber that allows you to peel with no mess, no clogged kitchen drains and just an easy toss into the garbage can! For someone like me who cooks with lots and lots of vegetables this would really make life easier!
This is awesome! I need this because it would help keep the kitchen cleaner.. I always make such a mess with the peels!
We did away with those easy mini carrots after hearing about the chlorine they use on them, so we have switch back to regular old big carrots and they way my kids eat them, I’m going to be peeling a lot!!
What a fabulous idea!!!!
I would love to win one because I make sure to pack veggies for lunch each day for my kids and I’m always getting peels all over the place. Just ask the dog who usually ends up eating them before I ge a chance to grab them off the floor. I know it’s ok to eat the carrots, but, I’m not sure if my pooch guzzling down cucumber peels is such a good idea. Ha Ha.
Thank you for a wonderful giveaway.
I need this for a few reasons. One is that I hate cleaning up the mess of making veggies & thus don’t eat as much as I should because of the hassle. Another is that I am a neat freak and I think this had to be made just for me. Plus, I am a busy mom of (soon) a newborn, a 15 month old and a 16 YEAR old… I need anything that makes life easier.
nateandjakesmom at gmail dot com
I’d actually use more veggies since cleanup would be so easy.

I need a peeler because I am so messy in the kitchen. I peel all over the place and make a mess.
ohhh how wonderful! this looks so easy to use in addition to making clean up a breeze!!!
terraljones@gmail.com
I need a veggie peel because I am a messy, messy cook. I can’t seem to hit a bowl with the peelings, so I resort to the sink, which I then have to clean, so I head for the trash can, which has diapers in it, and I don’t really want to have to take the lid off and stand over the smell. Save me from these run-on sentences—er, I mean peeling problems!
i love that the vegetable peels don’t end up on the floor…
annsavd at gmail dot com
I need the veggie peal because im expecting my first baby soon and I want to make my own baby food, this would save me lots of time while I have a screaming little one at my kitchen table!
I’d love a veggie peel, so I wouldn’t have to worry about cleaning up from making dinner when my little ones are screaming.
Great idea!
I need one because of the mess free design – I get peel everywhere with my regular peeler. So messy and hard to clean up. Thanks for the chance!
I need a veggie peeler because I am horrible at peeling vegetables in the first place and of course very messy. Then add in the factor that I’m a single mom who’s little one wants all the attention. No mess would be AWESOME! Thanks for the giveaway.
I need a V-P because I never have any luck peeling veggies – it always makes a big mess all over the kitchen! I think this would really help
I’m a gardener who always needs extra veggie peelers when the produce starts pouring in.
We’ve been making baby food for our little one and this would make it go so much faster!! Thanks.
Excellent! My husband has had to help unclog our garbage disposal several times — if even a few cucumber or potato peels get into it, we’re in trouble. The Veggie Peel would be a huge help. Thanks!
oh, this would be great to elliminate some of the mess of dinner prep!
I am always throwing my peels down the garbage disposal. Sadly if I put to many in there it clogs up and I make a huge mess.
What a wonderful and innovative idea!
Oh! This would be awesome! We don’t have a garbage disposal, and I hate reaching in and pulling all of the peelings out of the drain in the kitchen sink–uugh! What a great invention!
I could really use one of these! Anything to make veggie prep and cleanup easier is welcome in my house!
I need this because my husband does all the cooking and it would help make veggies easier.
I need one of these because I cannot tell you how many times I have flicked tiny pieces of carrot peel into the air and never found them again. I swear they disappear into thin air. Sometimes they reappear in my hair later or across the kitchen on a cabinet door.
This would be so cool to have.
Mine is rusting and needs to be replaced.
Peeling things would be my children’s favorite kitchen job, but they end up getting peels EVERYWHERE. Which they claim not to see all the time, so they don’t get to do it as awesome as they like. With these they can peel and I won’t have to pick up after them, so it will actually be a help for once

I have a lousy peeler! This one would be great! No mess!
we cook fresh veggies everyday and I peel quite a few of them. This would save me lots of cleanup and dirty counters or cleaning out the sink. This is a cool invention! Thank you!
I need this because I have a very old vegetable peeler which is hard to use and of course makes a mess.
We eat a lot of salads are are constantly peeling veggies. This is a grea idea.
We need one because every time we put peels down our garbage disposal, our sink gets clogged! Then when we unclog it, there’s usually a “sink burp” and chunks of veggie and dirty water go flying all over our kitchen and us!
Believe it or not we don’t have a garbage disposal. I keep telling my husband that I need one, but since we have a septic tank he says it’s not good to put all that stuff down the drain. So, something like this would be wonderful and then I wouldn’t have to go picking everything up out of the sink trying not to get anything down the drain.
I have yet to find a veggie peeler that actually works good – I’d love this!
I need this because I always end up wasting so much of the veggie when i’m peeling it with a knife!
my hands are old and arthritic but my heart is young so i still love to cook sunday dinners for my big family
i could sure use some help on all those veggies.I think this might be just the trick to get sunday dinner
done on time and I know the grandkids on cleanup duty will appreceate less cleanup
I try to do my peeling in the sink because I make such a mess. this is a great product I would use daily
This tool is very cool.
The A peelings receiving chamber made of durable acrylic is very cool feature. I hate cleaning up peelings.
I need a veggie peel because I HATE peeling over the trash can and then dropping my veggie in there, it’d be awesome to be able to just peel over the counter and not have a mess to clean up after
I can never manage to peel without cutting myself, this looks like it would help! Our garbage disposal also just went out so having a quick clean-up without clogging the drain would be awesome!
i need one because all i eat is vegetables, pretty much!
I need one of these because mine stinks. It’s blade is bent and it gouges the food. I also love that it collects the shavings…less mess is always good for me.
i need a veggie peel because i make horrible messes when i attempt to peel veggies. I think if i had this i’d eat more veggies too.
I could really use this. When I slice veggies the peels fly all over the place and I have a huge mess. This would be great! Thank you!
This would make my life easier.
I need one because I want to keep my counter, cabinets and floor clean! AND, I’m right-handed married to left-handed hubby, so we would each be comfortable using this clever gadget!

My 4-year-old son loves vegetables (I’m so proud!)
This would be a great addition to our kitchen. … the carrot cake sounds delish!
WOW!! What a great product!! I would love to have this because my old peeler broke, and of course anything to help speed up cleaning up is a must. Thanks for the contest GLTA!
We started composting this summer, and have a small countertop scrap collector. This would be perfect for depositing the peels into the scrap collector.
It just seems so easy to use count me in for this one please.
I can always use this – so useful!
This would make peeling less of a chore!
I really want to get back to having NO EXCUSES to being vegetarian!
I need this because I don’t have *any* vegetable peeler right now!
I need one because I’m LAZY!!!!
I have a old nasty peeler!
This would be awesome!!
Thank you for the great giveaway! 
Going green is so important todsy.
Anything to make kitchen duty easier-I am definitely not the best in the kitchen and this looks fantastic!
I hate to cook anything that makes it easier would help
These are such a great idea. This is a safe and much needed product for every home. Every family member can be safe using this peeler. Somehow my peeler has up and dissapeared. I don’t know if the junk food ghost stoled it so we can’t eat healthy or the borrowers under the house took it, either way I no longer have a peeler and with the holidays coming up this is one much needed tool in my house. Thank you for all your time, effort and energy to put these contests together for all of us a chance to win some awesome prizes.

This would be so wonderful – less cleanup is always good.

This would certainly make peeling veggies a neater job. And easier to empty the peels into the compost bowl too.

I would like one so it would be easier to eat more fresh veggies. I could always use a little bit of encouragement when trying to eat healthy!
I have only had one really good veggy peeler in over 40 years… Finding a qualify version of this essential kitchen tool is a true challenge. I would love to own one that I could treasure for the rest of my life!
Oh, what a cool idea! We have a tiny kitchen, so anything that helps save space and keeps the mess to a minimum is fab. Thanks!
What an excellent idea; anything that makes clean up a breeze is what I need for my kitchen.
I would love this because my husband has been going apple crazy.

I like the light-weight rubberized easy grip handle. thanks for the contest.
I don’t like cleaning up the peels, but will do it. But, on those rare occasions when my husband cooks, he always leaves his peels for me to clean up and that really annoys me.
I have not had a new peeler since 1962 – when I got married – I’m past due for this
This looks so easy to use, anything that can help us eat more vegetables would be great!
