So tempting to just click add-to-cart then place order. I'm trying to stop impulse buying on Amazon so I'm going to think about it for 48 hours then impulse buy it
We have this - BUY EET!
Indeed!
When you've got about 60# of apples to get through in a day, you'll thank me.
Apparently this little invention has been around for awhile whilst I spent hours and hours with a paring knife. No more!
It peels, it slices, it cores...it damn near eats them for you.
It even makes julienne fries (props to the Bassomatic).
Works great for apples sucks for Russet (large) potatoes About 3-3/4" is about the max length you can peel and spiral. Maybe I'll give it a try with a smaller type of potato this week.

Thanks a lot, Bald1!! Just got this on my doorstep yesterday.
"If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

Alton Brown reviews Amazon's dumbest kitchen gadgets came up while I was looking at a different video. He reviews one of the gadgets talked about in this thread. The review of the Rollie really cracked me up .
I'll also admit, I have a pair of bear claws for shredding meat...
It’s an excellent utensil for slicing soft to medium cheese. Very neat cuts, so easy to clean, and takes almost no drawer space.
The wire is likely to break if you try to slice hard cheese. I broke one on cold aged cheddar. But have several spare wires, and I probably won’t break another – I’ve learned my lesson. I bought mine (and the spare wires) at Crate & Barrel.
Serious about crackers.

Took a quick look and didn't see them mentioned but I use these all the time:
Just search for herb scissors, or here's a set for $10. Make it easy to add a whole bunch of green onions and dill to some tuna or egg salad, etc, etc.

They are get for making mashed potatoes. My favorite is half and half cauliflower and Yukon Gold potatoes.

I tried these and went back to steaming the eggs in a pan of water.
They say to add oil so they won't stick and then you have to boil a lot of water which takes longer and wastes energy.
I like my eggs soft boiled so it may work it you cook them longer. I had trouble getting them out even with oil coating the sides. They are a little small for jumbo eggs.

My fave grocery offers a large selection of excellent domestic and imported cheese. Yesterday I noticed that they use a largish machine with a wire to cut large wheels and blocks into smaller pieces for sale. Possibly motor driven – couldn’t see well enough to be sure of that. But a wire is certainly the best choice for cutting cheese.
Got it at some chef party Mrs Mike hosted ten years ago...it’s moved TWICE. First thing I did when we said we were moving to Texas, I took it down from under a cabinet and put it in my luggage.
Got one for my bro who has arthritis since he was 7, he loves it. You grab the bottom of the can or jar, shove it in there and twist, easy peasy.
ETA: Mrs Mike just said it’s from pampered chef. It says it can open jars from 3 1/2” or smaller...will this help VTail? If so INSTANT KARMA I will have one sent to you.
Send me an email if you can use it, my email is in my profile, please put sigforum in the subject line
You have mail, and THANK YOU!
It arrived -- a week or three ago. I should have posted a big "thank you" but I was waiting to get a photo or two. I'm still waiting for pictures, but no more delay; I thank you, my wife thanks you, and my no longer as strong as they used to be, pre-arthritic hands, thank you. Your generosity is appreciated.
