Most loved? My knife. It's a good knife. It can dice strawberries, it can peel potatoes, it can cut tomatoes.

I am personaly not a fan of kitchen gadgets. Many of them are less versatile reinventions of knifes. Nothing wrong with using them, but I am not the target audience, me thinks. :)

Fuck... I just realized my potato peeler is likely one of these less versatile reinventions of a knive. sigh I got got.

A potato peeler is an excellent invention, because it reduces the time I spend doing something I hate.

However, I have an even better method: don't peel your potatoes. You can eat the peel, it's even very tasty in pretty much all non-mashes uses.

Can you do that with all potatoes? My parents gave me the impression that some kinds of potatoes need to be peeled before consumption

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

All I can say is that I can do it with every type of potato I've tried it with.

Oh my, this might become my new fave timesaver since laughing out loud became lol. :D
