      @Kirsty Zubrinich - Thanks for the tip, that is very much appreciated that. I guess you can’t expect miracles. I just wanted to see if it could completely remove the job in hand. I think cutting down oversized potatoes would help. Your feedback is much appreciated 🙋🏻‍♂️😀RTF

    I tried similar sized potatoes and it did work better. Another great bonus is it roughs up the edges nicely for roasties!

      @Bella R - thanks for the tip. I actually used these spuds for roasties too. Another bonus when using these for roasties is that it rinses the starch if too! Win win. Thanks for stopping by and supporting my channel, I really appreciate it 🙋🏻‍♂️😀RTF

    We received the peeler AND the Cutter (mandolin) just a few days ago. We're going to try the cutter as I prep this evening to see if it helps with the chares of assembling a salad.

      We used it tonight for "easy peasy" slicing. Tomatoes for my wife to have a "Tomato Sandwich" (An American thing?) AND Carrots, celery, and cucumber for salads (I have a "Crank Panky" - pancreatitis) so salads, and spices are very good for me (Think Indian Cuisine as well). The salad slicing took 20 minutes off prep time👍. The cutter/mandolin worked perfectly. The tomato we cut in half, so a bit of liquid, but a smaller one would have been perfect - Cleanup was easier than anything else on the TM6_@@RichieTheFoodie We will still want to see your review!

    I’ve used it and it works fantastically. I think it’s because your potatoes are uneven sizes. I’ve tried it with apples and it doesn’t work on them.

    So yesterday I made galbi-jjim which requires that you make perfect spheres out of daikon radish and carrots. It was wildly time-consuming to do. I think if I got the bits into roughly round shapes then this tool would probably do a great job of finishing them off into perfect roundness.

    Thank you Richy, I've been wondering about that.
    As white and as thick as that water is you're pouring down the drain tells me the grater (located on the peeler), is also grating the potatoes. Which means you're wasting a lot of potato.

    • @RichieTheFoodie
      @RichieTheFoodie  ปีที่แล้ว

      Absolutely, it’s certainly drawing a lot of starch from the potato which definitely indicates that. Well, you can literally see that you loose a lot of the potato. Probably this works better with other vegetables but it’s potatoes which I have to peel the most! Thanks for stopping by 🙋🏻‍♂️😀RTF

    The problem is that the plastic blade cover is no longer available so you have to order the potato peeler. I do think that it should be included.

    • @RichieTheFoodie
      @RichieTheFoodie  ปีที่แล้ว

      @Bev Brown - I absolutely agree. It means there’s a function on the machine that you literally can’t use without the blade cover. That’s the sous vide mode. If you haven’t sous vide cooked before, it’s epic! 🙋🏻‍♂️😀RTF

      @Vitavet - that’s a good point actually, I might have to try that. It makes a proper mess. To be honest I tried this again after the review using smaller potatoes and reduced the load - I’ve decided that it’s more bother than it’s worth. I do understand why some like it though.

    You put too much in the TM6 Richie, I have one for a few Months now and I found it works better with less and your potatoes was quite big and close to the lid so not giving them much room to move and rotate Mate.

      @RichieTheFoodie  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Sheila. I have tired similar size potatoes and it was pretty much the same. Maybe a different variety op potato might be different. What alarms me is how much potato is wasted. Also the you can’t load many at a time. I just feel it’s easier to peel them yourself. Thanks for stopping by and sharing 🙋🏻‍♂️😀RTF

    the problem you have with the peeler is the size of your potatoes if you had cut them in half they would have worked out a lot better , also so stop all the foam add a tablespoon of oil to the water & it wont foam up as bad as it did in the video

    • @RichieTheFoodie
      @RichieTheFoodie  ปีที่แล้ว
