@Avalikia5 жыл бұрын
I agree with you, but at the same time I feel the need to point out that perception is huge from a marketing standpoint. If something seems flimsy and likely to break, that's a design flaw whether or not it's actually true - fewer people will give it a try and the product won't sell as well. It can be worth it to a product designer to add totally superficial 'reinforcement' elements to their product so that it seems sturdier for that reason alone.
@thomastighe70605 жыл бұрын
@@Avalikia I just think the 1 rating on willing to buy on a perceived durability is a fairly weak assessment on that metric alone when it performed the function admirably. In many of these videos he does not comment on the durability on a given product. I know I have a perception bias on this. Heck I have even dropped it a few times and my wife did not know. I agree it could be better but taking it from a 4/5 rating in the other two categories but than say not to buy it. If he snapped a piece off in the video I would fully agree but it was only perceived as well not a demonstration of it breaking (which he has another product).

Spot on about the issues with adjusting the Potato express. You get a little used to it after a while, but there were some really simple ergonomic adjustments that wouldn't have altered the sleek appearance, and would have greatly improved usability. It does *feel* a little cheaper than you'd like, but we've been using ours for a while, and we haven't even had to replace the blade yet. It does come with a little tool for extracting the eyes, and shaving/cutting off the top and bottom skin does take a few extra seconds - But it you need to peel MANY potatoes, you can do that after loading the next one, and it can save a lot of time in the long run. Plus if you want to use the skins in anything (fried potato skins, vegetable spaghetti) - it's a nice fairly even strip that it shaves off.

In Northern Europe it's really common to use potato peeling gloves for new potatoes in early summer. They are really small potatoes that have a really thin papery skin that's difficult to remove with a knife or a peeler without sacrificing too much of the potato itself, so rubbing them with something coarse is the optimal way to go. You're not supposed to use them for already cooked bigger potatoes.

Love my Potato Express, especially when I have a ton of potatoes to peel. Also with toss the peels afterward with a bit of olive oil and salt into the air fryer for a krispy fry treat, also great with apples and their peelings. If you have a hard time with hand mobility this bit of equipment is a game changer in meal preps.

All other food videos I watch seem to argue that single purpose appliances are garbage, so there seems to be a big anti-trend about even using "kitchen gadgets" at all. That's why I find this guy a breath of fresh air. He's not against having gadgets, he just improves them.

I have a rotato express, and for me it is great! The biggest tip I can give for using it is: When in operation rest a finger on the top arm with just a little pressure to keep the spike from backing out.

Best peeler for potatoes, carrots, beets, ginger and the like is literally a spoon. Nothing beats it. Press thumb against the back and face the edge down, and peel away from you using the edge to scrape. Easier and less wasteful than a knife (even if you're amazing with a knife, you will still cut away some of the flesh - although you can nearly nullify this using the back of the knife to scrape instead of cutting with the sharp edge), just as fast or faster, and you can't cut yourself either. Even plastic spoons work.

I would say the potato mitts are meant for use under running water which could raise the question of wasting water... It would be interesting to see their performance if the potato skin is constantly being washed away, therefore, increasing usability for more surface area to peel with.

There's actually this garlic peeler thing, it's essentially just a flexible rubber tube with tiny little rubber teeth on the inside, it's super easy to use (just roll it on a hard surface with garlic inside) and is surprisingly useful. No this isn't an ad, I don't even remember the brand I got it from. But it was awesome
