If I had one of these, I'd volunteer to peel apples all day long.

I like the Progressive Onion Chopper The only thing is you have to give the lid a good punch, LOL, but it works great.

What campfire gadgets does everyone use?..

I lost my fireplace log tongs in a move and haven't found another cheap pair. If I did a lot of campfire cooking, I don't anymore, I would get a pair cheap or other wise. They were great for moving wood around to adjust heat. I suppose the long handle shovel that comes with a lot of fireplace sets would be handy if you use the coals for cooking.

Might be handy for the larger DOs too.

Thanks. Will see if I can find one locally. BB&B seems to have lots
of OXO stuff, so perhaps there.

The one I have is the OXY in the picture, I got it from Amazon and I have no complaints in the 2 years I've had it. It is the only one I've had though.

Why do people peel potatoes?

Sometimes ya just want your spud nekkit, I guess?

Actually I was trying to casually exhort the use of my new found friend for mashed potatoes.:B
I've been using the ricer for a couple of years now and I would never go back to any other method. Like I said earlier, you cut the potato in half or thirds, boil it until soft and then squeeze out mashed potatoes. The big chunks with skin on don't soak up water like smaller peeled pieces do so you can add more liquids like milk or sour cream and still have stiff potatoes.

I use what my grandma taught me to use for separating eggs, my fingers.

Someone bright on YouTube showed that an empty water bottle works well for that.
