I have been doing that. However, I was looking for a better way since
when standing at the sink, peeling, my back really hurts. And because

I may just end up getting a wider peeler and maybe I won't hate doing
it so much. This looks promising and will certainly take up a lot less
room than one of the "machines" that would probably end up being junk:
