Titan Peeler Review

53 CommentsContent may be sponsored or contain affiliate links. View full disclosure.

Have you ever purchased an item at a Trade Show or Fair event on a whim from oneĀ  of those fast talking demonstrations? I have had some pretty bad experiences with these products. My last “sucker” purchase was a Gratty, save the money if you are ever tempted.

This year at the Utah State Fair, I found myself, once again, at the demonstration table. There was a nice old man watching the demonstration with me, where we enjoyed the peeling finesse of of a fast taking salesman showing us “The Worlds Best Peeler” which we could get for the “today only cash price of $20″.

Now, I have to say, the demonstrator had vegetable peeling skills I personally, will probably never achieve, but this was an item I was in need of. My favorite old rusty peeler had just bit the dust. Hum, should I get one? After all the nice old man next to me just did and a Kitchen Aid peeler is $10! Plus, if I “buy right now, this very minute, with cash, I'll get a FREE shredder too”. SUCKER? or maybe not…..

Alrighty, home I go with my new found treasure, and this time I do mean treasure. I love these peelers? The picture above can really speak for itself. It tackles Butternut Squash like nobody's business. One pull with little pressure and the skin is off. I haven't tried it yet, but the “Ringmaster of Peelers” was very proficient at making it work on Pineapple too.

And, lets not leave out the shredder tool, pull it along the veggie of your choice, potatoes, squash, carrots and more and viola, perfect little shreds. It works best on dry veggies, cucumbers seem to clog it up.

I just now sauteed up my tasty demonstration for lunch.Ā  A little olive oil, salt & pepper and done, add last nights chicken or some kidney beans if you want a little protein. Delicious!

Both peelers also work on cheese. I love the slicer for cheese and use it all the time for my cheese slicing tasks. The grater is okay for small jobs but won't replace your good old box grater.

I have no idea how long this little treasures super sharp blades will last, but it does have a ā€œLifetime guaranteeā€ :) Tee hee! Based on the sharpness of the blades, I think it will be around for a while.

Okay, so as things go, of coarse these peelers are less money than you can get under the “Big Tent” or on late night TV. There are several sellers on Ebay here that have them listed. And, just a note, I found NO use for the “handy Mandolin tool” it's awkward and flimsy.

This seller here, has the identical set I got for $8.95 with free shipping (limited supply). Be sure to check out any sellers rating before making your purchase.

Happy Peeling!

  3. Never purchased anything at a trade show-things always look good, but never brave enough to make the “jump”-this looks amazing though!

  4. Years ago my husband came home from a trade show with a vitamix blender. I about killed him when he said he paid almost $400 for it! Well I love him more for that purchase every day, when I hand him his smoothie made in that same blender. Don’t know what I would do without it!
    The grater looks great!!

  9. I got a free knife at Walmart for listening to the demonstration. I resisted buying what they were selling but it was worth it for a good little knife for free.

  11. I’ve never been sucked into a “big tent” purchase, but have done some late night infomercial purchases- my favorite was/is a set of knives I got 12 years ago. They were $30 for two sets (we gave one to my parents for Christmas) and they have just gotten to the point where they are wearing out enough (and we’ve lost/misplaced enough) to consider getting a new set. Not bad for essentially $15 for a knife set, huh?!

    I will admit, I’ve eyed this peeler a number of times, but never succumbed to temptation because it seemed too good to be true. Now that I’ve seen a “real” review, I may just give into that “big tent” purchase… just not in the big tent! šŸ™‚ Thanks for the very helpful review!

  12. My sister was talked into letting someone come to her house for a demonstration to get a free kitchen item, but they insisted that they be allowed to come when her husband would be there too. So even though it was inconvenient they scheduled a time, sat around all night waiting, and the people never showed. Then they finally called and said they couldn’t make it and wanted to reschedule, and again insisted that they wouldn’t come during the day when it was convenient for her. So she finally told them never mind.

    I’m excited to see if it would really work on pineapple!

  15. These look awesome! The only thing I ever buy at the fair is fudge, funnel cake, and lots of other junk foods. I’m usually too broke to buy anything else by that point šŸ˜€

  18. I purchased a Geigerrig pressurized hydration backpack. It was a little pricey but I have loved it so far. It has a filter they sold me for $5 that can attach. Really handy if you run out of water on a long hike.

  19. The one time I ever bought a “Big Tent” item was a Shami at the fair. This was when they first came out before all the infomercials. Let’s just say that it is no coincidence that this product has the word “Sham” in it.

    I recently saw the old rusty peeler my mother was using with her arthritic hands. A new peeler would be perfect for her. I am definitely going to check these out for her. Thanks for the review.

  21. I just found your site and I LOVE IT!! I get so giddy when kitchen utensils and cooking equipment is the topic, that seeing this peeler post literally made my heart jump! Look forward to being your newest reader and thanks for doing giveaways – so super FUN! šŸ™‚

  22. Only tent item I bought was a cleaner. Gren apple something. It worked well but it is just the same as any old Lysol

  25. My biggest as-seen-on-tv flops was a steamer. My wife thought we would save so much money on dry cleaning. The only wrinkles the steamer gets out are the same wrinkles that begin to lay flat just with normal wear. Hopefully we won’t make that mistake again. Thanks for having a great site!

  29. A good peeler can help put some interest in your meals. The chance to add new things to meals sounds exciting to me. I have major problems with my hands so it looks like this would help me prepare food would be superb.

    • Yup, I finally bought one of those shredders which has been collecting dust every since I bought and tried it. Today, I tried to put it in my charity pile, but it cost 20 or 25 dollars!!! Gee Whiz…

  31. I just had to “try” peeling a squash with my old peeler… Didn’t work out so well. That one looks amazing!
    As for the brownie pan with the seperation piece, its a major flop! They stick to it badly and you will end up with a plateful of brownie pieces. Tastes great over ice cream though!

  32. I am in desperate need of a new peeler. I think I may have thrown mine out with the veggie peels recently. šŸ™
    This would make our gluten free cooking so much easier.
    “Big Tent” flops – we bought a nail stencil kit at the state fair a few years back. They made it look so easy but it wasn’t and we paid far more than we could have bought it elsewhere. Oh well – live and learn.

  34. I’d love a good peeler. I just peeled a butternut squash the other day and it was a nightmare. This would make it much easier.

  35. I am a sucker for a kitchen tool. I haven’t had a lot of “tent” shopping experiences, but I am a sucker for AS SEEN ON TV, sometimes. They always look so life changing on tv… šŸ™‚
    I hope I win! We eat lots of veggies with our allergic to almost everything son, and any tool that helps make veggies into stirfry is my friend!!!

  40. LOL…They saw me coming! I bought a set of really cool knives at an in-store display. They worked good, at the store. I got them home and just wasn’t impressed. I ended up gifting them as a wedding present šŸ™‚ LOL HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

  47. I haven’t ever purchased something from the demonstrators. . if I did, it’d be a Blendtec because I know they are good :0) This peeler looks great though. :0)

  48. I have never purchased any “big tent” item. I guess I am just way too skeptical. I do however love good peelers and this looks like a good one!

  49. Never bought from a tent… but my mother-in-law did. Don’t buy the “GT Express 101”. It was a gift to us and has been sitting in our cupboard for ages… ok 5 years. šŸ™‚ My mother-in-law also purchased one of these years ago and it works on tough-skinned apples. VERY cool tool to have; hope I get it!
