You may have spent $8 on those mitts and gotten nothing out of it, but that potato's never felt more limber!
Damn bruh you still alive I remember watching you back when you did stalker let's plays
😂😂😂
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
@@PURGRuthlessYT1 I am! Just coming back actually, recently started doing some game reviews. That's crazy that you still remember me!
@@perochialjoe how can I forget such an iconic name and profile pic for me, I watched every video of yours up until dishonored when your posts dropped a lot
I believe the gloves are for peeling boiled potatoes. Anyways, great video!!
That's my bet as well.
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
They are not meant for raw potatoes
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
Yeah, you need to put the potato in boiling water for a bit to loosen the skin and then they work pretty well.
Absolutely love these videos. I have no intention of buying any products you review, but you make ordinary reviews into highly entertaining and rather professional reviews that we all love. Keep it up!
I've bought a few products that have reviewed well and I feel I need in my life. Haven't found a video I don't like though, however the older ones don't have the best sound.
Asshole
this is us, we like watching while having dinner
@@WAFFLE-il6tv Huh?
I think the gloves are for cleaning a RAW potato and PEELING a cooked potato. If I'm remembering right. Try the potato boiled next time.
Love your videos!!
That makes sense. They should have included instructions saying that though.
That’s what I was wondering about. That makes a lot of sense
But why go that far out of your way when you could just peel it how it is. Im a lazy ass cook i like things easy haha.
Exactly what I was gonna say
Yeah, I’m gonna agree after watching the total fail haha. But in James’ defense, there were no instructions.
My favorite potato peeler is some other person.
Ha!
Love and agree with that comment!
Unpaid intern or a kid you can boss around?
Now imagine the other person having 7 potato peelers.
The other person is using the tater mitts to peel raw potatoes
The seller on Amazon says this about the Tater Mitts: "boil first, skin has to be soft."
Take the peel from the Rotato Express and fry it. You have a long delicious fried potatoe skin. 😋🍟
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.
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.
Air fry it 😉
Nirrrina I do the same thing lmao
Or potato pasta
"I just spent 8 bucks to rub a potato for a few minutes" greatest quote ever man XD
You know them Tater mits might not be good at peeling, BUT I feel like they would be useful for washing potatoes super well for like baked potatoes
Peeling them and rinsing does that pretty well doesn’t it?
@@austinmatney7591 You don't peel baked potatoes.
So the expensive non-functional peeler somehow ranked above the $1 functional peeler?
that's what I'm saying, guy def did betty crocker dirty here
WHATTTTY your telling me there is a tool on a potato peeler that takes out the "eyes" on the potato I had no idea I always cut it off
Love your videos! Still haven't found anyone who compares to your quality and depth of reviews. Thank you.
When you were using those gloves, I think the potato said "Don't stop, I'm almost there."😂
😂😂😂
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!
The apple peeler (and corer) does work well with apples. I have not used it for potatoes (nor plan to).
I have a Titan peeler and I love using it, doesn't make my hands hurt or cramp.
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
Supposed to boil the potatoes than use the mitt but it’s ridiculous regardless. Great videos bud keep up the great work
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.
“Maybe drier would be better” THAT is definitely NOT what she said..
Also, the peel is the best part of the potato.
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
Omg I had to laugh at those tater mitts 😂😂 crazy they may be good for cleaning the potato but not peeling it.
Yeah those potatoes were squeaky clean, but not peeled at all! I should try exfoliating my face with them! haha.
Yeah now that would be a awesome review to see hahaha! I love it ❤
Freakin' Reviews can they be for peeling the potatoess after boiling them?
A clean new sponge will almost peel your potatoes. If you don't mind a very thin skin it works great as is. But I don't like the skin so I clean then peel.
@@EDBailley then they're pointless... just cut the skin all the way around before you boil them, and it will easily slide off. ez pz
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.👍
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.
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.
Just ordered the rotato express thanks to your review. We peel a lot of veggies and apples so this could come in really handy. Love your videos!
In that case, you made a bad choice. Slow and loud doesn't cut it when you have to do a dozen at a time.
@@JakeSnake07 luckily I don't do a dozen at a time.
You have to boil the potatoes for 5 minutes in order for the Tater Mitts to work
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.
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.
"I feel like I'm just giving it a healthy glow" ROTFL!
Peeling both directions is a professional food service skill
Love your videos. Thanks for posting
Love this video! I was getting all into it, even taking notes! It was then that I realized, I always keep the peels on my potatoes... LOL... Baked, fried, etc. I love that electric one. Might end up in my unnecessary kitchen gadgets cupboard! Thanks, as always!
My favorite is still a brand-new and clean toilet brush, a drill, and a bucket of water.
Your videos are so good ! I actually buy based on your reviews! :)
Potato gloves .you have to boil the potatoes for 5 minutes . My favorite review Channel.
I would just use those tater mits to just scrub the potatoes and use a regular peeler.
I just use a new sponge or the sponge that's only been used on potatoes and set aside for that. Then it graduates to dishes, sink etc.
Love your videos and this one had me in side-splitting laughter watching you try to peel a raw potato with those gloves. I'm still giggling! Laughing with you my friend! I really needed that belly laugh! Seriously though - enjoy your videos very much!! :)
I don't expect you to go out and spend $500 on the Bteville 16 cup Peel & Dice, but the potato peeling disc really does an AMAZING job of peeling up to 7 potatoes at once in seconds! It really works!
All the nutrition of a potato is in the skin. So you're throwing away what is good for you about potatoes. 😂 The mitts and the spiralyzer are a riot! A sucker is born every minute.
8:20 - Rolf, "The waste from this peel could feed a whole village for a week!"
Great video. Very illustrative to know which peeler to buy. Thanks.
My favorite potato peeler is my husband... Thanks for sharing another great video. Keep up the great work. ATB : )
I swear by my Titan Peeler. Just wish they would sell two peelers in one package rather than a julienne peeler and a regular peeler. I have had mine for near a decade and love it! Have I used the julienne peeler...maybe 5 times. But I have more than used my money's worth. It is still sharp as heck and works amazing to this day! 💗💗💗
That apple peeler works quite well on, well, apples. When I used to volunteer in the kindergarten near home, the kids are encouraged to bring an apple to snack on, and they all got super excited when it was snack time and one of the teachers brought out the apple peeler from the staff room. After peeling, coring and slicing, the apple would resemble a slinky and the children would have great fun playing and eating them. I must admit that I also brought my own apples just so I could have my own slinky, and for some reason it did taste nicer that way :)
use mine every day. i’m an apple freak!
I use the Rotato electric one to peel almost EVERYTHING, and if u keep peeling over the same part, you get noodles! How i make zucchini noodles. on Amazon, i paid 12$ for it! Worth it!
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.
If nothing else, those potato gloves got the potatoes REALLY clean. I've never seen such clean taters!
Today i've got 7 potato peeler
*box in the corner* :APPLE PEELER
I like the "Y" style peelers. Actually in culinary school after our initial knife roll kit the instructors said "the best peeler is a cheap dollar store peeler, don't waste your money on a fancy peeler".. Seema accurate to me.
LMAO a high rise condo in Dubai!!! 😂😂😂 it's so adorable that you would think of something like that.
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 FREAKIN LOVE ME SOME FREAKIN REVIEWS
potato mitts might be for cleaning the potato if you want to eat it skin on not peeling it.
It's for peeling after boiling. Idea is that instead of peeling potatoes before throwing them in the water when making mashed potatoes or potato salad, just boil whole then use the mitts to pull off the skin.
Buy ''AUTO PEELER MACHINE''
in JUST $20 on Amazon amzn.to/3he1sOg
I gave up making mashed potatoes yesterday trying to peel with mobility issue until I saw the Rotato Express, thank you! And as a bonus feature the kids could jump rope with the peel. Ahahaha 😁
I love the rotato. If you're making a meal you can just sit one in there start it up, get to working on something else and then come back to it and start over.
I have been debating for months on the rotator express .... just ordered! Thanks james!!!
“I just spent 8 bucks to rub a potato for a couple minutes” has me crying with laughter 😂
You are having way too much fun playing with your food!! Something tells me this was a childhood issue maybe??? 😂😂😉👍👵
Do I eat potatoes? No. Do I cook at all? Nope. But I will happily watch this!
Have the Oxo peeler, it is ok. The handle is good when your hands ate wet for grip wh7ch is
a- Peeling...
Right. The selling point is the soft grip. And you really notice how good it is when you peel a lot of potatoes.
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.
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
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!!!
We have the Rotato (ours is green and called something different) it is amazing. Peels almost anything. Fun to use and works great. Those gloves are for holding the potato while you peel it.
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 :)
I have the rotato and I love it as it’s great for disabled people and arthritic people as sometimes you’re not able to properly hold the potato and peel it manually
Oh yeah, I picked up that apple peeler at a garage sale for 50 cents a while ago. Works beautifully on apples. Cores it and everything.
Wash every peeler in the dishwasher and try them again. Some of them will stand out after that.
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
I have an 'aversion' to peeling potatoes...ugh...So, I bought a Rotato as you suggested...exact one...and it is wonderful. It can peel a potato faster than I can cut one in pieces to be boiled for mashing. Thank you!
Tater mitts : Bpil the potatoes for at least five minutes before you peel under cold water with the gloves.
I have the titan. I like that it doesn't leave the potato smooth so it's easier tip grab and not slip as much.
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
The tater mitts look like the safety gloves you can use to grab fish when fishing to avoid nasty fin cuts- they don’t take scales off, I couldn’t imagine trying to take potato skin off!
I'm glad you reviewed the glove things. The commercial has stayed with me for years.
Watching potatoes being peeled for no particular reason at 4am....
Always love your videos, even though I would never use many of the things you review. The potato peeler gloves are simply repurposed chemical resistant ones. I deliver fuel daily, 99% of the time loading in Vegas. The ones we have are blue instead of orange. Was pretty entertained watching you try to peel potatoes with gloves I carry in my truck!
With the mitts, I would boil the potato first, then peel it before mashing, etc using the gloves. That would probably make them work better, but nothing is better than a friggin standard peeler.
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
nothing beats a good old knife and some skills. Can peel up to 8 potato per minutes. No machine will ever beat that.
Brilliant as always 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍. Next, try electric Potato Peelers Vs manual/other potato peelers. Also, PLEASE review potatoe chippers both manual or electric. 👍👍👍👍
I thought for a second that the gloves were the hot hands 😄
CORRECTION:
Yes, Jodie Simpson is absolutely, dead-on correct. The Tater mitts are made exactly for washing / scrubbing clean raw potatoes and other vegetables. And does it gently and easily, but most of all cleanly remove the peel from potatoes and other vegetables that have been boiled, roasted or have otherwise had their skins softened. Like roasted Chili Peppers and bell peppers Etc.
How about another test of vegetable washing/scrubbing tools/gadgets? Go grab those Tater Mitts off of the shelf and give them a proper run , doing what they are made to do, the way the way they are designed to do it?! At the very least, I believe you'll be quite impressed with them. Sincerely,
Yvonne Quartuccio (via Tim Richards)
>> For the Tater Mitts your suppose to boil the potatoes for a couple minutes first and then rub the skin off. Takes a little prep work.
As a child of a left hander, the potato peelers that go both ways will work for households with right and left handed people.
Potato gloves look like it would clean a bunch of potatoes but that's it.
For heaven’s sake - I never knew that little thing on the end was an eye remover! I learned something!
We use our Apple Peeler corer for making curly Fries! You need the older ones that clamp onto the edge of the counter.
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
I love Rotato Express, and I have the cordless one, which is great if you don't like to be tethered to a cord. Another thing that's good about it is, after you've peeled it, let it keep rotating and you can make shoestring potatoes.......put the strings in a bowl with a little oil, salt, pepper, garlic and toss them into an air fryer. It's not just a peeler, it multi-tasks and becomes a spiralizer.
James you just created the Potato El Khalifa!!
Titans are great I have had mine for 10 years or so and it is consistently my go-to peeler. The julienne thingy actually works too. Both fun and easy to use and clean.
We had got 2 bushels of apples. 1 bushel at a time using the starfrit peeler. We did 20 apples at a time. Yes you have to peel top and bottom and the core is there. But wow did it go faster. We put apples in the freeze for pies. I took the peels and cores and made apple juice for drinking, jellies, and syrup. Use it for potatoes too. Best money spent.
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!
We have one of those manual rotating peelers at home and you have to turn the spring tension up for potatoes. Kind of a pain!
wow i was just surfing your channel to rewatch some of your videos while at work and i find a new upload, perfect timing!
My favorite is the chef'n peeler. It goes over your finger and you just go palm down to use the peeler. It's weird at first - but I love it.
Gloves were HILARIOUS!!!!!!
I'd rat them the same except I'd switch 1 & 2 because you still have to use another peeler to get the top & bottom!
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.
