I hate cross blade peelers, I would not give a nickel for any of them'. Small slot carbon steel (dark Blade) is great. Why spend more?
The one that didn’t cut is good for babies that want to help but can’t really help.
Love these equipment test. Thanks
watching the same ending promo time after time gets a little boring.
My mum peeled everything but carrots and potatoes with a knife (truthfully, she didn’t peel carrots at all, they got a good hard scrubbing and that was it). The peeler WAS the safety device. The only reason she used the peeler on potatoes was speed and the handy little thingy on there for gouging out any eyes in the potato. Of all the things in a kitchen that might need a kids version, this seems the least significant
Damn that kids got an amazing personality.
My mother used to bring carrots for her kindergarteners to peel, with those old fashioned peelers, and the kids did fine! SEVENTEEN BUCKS!?!?! I'm going to recommend that blue one to a friend of mine, who's a chef, who dinged his knuckle with a veg. peeler this morning!
Why are repeating your videos? This one was a snoozer the first time you posted it. Are we running out of content or just trying to maintain your You Tube quota? No value in this video!!!!
How about teaching the kid how to peel properly. She never was going to be successful the way she was doing it.
$17 vegetable peeler specifically for younger kids
…
NOPE.AVI
Ikea has the Smabit kid's knife & peeler set that my now 7y/o grandson has been using since he was 5. He loves them & still uses them all the time. Sized right for kid's hands, knife has finger guard and blade cover, knife actually cuts & peeler peels well. It's also only $5.99 in the USA. Not connected with Ikea in any way, just really like the set.
Nicely done, Lisa ʕ•́؈•̀ʔ
I was 7 years old using a 8 inch chefs knife 🥱
I dunno, my general feeling is kids don't need or want special "kids" versions of everything!
You don't do kids any favors by trying to make everything super safe. Life isn't safe, teach kids that, and teach them to be smart, strong people.
You could just say vegetable peeler. It’s not like adults can’t use it.
The children’s version looks oddly similar to the real thing…besides I don’t think a vegetable peeler ranks as one of the most dangerous kitchen tools…
I grew up in the 50's / 60's and my mother 'cooked' tv dinners and spanish rice. Thankfully, my neighbor liked to bake cookies and would let me help. I'm not sure how much help I was, but it gave me an introduction to using the strange equipment in the kitchen that I rarely saw my mother touch! Those were the days when nothing was kid-proofed. If you got hurt by a kitchen tool you learned from the experience not to do it again. Peel your finger once – that's all it takes! The box grater though, continues to ply it's evil upon my knuckles (cutting gloves work – if you use them)!
Hey, I love your channel and all the videos. So helpful and very useful as I am living on my sailboat, at sea for the rest of my life! Food is good. Great food is better. And easy, well planned great food is the best. Thanks, again for all you do!!!
Never understood the Y-shaped peelers… terribly inconvenient (except maybe for peeling long things like carrots). The "knife" shaped ones are much better and more versatile.
Who loves this show?
😍😍😍❤❤❤
I am back, what is up ?
Genuinely sad that you don't have an affiliate link to the one you recommended for younger kids, as I would have bought it right now off of that if it was there.
Oddly specific review, but I guess I know what to get a kid for their birthday now.
I like these videos so I know what to buy for my son to help out in the kitchen. He loves helping out and I like knowing what he’s using helps keep him safer because it’s easier to use.
