7 Potato Peelers Compared and Tested!

[@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

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.

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

I have been using the same titan peeler for over 10 years, my dad bought one for both of us from a catalog or as seen on tv thing and I have loved it since.

[@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).

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.

[@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.👍

[@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!!!

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

[@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 :)

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.

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.

The only thing in it's favor is the price the handle is not very ergonomic for holding. The Titan is still the best.

Have I used the julienne peeler...maybe 5 times. But I have more than used my money's worth. It is still sharp as heck and works amazing to this day! 💗💗💗

[@FantomLightning]

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.

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

[@edwardkellogg1284]

I can say those gloves you can use for loosening oil filters when you change your oil. Your number one choice is pretty cool. There are recipes for potato skins for when you peel them.

[@casams1992]

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. The mitts are thick enough so you won’t burn your hands. I truly only use them for when I’m making any meals that require boiling them first. Hope this helps!

[@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!

[@loeysmob]

I have the Apple peeler one and have found it works great on more round potatoes. We get mainly Kestrel potatoes here and it works great on them if I can be bothered to grab it out etc. Otherwise we have a culinaire peeler that’s 20yrs old and still sharp.

[@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

[@permeus2nd]

3:02 I have that one though I didn’t pay any where near that price, dam you got ripped off I payed like £4 for mine, but I actually find I use it mostly when we haven’t refilled the grated cheese and I need some to mix into stuff of for beans& cheese on toast. It also works super well on frozen chocolate for garnishing stuff. Side note it also works really well on fingernails and skin so be careful, I actually tested it on wood and it went through it just like the potato.

I've been thru 3 spiralizers. They all stopped sticking to the counter and the last one did what yrs did but I bought it at Target for $7. I still use it when making apple pie to cut and core the apple. Have to hold it down with one hand, 2nd hand at times to hold the cutter and my third hand to turn the handle. Jeese, we all need 3 arms. 😆

[@Boot_185]

The spiralizer works great on apples. Thats what we use when we do our apples for canning and apple sauce. Also there is a little lever below the part you spin with the handle you push that (has a small spring on it) and the arm just slides all the way back

[@ryestarr3]

[@adamwaynert6962]

it may have already been said, but the gloves are for peeling "New Potatoes" Here in denmark we have such things and the peels are very easy to remove they are never really removed, but they are almost no existent with a good rub... people use brushes for the same effect

[@meezerluvr]

Great review. I can't say I would have put the apple peeler above the Betty Crocker, though. You would end up using the latter to finish off the potato after the former didn't really do the job.

[@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!

[@IMDARKFIRE007]

The gloves stand on their own as decent grip cleaning gloves I think. Will be interesting to see if he follows up on them and tries what people are saying they are meant for, boiled potatoes. the rotating one is flat out cool, and would be a Godsend to a family member with use of only one hand.

For the peal from the Rotato Express you can either deep fry it or back it in the oven and have a nice snack. But you have to wash the potatoes first

13:41 so ied flip the number 3 and 2 spots around as I can get that magic trio peeler for about £0.50 but I don’t bother as over time that thin plastic snaps and like I said the Titan one ived used on wood and it’s still good, I’ve had mine for over 5 years and the better build material is worth the extra price in my book.

[@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.
