My mother has an electric peeler that plugs in. I tried it plugged in and
"manual" . It is just as fast and easy to peel a potato or carrot plugged in as
it does unplugged. It takes up a lot more drawer space and makes more noise
without any saving in time or energy.

I own a battery powered flour sifter. I have never used it. )

Last week I almost picked up a one handed sifter. Not that it is new product or
anything, but it would be an improvement over the two hand model I have been
using. I always try to use as few utensils as possible when cooking because it
means more to clean up. When adding sifted dry ingredients to wet I would like to
be able to hold it over the other bowl and add the dry ingredients that need to
be sifted. Part of it is going to go through the screen prematurely, so I can
either rest it in the bowl, which means part of it will touch the wet stuff, or
put it on a counter or on a plate or something and then retrieve the spillage. So
much easier to just hold it over top, add salt, baking powder or whatever and
soft one handed.

I often wondered what these are good for, but the other night I saw Alton
Brown using a powered sifter with one hand, while stirring with the other
hand. I guess it has its uses.

If you want it, I would be happy to send you my sifter. )
