Uh Oh, you peeled away half that potato!
Tater Mitts! A pair of cheap rubber gloves that have partials of God-knows-what embedded in the palm and fingers that scrub the peel off the potato in eight seconds! Your cost- "only" $26.90 ($19.95 plus 6.95 shipping and handling).
After watching the TV commercial (go to Tater Mitts link above) I decide to pass on this product for the following reasons:
1. The price.
2. The way the gloves beat-up the potatoes.
3. The fact that you have to do the potato scrubbing under running water.
4. That stuff they put on the gloves. I would be constantly worrying about bits of it breaking off and getting in the potatoes.
5. The sixty day money back guarantee. That tells me the gloves are not going to make it to seventy days.
What I found amusing about the TV commercial:
1. The way they never mention using a potato peeler.
2. The way the announcer reads his lines. Oh no, not with a knife. That's dangerous!
3. The examples of all the different ways you can prepare potatoes. The possibilities are endless!
4. The crawl along the bottom of the screen telling you of the many different potatoes that Tatter Mitts can be used on.
Idaho...Yukon Gold...Red...New...Fingerling...Yams...Sweet Potatoes
5. The way the people using the bonus "Perfect Fries" have to really put they backs into using that thing- even when slicing cucumbers.
Although the commercial was amusing I really have no desire to abuse poor innocent potatoes.
