ITKWD - Oopsie Mark Charles

JeanLouiseFinch — Sun, 08 Oct 2017 19:54:06 GMT

Did anyone else see what I just saw? Mark Charles Misili is on with Mary DeAngelis, demonstrating his Kuhn Rikon Dual Peeler and it broke while in use, right on live tv. He tried using it on a potato and the blade came right off. He tried to hide it and keep talking while setting everything aside as the camera went to Mary who was using the tool on an "easier" vegetable. How embarassing!

Well, at least Mary didn’t say what a piece of junk like Bob Bowersox said after a new tool he was demonstrating cut his finger.

You posted before I could!! Saw that too! I guess you shouldn't press too hard on a hard vegetable. It's only plastic after all. That was funny how he just hid it behind the other vegetables and kept talking as if it never happened.

Yep! I think he was pressing on that potato too hard. I bet they have a lot of returns.

He almost got cut - I looked at his hand for blood. Noticed how many times he/she had to stroke the cuke or zuc (whatever it was) before the skin was completely off. I took one look at that tool and said - what a piece of junk, no wonders they give you 5. It's not safe.

@GSPgirl OMG, that had to be funny to see! Not him cutting his finger, of course, but calling something he was supposed to be selling a piece of junk. LOL

I have been watching but happened to walk away and missed that part. You can see how thin the plastic is. I will keep my stainless steel titan peeler and julienne peeler thank you.

I didn't see it but I bought the best peeler set. If I was going to gift someone a great peeler - I'd buy a OXO brand but I did buy #k35642 (3 veg peelers w/holder). These are sharp & like the "holder" piece hold whatever your peeling in place - no slipping. Not sure if Kuhn-Rikon product.

Oh yea, well I was watching an Temptation demo one with the lid it . It was hot out of the oven and when she lifted the lid it off of the dish the handle broke right off. She said " oh look at that" and layed it off to the side. I couldn't believe what I saw so I keep watching it over and over to make sure.

There is just so much junk out there these days.I have a lot of kitchen tools from 40 years ago that I still use and they are great.

I saw that and just thought it wouldn't take off the potato peel. No wonder he "hid" it to the side right away.

It's sad QVC sells junk like this.

Like you, Whatnow, I have kitchen tools from years ago. I'm 71 years of age and many of them belonged to my mother and they are as good as the day she received them. When my parents got married in 1939 people gifted kitchen gadgets. Back in those days things were made in America and were built to last. Now, everything is disposable. Sad to see

I seriously want to see the video with the temptations handle breaking. I mean...really?

@docsgirl I would much rather have a few good serviceable tools than a drawer full of pretty but useless junk.Please Q get dome quality, made in USA products so we can stop filling up the landfills.

You are right about that. Where do people keep all of this stuff?? My kitchen is too small for all of these gadgets.

@ValuSkr - it's still there right now. Go to the ITKWD show for today. Look for the item, and the break comes up at roughly the 6:40 mark. The potato was peeled and MCM really jammed that julienne blade in too far before pulling on it.

It doesn't look very durable. And as clumsy as I am, that's an accident waiting to happen.
