The beef jerky segment brought something to mind: you have the same vibes as another channel I love, emmymadeinjapan! You and Emmy provide straightforward, honest and trustworthy opinions about stuff (in her case, recipes), and I can totally binge watch you both very easily. For some reason, I'm fantasizing a collab between you two now, lol! Love your channel, thanks for the content
I have one like that and I've caught my skin a couple of times. No serious injuries but you're right to be careful with it. The little oxo seems like a good option 👍
I have both OXO peelers (standard and julienne) and they're great. I'd rather have those two over this one. The OXO julienne peeler has a clear plastic shield that pops over the teeth for storage because they are SHARP.
I noticed your cutting board getting away from you during the julienne section-wet a towel or paper towel and put underneath it to keep it from sliding around.
Thanks for the quick reviews! My wife and I watch every one. We rarely buy any gadgets, but love to watch your reviews of them. Keep up the great work!
@@dylan-nguyen Potato in left hand at 45-90 degrees , Y shaped peeler head angled 90-180 degrees an pull. The blade skins the potato or carrot , cheese etc. and air, not the fingers, wrist or arms. More than 1 way to skin a potato.
Thanks for the bonus review! I made an order for Jeff's Famous Jerky. Advice to anyone looking at prices on their website, it initially shows a high charge for shipping but once you put in your city, state and zip code the shipping goes to a reasonable price.
I bought a stainless julienne peeler a while back and that really makes your job a whole lot faster. They're even better than a mandolin slicer since you don't have as much cleanup. That's not for everything you have to julienne but it makes julienning carrots and the like a lot easier.
I’m honestly amazed that you remember the name of the banana bopper... like once you showed it on screen I instantly remembered the item, but the fact that you just know it and it’s name off the top of your head is impressive.
Hey man, I just wanna say that your videos make my day better during these dark times. I've been having some issues lately and your videos are always a sight to see. Thank you.
James is entertaining and a good reviewer. If I buy something he reviews I know it won’t be crap. I also love the way people in England, say blooming! It’s awesome 😎
Im from Colombia and I bought a couple gadgets from James videos Im I glad to do it. So.. yeah this channel have a huge impact in several countries around the world. Stay Classy Lad.
Yesss I wanna see that. I used to have a good one I bought back in the 90s it was one of those as seen on TV product and it worked really well it's sliced my potatoes paper thin so I can get chips. The one I have now has two blades it's supposed to slice thin but it doesn't. I need to get a new mandolin but I don't want to spend $60 on
I have had one for years and love it. It is great on cabbages and instead of grating cheese and carrot I use this. I only use the Julian side for these. Also the orange starter is great.
Great review, James! When it comes to shredding cabbage, I found a restaurant supply store near me that sells 5 lb bags of shredded cabbage coleslaw mix for about $5. Much easier and nothing to clean up. When it comes to jerky, I prefer the peppered beef flavor with a firmer texture. Other hot flavors are ok too.
This is a really quality Channel. I don't even like these type of review videos or own any of the products but I really like this specific Channel. There's just a sense of genuineness with this guy's videos.
My favorite peeler of all time continues to be the Titan peeler. First "As seen on TV" product that has ever lived up to the hype. Been using it for the past 7-8 years!
Going both ways with a peeler is a skill that usually takes a bit of practice. I was a chef for about a year, and I never did enough peeling to bother to practice it. It's definitely a handheld multi purpose peeler, as opposed to a potato peeler or a full sized multipurpose peeler. I think it's pretty awesome for smaller tasks or for someone who does not want to own a full sized peeler.
I like about the beef jerky is that they have a transparent package so you technically cant overexpect the content. Most manufacturers have intransparent and air blown in to trick you with the size of the bag. Also nice big chunks in there as it seems.
I am here for the duration. I love me some beef jerky. Lol. Who knew he was so afraid of apeeler? I guess those folks who have an RV and a beach house would want 3 of them.
I have both styles of peelers in my kitchen albeit not these particular brands. I also don’t like the way you have to hold/use the Irish style peeler and I have cut myself several times because of that. However it is much more efficient on thick skinned veggies such as squash and rutabaga. So I do use it for those items but I now stick a fork in the veggie to hold it in place and save my fingers from harm.
Love your willingness to try anything! Suggestion - stabilize the cutting board with a damp paper towel underneath - or any grippy shelf liner, flat rubber/silicone jar opener, etc. It will be easier on you! :)
@ 15:27 in the video I paused to comment. Bailey slobbering on your foot is KARMA for you saying the worst word on the planet, the "M" word so many times LMAO
I’m not surprised that the grater failed with cheese. That style grater is made for garlic or ginger (like you mentioned) - something you want to end up more mushy. Or maybe a hard cheese that you want powdery, like Parmesan. Grated (turned into mush/powder) vs shredded )cut into short fine strips). Not critical…just educational! Keep up the good work!
My dominant hand is slightly deformed I have a tumor on my palm and it tends to get in the way when cooking but I can ignore it for most tasks. I would absolutely cut myself using this. Too many blades to be mindful of.
Great review. Thanks I enjoyed it because I picked up a few tips... Mainly how to use the bloody thing. It's been sitting in the utensils draw for 2 years until today when I commissioned it to use. 👍😀 Works a treat!
Great video as always. I don't know if you still do the merchandise I've seen under some of your videos (or even if you have control over the designs on offer) but I was thinking you should include your catchphrases on some of them. 'Smooth As Silk!' over a broken product or 'I have to say, I'm kinda surprised!' I'm sure others could come up with some more too.
Hey James me and the kids love the show and always watch together. We all are wondering is there an Ikea near you, most of the things you review, we have the Ikea version, and they are not perfect but they are for yhe price. Like the peeler, we buy 2 or 3 every year or so, they cost a dollar and are very sharp. Also we got a 3pc knife set that only cost 10 and stays sharp.
#1 rule before starting any prep work in the kitchen with regards to using a cutting board, place a damp cloth under it so the cutting board doesn't move around. P.S. Keep up the awesome reviews! 🙂
Do you memorize the claims and descriptions? Or do you have your script out of frame? 😅😅😅 just curious, it sounds like reading the claims out of the package
When I was a child, I took a healthy strip out of my thumb while using a vegetable peeler set up like your green one. I have a peeler that's set up more like a razor than a conventional peeler or knife design. It works really, really well.
used both styles many times myself, the y style does take getting used to yes but works good after you get more comfortable with it, current one though like the oxo.
I love beef jerky, my favorite brand so far is Old trapper. Tried many other from my local stores, love old trapper as they seem to give the most in their pack than others.
I always put on dishwashing rubber gloves when I peel like that. number one they protection your hand from cuts number two it lets you grip the vegetable better 😉
Lol, you can use the "irish" peeler away from yourself with some technique. Just hold the peeler turned around 180 degrees and palm the fruit or vegetable carefully. Kitchen folk have been using Y peelers for quite a while and it's just a matter of preference and technique.
The potato eye remover would have worked if you had Twisted it like you did the Oxo one. Thanks for the demo. I use a similar peeler that would look like one half of that one and you do pull away from yourself. If you use that longer you might like it better.
I would rather use a grater to shred cabbage. I agree that I wouldn't want to push the peeler forward, I thought this when you did that review for the other peelers. Really I prefer the style of the OXO, but my mom got a Y shaped one at Bed, Bath & Beyond. Then, she found some little ones that I think are supposed to be Swiss? She said they are very sharp. Personally, I did agree with her that the eye remover on the small peelers were great. I still prefer the OXO where I feel more in control. Aaaah, the beef jerky makes me long for Korean BBQ Beef Jerky I tasted at Costo a few years ago.
I LOVE living in Canada but I just looked these peelers up on Amazon Canada and they are not exactly a bargain, the price is $41.68 for three. I'll tell you right now, that ain't happening! :)

@@Freakinreviews The price difference on things can be quite jarring at times, usually on smaller items from smaller companies. More popular things from major brands are generally priced according to the exchange rate. One thing I'd love to see you test is a Breville Pizzaiolo oven, I really want a trusted opinion on it. LOL
I filleted part of my finger off peeling a potato with a really wide peeler, holding it like you were when you were worried about it. Now I only use one like the oxo.
When you held up the packs of jerky for the first time, and I saw the yellow label I instantly thought, is that ALPO flavored jerky? I think the label looks like the ALPO can from the 70s.
Idk if I have some kind of magic peeler, but we have had ours (plastic) for 20 years and hasn’t broken. Maybe people just aren’t using it right or something bc everyone hates on them.
I think the reason you describe the texture as being soft and crumbly is because most beef jerky is not made with brisket. When you use brisket there is a lot more intramuscular fat and when that fat melts away it causes it to be crumbly. Not to mention giving you a much softer product simply because of the cut of meat used. You can imagine the difference between dehydrating a piece of strip loin and dehydrating brisket you would be left with much different texture
i got something similar from a mall demo 3 yrs ago and i still have it. i keep it in the freezer as advised by the seller to keep it sharp and it is sharp up to this day. i only use the peeler and the julienne blade and i don't really use the other features.
I would probably go for the oxy, hope I spelled that right . The best jerky I've ever had is right here in the small west ,tx town I live at. Klemkes BBQ and Jerky. It's mostly Jerky, one of the big buildings burned down sometimes during the night. Great video btw 👌.
I have several orange peelers in my drawer that are just that little plastic cutter nub with a little finger guard ring. They’re maybe the size of a quarter and would come free with oranges from Harry & David fruit catalog orders (I did some food photography for them years ago).
Go for the oxo every time. With a potato I like to peel a complete strip or a circle all the way around longways down over and back up to the start and only with the oxo - then peel a strip all the way around the the shorter girth. That peels most of the potato, leaving about 4 smaller patches to zip off in a jiffy. Im convinced the green one is not so safe to use. You - or me, needs a learners permit before a qualifed drivers licence to use one of those and make sure you never exceed the speed limit round corners on one of those green ones. Slow down and watch out for the unexpected, especially in slipery conditions. Sincerely take care.
I already have an Oxo peeler so I feel I am set. I really enjoyed the jerky review. I am a big fan of jerky but am accustomed to a very dry texture. It would have been great if they provided a discount code for your subscribers.
If a short video is 20 minutes, I can’t wait for a long video
Right? I would watch a video from this channel if it was 4 hours long lol
He probably meant longer than the 10 minute section of the actual review

"Cut flesh into strips" sounds like what you DON'T want to do.

I believe that grater is for those that want that zest. Like lemon, lime, or even orange zest for cooking or even salads
Also garlic and ginger! I use those all the time but I can use my dollar store grater tho it's a bit annoying
@@MothCreature13 yeah that's another way of using it. It's pretty much for something small

When you held up the packs of jerky for the first time, and I saw the yellow label I instantly thought, is that ALPO flavored jerky? I think the label looks like the ALPO can from the 70s.
Jack of all trades. Master of one 😂
I like the more moist tender jerky’s. The drier ones always feel tough and like they might rip my teeth out. 😂
What lens are you using at 2:05? It's beautiful!
Idk if I have some kind of magic peeler, but we have had ours (plastic) for 20 years and hasn’t broken. Maybe people just aren’t using it right or something bc everyone hates on them.
I think the reason you describe the texture as being soft and crumbly is because most beef jerky is not made with brisket. When you use brisket there is a lot more intramuscular fat and when that fat melts away it causes it to be crumbly. Not to mention giving you a much softer product simply because of the cut of meat used. You can imagine the difference between dehydrating a piece of strip loin and dehydrating brisket you would be left with much different texture
i got something similar from a mall demo 3 yrs ago and i still have it. i keep it in the freezer as advised by the seller to keep it sharp and it is sharp up to this day. i only use the peeler and the julienne blade and i don't really use the other features.
I had never heard that keeping blades in the freezer will keep them sharp. I just googled and it seems to be a myth.
I will stick to the old fashion peeler. The last time I had Beef Jerky I had to have a root canal.
I don't know what that means, but Granny's got arthritis
i like the soft jerkey myself, not a fan of the tough lethery strips so that sounded good
That's a peeler that everyone can appreciate. Especially Granma. Granma's got arthritis, she can't be doing kitchen work with any other kind o tools.
I would probably go for the oxy, hope I spelled that right . The best jerky I've ever had is right here in the small west ,tx town I live at. Klemkes BBQ and Jerky. It's mostly Jerky, one of the big buildings burned down sometimes during the night. Great video btw 👌.
* Oxo
I have several orange peelers in my drawer that are just that little plastic cutter nub with a little finger guard ring. They’re maybe the size of a quarter and would come free with oranges from Harry & David fruit catalog orders (I did some food photography for them years ago).
Go for the oxo every time. With a potato I like to peel a complete strip or a circle all the way around longways down over and back up to the start and only with the oxo - then peel a strip all the way around the the shorter girth. That peels most of the potato, leaving about 4 smaller patches to zip off in a jiffy. Im convinced the green one is not so safe to use. You - or me, needs a learners permit before a qualifed drivers licence to use one of those and make sure you never exceed the speed limit round corners on one of those green ones. Slow down and watch out for the unexpected, especially in slipery conditions. Sincerely take care.
I already have an Oxo peeler so I feel I am set. I really enjoyed the jerky review. I am a big fan of jerky but am accustomed to a very dry texture. It would have been great if they provided a discount code for your subscribers.
