Life’s Too Short to Peel Potatoes — Your Kitchen Has Bigger Things to Do.

If you’re feeding the masses, running fryer-led menus or gearing up for the festive rush, this is the sort of kit that earns its place instantly.

There’s always that one job nobody volunteers for: peeling a mountain of potatoes. It’s slow, it’s messy and it ties up a member of staff before a single plate has left the pass. When service is busy or catering volume is high, it becomes the first bottleneck of the day.

So yes — life’s too short to peel potatoes by hand. Especially in a commercial kitchen.

A graded clearance find worth knowing about

We’ve got a Metcalfe B-Grade EP15 Bench-Mounted Potato Peeler in the warehouse right now — brand new and unused, with minor cosmetic marks only (casting/paint, shown in the images).

Capacity is 6.8 kg per load with up to 60 kg per hour throughput. To picture that in real terms:

60 kg is roughly 300–400 potatoes an hour — basically a full sack every 6–8 minutes.

That’s how quickly a job that normally slows everything down becomes a non-issue.

What kitchens like about this model

• Bench/sink-top footprint — no need to sacrifice floor space

• Double-sided rotor plate (fine + coarse) to handle all potato types

• Lifetime abrasive serrations inside the chamber — nothing to replace

• Tool-free lid and rotor removal for quick, proper cleaning

• Belt-driven for smooth, quiet running

And if you’d prefer it as a standalone machine, we also stock the pedestal and the mobile trolley stand, so it can be positioned wherever the workflow makes most sense.

Why the graded one makes sense

It’s simple:

• Brand new and unused

• Only cosmetic marks

• Hundreds of pounds cheaper than the RRP

• Supplied with a 6-month warranty

You get the same performance, the same time savings and the same build quality — just without the brand-new price tag.

The Graded price is £1,212 + VAT

Kitchens where it really earns its keep

• Fish & chip shops

• Takeaways

• Pubs and carveries

• School and college kitchens

• Care homes

• Batch-prep and catering contractors

If potatoes are moving through the kitchen fast — this takes a job nobody wants and automates it.

Final word

If your menu depends on chips, roasties or mash — and especially if you’re heading into a busy period — taking hand-peeling out of the morning routine is one of the simplest wins you can make. It frees staff, speeds prep and keeps the kitchen moving.
