7 Potato Peelers Compared and Tested!

[@golf4jr95]

I believe the gloves are for peeling boiled potatoes. Anyways, great video!!

[@golemcone]

That's my bet as well.

[@killadeath565]

They are, used to be working in a restaurant peeling boiled potatoes for home fries those gloves would have been better than just using a knife to scrape

[@kamala2111]

They are not meant for raw potatoes

[@Xploit66]

I don't really understand how he can make these simple mistakes over and over again. He needs to research the products a bit more before he "reviews" them

[@froggycaptain1533]

Yeah, you need to put the potato in boiling water for a bit to loosen the skin and then they work pretty well.

[@perochialjoe]

You may have spent $8 on those mitts and gotten nothing out of it, but that potato's never felt more limber!

[@PURGRuthlessYT1]

Damn bruh you still alive I remember watching you back when you did stalker let's plays

[@tcjnz86]

😂😂😂

[@riggarobable]

I use these , believe it or not and the reason is that I don't like to boil my potatoes, I like to bake them. don't laugh now, I put a little bit of dawn on the gloves , that's right Dawn and run it under a little bit of hotish water and then scrub all the dirt and grime off the potatoes which still leaves the peel but leaves me with a clean potato to bake! Try it in that vein and you maybe more welcoming to the idea of what they can do, oppose what they were made to do. Semper Fi, Robbie

Take the peel from the Rotato Express and fry it. You have a long delicious fried potatoe skin. 😋🍟

[@Nirrrina]

That's what I was thinking! Then I realized you could do a batter similar to onion strips/blooming onion. Basically a liquidy batter. Then flash fry it. I'd try it both ways myself. That could make a wonderful appetizer. Could you imagine just a huge plate of it. Surrounded with various dips and little plates to put yours in. Actually it probably wouldn't hit the plate with me around. I have a bad habit of eating while I'm cooking.

[@fjqtaxch9]

After it's skinned - cut into the potato lengthwise and continue cutting the potato until no potato is left in order to get skinny potato strips to fry up.

Supposed to boil the potatoes than use the mitt but it’s ridiculous regardless. Great videos bud keep up the great work

[@xxXthekevXxx]

James we have that apple peeler and your potatoes were falling off because you didn’t have them pushed on the spikes all the way 😂 also they missed spots because the tension on the blade needs to be adjusted for potatoes (light tension for apples, high for potatoes.) Potatoes are tough-skinned. That electric one performed faaaar better though!

[@WisdomFolly]

The apple peeler (and corer) does work well with apples. I have not used it for potatoes (nor plan to).

[@gratefuldead4605]

I bought the Rotato Express for my folks and it worked so well I bought one for myself. My mom uses it to peel apples for apple pie as well.

[@jamjams690]

I've had my rotator express for almost 2 years now and I love it the first blade is just now starting to dull, but it still works like a champ, I have a bad back and if you peel a lot of potatoes this is for you and it also saves your hands, Only thing I wish they had done on it as make the spikes at the bottom removable for easier cleaning

[@baronvg]

I’m REALLY loving and appreciating the steady stream of content lately, James!! Btw that potato reminded me of the teleportation pod from The Fly 1986! Haha

[@David-wo9un]

Very entertaining review video James. I am impressed by your dedication to your fans doing a 7 peeler comparison. I was so disappointed that the tater mitts failed miserably since the concept itself is pretty cool. The Magic Trio seems very nice but using it in an upward direction seems like an ER visit waiting to happen. Anyway, from what I saw, I agree with your rankings.👍

[@DeltaDemon1]

I've had the Oxo for 19 years and it still works just as well as when I bought it without any maintenance. I had the Betty Crocker for two years and threw it out. It works great initially but it wears down quickly...at least the one I had. I did pay 5.95 for the Oxo versus 2$ for the BC, though.

[@Goosefang]

“Maybe drier would be better” THAT is definitely NOT what she said.. Also, the peel is the best part of the potato.

Love your videos. FWIW: I have the Spiralizer. Admittedly, I've only used on apples (a case for applesauce) but I struggled with it until I got it adjusted. The base can be adjusted as can the tension on the arm doing the peeling. For potatoes, I use peeler similar to the #2. I like peeling from the end. Like you, I don't trust myself to peel in both directions.

[@SpottedBullet]

The REX peeler by ZENA Swiss. Everyone is copying it now but only the original works and lasts. 100% metal, stays sharp forever and made in Switzerland.

[@Info.isfree.openmind]

Spirallizer, you need to tighten all the nuts and bolts when you get it home but I use it for my apples and this is the best way to eat apples now. I know it’s for canning fruit but I enjoy it so much for peel the apples just wonderful. My kid loves eating apples now we have this. Great for lunch’s and a snack on the way to work. So many different options quick and easy to eat apple. A min of work for a great snack. All right I’m done I can’t say enough how much I enjoyed this product!!!

[@CrimFerret]

Hmmm, The only problem with the Magic Trio one is it looks like it might be easy to break and wouldn't hold up. The electric one is just silly and you'd have to pull out a peeler or knife to deal with the ends not to mention cleanup would be a pain. I suspect I'd likely go with either the OXO or Magic Trio or even just good sharp paring knife.

[@NobleManager]

wow i was just surfing your channel to rewatch some of your videos while at work and i find a new upload, perfect timing!

[@MsWinterlife]

That apple peeler works quite well on, well, apples. When I used to volunteer in the kindergarten near home, the kids are encouraged to bring an apple to snack on, and they all got super excited when it was snack time and one of the teachers brought out the apple peeler from the staff room. After peeling, coring and slicing, the apple would resemble a slinky and the children would have great fun playing and eating them. I must admit that I also brought my own apples just so I could have my own slinky, and for some reason it did taste nicer that way :)

[@Valspartame_Maelstrom]

use mine every day. i’m an apple freak!

[@undenyme2026]

I've had my titan peeler for over 10 years now. I still use it regularly and it works as good today as it did the first day I got it. Never had to sharpen it or anything. It melts through potatoes like butter. So for the price point you are getting your money's worth for longevity. 10/10 would recommend!

I love your videos. Researching a new peeler to help my wife out. She has issues with her hands when peeling. And im not always home to peel them for her and she loves to have dinner ready for me. I personally love the Betty crocker one. It works alot better if you pull towards yourself

[@spacecake1580]

Just a heads up, the Spiralizer (hand turning peeler) has a set screw to move the blade in closer and make it easier, sadly, no, flat potatoes dont work well on it, however we prefer it over our electric peeler because of the spiraling effect, allows you to cook it faster.

[@Jspackman]

Don’t know if this is necessarily an as seen on tv only review. But the cutco peeler is shockingly good. A little expensive. But has peeled tons of veg around here and is still a joy to use.

Hey James! I actually have the tater mitts. You wanna boil the potatoes for a few minutes to loosen the skin up and the use the mitts to peel them.

There was a key feature you left out of the spiralizer potato peeler. that shiny metal looped thing at the front (by the blade) is what keeps the potato against the spikes so it doesn't fall off.

I figured that Rotato Express would work perfectly. That design has been out probably 40+ years, the YTer EmmyMadeInJapan did a review on one called the "Daisy Stripper" from a thrift store. They'll also do apples, pears and basically anything that will fit in them perfectly other than the very top and bottom.

Back in about 1983, we had a Rotato. But back then it was called a Dazey Stripper. I LOVED it as a kid. I would keep using it until the potato was just a stub and use it to make hashbrowns. I just bought a Rotato because of you, btw. Thank you :)

[@rikspector]

The gloves are for cleaning the surface ,not peeling. I would use them for that because I often cook potatoes with the skin on. The electric makes a beautiful potato, but so what, hand peeling is faster and nearly as good. Magic trio seems the best bet because they are multi-purpose. Cheers, Rik Spector

[@marks5777]

Interesting. I would have reversed the Betty Crocker and the spiralizer. As you pointed out, the spiralizer was more expensive than the rotato and did not get all of the peal off. The Betty Crocker peeler may not have been outstanding, but it did remove all of the peel and was only $1.00!

[@islagkage15963]

The tater mitts would likely work for fresh spring/summer potatoes. As they have super thin skin and just need some of the outermost layer removed along with the dirt

[@thepinkflamingostrikesagai7319]
