New kitchen gadget

10 years ago

My sister showed me this neat new kitchen gadget and I had to have one too. I am using it frequently. It is an automatic fruit and vegetable peeler shredder. It is pretty neat to see it work. I have used it to make shoestring potatoes, zucchini strips, peel apples. I just did some potatoes and dried them with paper towels, heated a couple tablespoons of coconut oil in a ceramic skillet and dropped a bunch at a time, flattening it out flip it once and put on paper towels, it's similar to airy hash brown patties. Excellent. My sister got hers on QVC, I got mine on eBay for a few dollars less. It is very well priced. The name is MCM MARKCHARLES Misilli rapid peeler. You must watch the videos of it in use. It has a cool factor. There's a video link on the QVC site. I have pictures of my yummy fries.

One of my friends got something similar called a "Vegetti" (I think). She has been on a diet for nearly a year and says this gadget helps her create delicious dishes with veggies. I think they are worth it, both gadgets.

No hand or finger strength here, which is why I was intrigued by the garlic press. It looks similar to my Cuisipro garlic press, which I can set on the counter and lean into to mince garlic. Of course the design isn't quite the same, but the cup is stainless, which is where the Cuisipro could have made improvements. I appreciate Metaxa, that minced garlic isn't your thang, but I like it since it works well in the dishes I like to prepare. Garlic presses are highly personal, like which car you choose to drive and for what reason. There has been much discussion at the CF about them in the past. Yes, the steamer basket works great; my sister bought one for her rv, which made perfect sense to me. I also thought for the rv, the dual cheese grater was a good choice, as you can slice two different ways, the full length of the grater with one tool. The other tools seemed well designed to me, and because of my lack of hand strength, I love any tool that ratchets, as I find them easiest to use.

I got my Breville today! Very prompt shipping, especially with Labour Day yesterday!! I was in the midst of processing my cucumbers, onions and peppers when I got the delivery. I tried to buy cucumbers on Sat and not a cuke was to be found in 3 stores. Grrrrrr. They were advertised in the flyer, so I went today hoping that a shipment came in. There they were. I wanted to get my relish started, and not knowing for sure that I would get my "new kitchen toy" I borrowed my old processor from a friend and went to work. Not to worry, I'll be trying the Breville out soon and give a report. Everything feels quite nice and sturdy and well made.

Sheshebop, I am another Sherry whose nickname is Sheshe, or often Sheesh. My wishlist: A Cuisinart FP, an oven stone and More Space! I can't bring myself to get rid of any of my stuff, and I just acquired all of my dad's stuff, too. I am getting a kick out of using his stuff (my brother got Dad's Cuisinart - nuts), but where to put it all? Also, a bigger Slow Cooker and a Santoku knife. I do love my Mezzaluna for all sorts of jobs, though. I really need to purge my kitchen....so I can buy more stuff!

Don't throw it away! If you don't want it box it up and send it to Cathy. She collects funny kitchen gadgets. My father taught me to make huge spaetzle noodles. Dumpling he called them. A dozen eggs cracked into a bowl, flour until it is fairly stiff dough, and a half a handful of parsley. Dropped from a spoon into a pot of boiling water. Tip.. wet the spoon in a cup of water bewteen each spoonful of dough so it won't stick... push off into the water with your finger. I've also seen my father roll this dough out on a floured cutting board and cut it into strips for stroganoff noodles. One of my variations that is very delicious is to substitute spinach flour. They take to most any gravy and can be added to soups (don't cook them in the soup). My youngest sister likes them buttered with parmeasan cheese. My father often cooked a chicken, made gravy, and these spaetzle noodles to go with the gravy. After awhile he started leaving the chicken on the stove because everyone ate spaetzle and gravy until they were full. Give them a try Bobby. They are easy to make and difficult to get wrong. They float when cooked and you can even overcook them some without making them bad. They keep in the fridge and reheat perfectly in a microwave. : ) lyra

I bought things at the grocery store so I could try more. I got turnips, I can't peel them at all any more with my hands. And apples and a big sweet potato. I am looking forward to the sweet potato strings. I meant to get zucchini and forgot. It is awesome for those that have hand issues.

I do have hand issues too, Raven. Both hands. My left wrist was broken and badly pinned by a doctor....left me with a hand that looks like a flipper, and my right hand was badly injured when I was less than five years old by a gunshot and a 3rd degree burn. I could use it fine for many years but now I have arthritis in both hands.

Oh that's right I remember you telling us about that. Well the reason my nephew bought it for my sister, his mom, was because her hands have really gotten deformed from arthritis and he thought it would help her. I thought that was so sweet. It is small and doesn't take much storage room and thankfully it's very light to carry. I bought a plug that has a USB port on it for the kitchen and this plugs right into that. It does run on batteries too. I prefer to plug it in. It works exactly how the video shows. Pretty fast too. My blade part got a wad of potatoes stuck in it once doing all the potato strings but I just snapped off the blade part, squeeze with 2 fingers to release it, used a toothpick to poke it out rinsed it clean and continued on.

Your welcome! I know many here do have hand issues, I thought this might be helpful. And it's a very reasonable price. I peeled my apple last night it was perfect!
