The Rotato Express

Unbelievable! In only 20 seconds (yes, 20 seconds because I timed it) the potato goes from with skin to skinned:
Okay, so I have to admit...it's a kitchen gadget I asked for this Christmas. I was prepared to be unconvinced about the value, because how hard is it to peel a potato? But I really don't like peeling potatoes or apples, so I wanted to give it a try and Santa delivered. I thought to myself -- quit being lazy, but, really, how different is this than an electric can opener?
Well, I tried it for the first time this week and I am a believer. I don't think I would try anything to gnarly on it, but I like what it did. It is quick, easy to use, and the peel is nice and thin. I actually think thinner than I usually do which reduces potato being wasted and I hate waste. Nice!

I don't pride myself on being a luddite.

It is easy to use, but I find that I only use it when I have a lot of peeling to do because by the time you lug it out, set it up, etc, etc
