Abstract
A peeler attachment for an electric appliance includes a frame having a central slot therein and a blade disposed centrally of the slot. The blade includes first and second cutting edges at opposed sides thereof. The cutting edges are spaced from the central slot to form first and second entry channels into the slot. The blade includes first and second surfaces facing the slot shaped to provide continuously increasing exit channels whereby any tendency for peelings to become wedged in the exit channels is avoided. A shank for locking the peeler attachment into the electric appliance is preferably unitary with the blade. First and second locking notches in the shank permit installation of the peeler attachment in first and second rotational positions angularly separated by 180 degrees, whereby both right-handed and left-handed user are accommodated.
