I can’t say I hate everything about the almost exclusively gastronomic universe of the kitchen, because I like to eat. Not to mention the fact that I kind of need to eat in order to healthily live my life. Irrespective of enjoying or not the ultimate culinary experience, the human body feels the need to gain resources whenever it lacks energy.

But the road that leads to a perfect dinner is not paved only with good intentions, but also with hard work. And I’m not sure how many of us are capable and, even most important, willing to stay a couple of hours in the kitchen, surrounded by all sorts of smells, for just 10 minutes of later pleasure.

Whoever came up with this idea and created such a device must really hate potato skins. Therefore, if you’re not very much into the rustic style of cooking, leaving the potatoes in their “pyjamas”, as I used to say when I was a little child, and you have a weird passion for pointless gadgets, you’ll enjoy this one. Because the worst part of cooking from scratch is peeling and cutting. And because you hate peeling vegetables, fruit or anything that will fit in the Rotato Express, then the only thing you’d like is to put an end to it.

It peels right about everything with no fuss whatsoever. Made of ABS plastic, the Rotato Express runs on both a 6 volt adaptor and 4 AA batteries. The device “automatically peels potatoes, fruits and other vegetables in seconds. It puts an end to thick peels and waste. Simply skewer potato on bottom spike and lower the top spike. Then, push the button to start peeling – automatically stops when complete. Skin peels off in one continuous piece”.

Having an ultra safe design, there’s no need to hold or touch while peeling. This electric gadget requires, as you’ve seen earlier, four AA batteries which are not included and is made of ABS plastic and metal, measuring 5 ½ x 5 ¾ x 11 inches. If you want to purchase this automatic potato peeler, you can go to TaylorGifts.com and grab it for $29.98.
