The rest of the tools seem kinda pointless. Problem using gadgets for herbs is that they generally only do one type of cut/mostly smashing. Also sharpening any kitchen gadget with weird shaped blades seems like a pain.

    I've worked in a couple professional kitchens and my favorite gadget was a Univex 20lb vegetable peeler. It was about the size of a 5 gallon bucket and it had a rotating bottom that had an aggressive grit to it. One would put in whole washed potatoes, run some water into the basin, and turn the machine on for a few minutes. Once the side gate was opened you'd have perfectly peeled potatoes come falling out.

    You have to factor in the storage space for all the gadgets, how long it takes to collect all the pieces from random drawers and assemble them and then how long it takes to wash everything and store it again. In my experience it is usually only worth taking out some gadget if you need to cut large amounts of something or want very uniform pieces.

    Having declared my dissatisfaction with this sharpener last night ruclips.net/user/postUgkxDcr-y2Pf6xdnrFHrSP7dl9kpKaCozcSQ I thought about the problem some more. It occurred to me that I might be undoing each attempt at achieving a sharp edge by the repeated attempts. So, I tried to clean up the unsatisfactory result by honing with only positions 3 and 4.Miracle!! A really nicely sharpened chef's knife, more than enough to handle my needs. Admittedly, it did not reach professionally sharpened razor-fineness, but it is now significantly sharper than it was. A bout of breaking down carrots convinced me. So, major apologies to the manufacturer, Amazon, and all happy and potential owners! Follow the directions: don't buy it if you have ceramic blades; and don't overwork your knife blade.

    To be fair, with a potato peeler, I'd imagine the automatic one is still easier to use. It's like trying to compare using an oven to cooking something by hand on a stove. Even in situations where cooking by hand is faster, you still have to be carefully attending and doing work by hand actively, whereas with an oven you can just set it and play video games until you hear the timer go off.

    It's not just about the fact that the gadget is quicker.

    Watching him chop garlic (with a knife) makes me think part of it could be improved with a change in method (and knife choice at times). There’s a reason chefs don’t tend to keep 50 single-function kitchen gadgets on hand. But it also really depends what knives you have available! I grew up thinking chopping food was ridiculously tedious because my mom mostly had steak knives and only a couple were really sharp. Most were never the right tool for the job.
    Fast forward to adult me, with a set of knives I really like, and I actually enjoy prepping vegetables often times! Sure, quartering small, individual items (like grape tomatoes) is still mostly a chore, but dicing an onion or mincing garlic is much better with a proper knife.
    However, as others have said, if you lack the grip strength or coordination a gadget could be a better choice.

    The potato chipper is a good tool if you have to chip up a lot of potatoes but it is not a great design. The commercial ones I have used set up on the edge of the workspace and drop the chips into a tub below it. They are also secured to the table / counter so they don't shift around while in use. I have had to run 160 potatoes through one and it was a snap. At home I cut chips with a knife and it takes me a minute to cut up 3 potatoes into equal sized chips.
