Resumo
This study set out to compare the effectiveness and efficiency of three common potato peeler designs, and whether there were any differences related to gender in terms of use. An experiment was designed involving a timed potato-peeling task using three different potato peeler designs. A balanced group of N = 20 males and females was recruited. The results showed that the vertical peeler with flexible blade resulted in the shortest peeling times. This peeler also produced least waste although these differences were not statistically significant. The results did not reveal any statistically significant gender differences.
