Starfrit 93013 Pro-Apple Peeler with bonus core slicer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a really good apple peeler. The blade is wider than in standard peelers (the red ones where you put the apple sideways) so it peels the apple faster. It peels around the top and bottom of the apple, missing only the parts right above and below the core, so after coring the apple there's no skin left--no touch-ups required. It comes with a corer, a corer/slicer, two extra blades, and little plastic covers for the blade and prongs. It's easy to clean.
The cons: It looks like it belongs in a toy chest, so if you pride yourself on your beautiful Martha Stewart kitchen you're going to want to put this away after using it rather than leave it displayed. It doesn't work well at all on potatoes--even when you cut them in half first, it still misses lots of spots and carves them into apple shapes. There are four plastic suction cups on its base to keep it from moving while you're using it, and you have to wet them to make them work. It only takes a few drops of water, though, and then they work fine.
I love mine and use it all the time. For me, the cons are outweighed by the usefulness of being able to peel, core, and slice an apple in seven seconds. I'll never go back to a sideways peeler.

Oxo Good Grips Apple Corer and Divider Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently needed to cut a mountain of apples for a party. I knew that not all apple dividers were created equal and I wanted to have the best one. So I went out and bought three different ones to test before the big day. I wasn't crazy about the OXO's looks (I preferred the sleek stainless steel model I found for triple the price at Williams Sonoma), but in terms of utility--and honestly what other criterion should an apple divider be rated on?--the OXO divider was hands down the best. It slices the apple into 8 slices rather than 12. The fact that it cuts fewer slices makes the divider easier to use. Also the center hole for the core was just slightly larger than on the other two models I tried and that made it so that I needed to do fewer touchups with the knife on the OXO sliced apples. Also, the greater ease of cutting made it easier to cut straight slices, rather than wavy, uneven ones. The rubber handles are good because if you must cut a lot of apples rather than just one, the slipperiness of the juice can become an issue.

Paderno World Cuisine Zucchini Corer, Stainless Steel Blade & Handle, 9 1/2" Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Works like a champ to core Zucchini's, its nice the whole thing is stainless, once its covered in Zucchini insides you can give it a quick rinse and off you go. Its also a very good length for most Zucchinis.
The worse I can say is it might be too sharp, you have to be careful with it as lest you want to poke a hole out the back.
If you make stuffed Zucchinis this is a nice tool to have.

Oxo Good Grips Strawberry Huller Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Oxo products are routinely superior, and the new strawberry huller is no exception. My family often goes through strawberries in bulk, so for us this tool is long overdue.
Many people have a lazy way of preparing strawberries that never tastes right - i.e., they just rip the stem off quickly, or at best they'll make a quick cut at the white part. But my mother's way tastes far better - make a circular incision into each 'berry, making sure the white is mostly gone, leaving only the flavorful part. Up until now, all the hullers in stores have been cheap, flimsy, and awkward - kind of a joke. But OXO finally figured out how to make a one-size-fits-all contraption for the strawberry that works perfectly every time (except when the 'berry is exceptionally small). One quick, unskilled swipe (push in, turn, pull the tool out sideways), and you can move on. For most sizes, you can even get the hull out without the extra step of pulling the leaves off (just rinse them afterward to loosen any that got stuck).
So this makes the job quick and easy, helping you get to the best of the fruit in the best way, with significantly less effort.
Another thing to consider - it also eliminates the danger of slicing into your fingers from holding a knife in an awkward position. So... if you prepare a lot of strawberries, or aren't very skilled at hulling, or have arthritis, or have kids who want to help out, then this is a good investment.

Some cooks refuse to house single-purpose kitchen gadgets, but the Oxo Good Grips strawberry huller makes an excellent argument for bending this rule. Designed to gently but precisely pierce, grip, and remove the leafy hulls of strawberries, the tool simplifies prep work while leaving more berry behind to eat. Use is simple and efficient, thanks to pierce-and-scoop design and a finger-push release plunger. Like the rest of Oxo's Good Grips line, the little tool has a non-slip hold and chunky body so hands stand relaxed, and it cleans up in the dishwasher. For comparable specialty tools, check out the Good Grips mango splitter and corn stripper.

Vacu Vin Pineapple Easy Slicer, set of 3 blade sizes. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After reading the high marks this was given, and because I have and like using other Vacu Vin products, I ordered this. Living in Hawaii, I have easy access to excellent fresh pineapple. After 30 plus years of cutting up the fruit, I've developed a quick method for getting the job done--but it IS somewhat messy to do. (Also thought it would be neat to have the option of using the shell to serve dessert or a drink.)
BUT it totally mangled the fruit! In retrospect I might have anticipated this, for the following reasons:
1. The cutters all are plastic, and using them to cut a fibrous fruit--and the even more fibrous core--is similar to using a plastic knife in lieu of a real steak knife: It can be done, but it's an effort.
2. Yes, I tried each of the cutters. All had the same sized core-removal portion, which is way too small for the pineapples I buy here; only the outer diameter on each of the cutters varies.
3. Not only does this gadget assume that the core will be relatively small, it assumes that it will be VERY straight and very centered--a mistake, for the core often is slightly off-center and often widens near the base.
After ten minutes, I gave up on this gadget and did what I normally do: Got out two cutting boards (one for the cored wedges, one for the original fruit, then used my trusty 20 cm (8 inch) Wusthof Trident serrated bread knife in the following steps.
1. Cut off the prickly top of the pineapple with a margin of 1/2 to one inches
2. Cut a slice off the bottom, with about the same margin. These two cuts give you a nice flat end, top and bottom.
3. Cut the pineapple first into quarters, then into eighths
4. Remove the core from each wedge (easily visible from the side) by standing it on end and slicing it top to bottom
5. Remove the outer pineapple "skin" and "eyes" by standing each wedge on end and slicing off 1 cm (3/8 inch) of the outer skin. This is the trickiest part, learning to cut along a gentle curve.
The resulting product is 8 tidy wedges, which you can slice up or serve individually. They are great in fruit salad, make awesome additions to kabobs--if they last long enough. From our pineapples, I generally have a yield of three pint containers of sliced fruit per pineapple.
In summary, until Vacu Vin comes out with a metal version, and addresses the core size issue, my advice is to save your money and put it towards a really good serrated bread knife, such as the Wusthof Trident. In the end it will get you as much as 50% more fruit and you'll have a knife that will give you years of service.
However, if you are totally dedicated to getting a shell from your pineapple, chat up the bartender or manager in one of those bars that sells tropical drinks with umbrellas and ask them where to buy a metal corer. Aloha!

Cuisipro Apple Corer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought the Cuisipro Apple Corer because my 3 year old loves apples, but refuses to eat them sliced, and it's almost impossible to remove an apple core without hacking up the entire apple.
It works perfectly. The serrated edge (at the tip) allows you to easily puncture the apple, and a quick twist allows you to pull the entire core out. The corer opens, letting the core drop out--no digging it out with a pen or other instrument.
Also, there's a 25 year warranty offered by Cuisipro--takes 30 seconds to fill out a form online and you are set in case of breakage or other problems.
The price is a little high for just an apple core, however, it is well crafted, not flimsy metal. You don't have to worry about breaking/bending this on a hard Granny Smith. Well worth the price, in my opinion.

There\'s nothing better or faster for peeling, slicing, and coring apples than this old-fashioned tool, whether you need apples for applesauce, homemade pies, canning, or snacking. Simply attach the heavy-duty cast-iron corer to a countertop using the suction base, push an apple or potato onto the three-tined fork, and turn the crank. This spirals the fruit past a small spring-mounted blade that does the peeling. For peeling only, detach the slicer-corer blade; for slicing and coring without peeling, pivot the peeler arm to the side. All of the blades on this Pinzon tool are constructed of durable stainless steel for years of trouble-free service. This tool measures approximately 5-1/2 inches high by 10 inches wide by 4-1/2 inches deep. To preserve the tool, wash only by hand. This corer is imported.

Zyliss Apple and Potato Cutter with 2 Stainless Steel Cutting Inserts Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I thought Zyliss was a great company 10 years ago but now it seems they are cost cutting. I own several new Zyliss products and they are all breaking. I won't buy another. This apple slicer didn't even make it past the first apple without bending a centering tang, and does NOT stack together for storage as advertised since the pieces are not round (but should be). The reason I bought it was to have a complete cut down into a soft bed ... this so called soft bed was very hard and didn't cut through. I sent it back. Amazon made it painless to return this ... but ... I don't recommend going through the drill to buy it and return it. And you WILL return it !

Norpro Grip-EZ Fruit Wedger Corer Review

(More customer reviews)I bought this along with several other kitchen gadgets using Amazons 4-for-3 promotion. It's been something I've wanted, but didn't necessarily need. Now that we have it though, I'm very glad I bought it.
It makes slicing apples easy and quick. Normally when I make apple pie I peel, cut and core by hand, but with this it cut out one step all together and saved quite a bit of time. Plus the apples were even so they cooked better.
Clean up is easy too, just rinse under some hot water or put on the top rack of your dishwasher.

Back To Basics Apple And Potato Peeler Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you like apple crisp, pie, etc., this gadget is a MUST. I've been peeling, coring, and slicing apples by hand for years, but this takes all the hard work out of my favorite desserts. In seconds, the apple is all clean and ready to bake. Great for pears, too. I have a dehydrator and I've made dried pears and apples for Christmas gifts for people this year using this handy device. I even got my boyfriend to help me because it's so fun to use...and he never cooks!
All of the blades are replaceable, so there is nothing to every wear out. I'm assuming this is the cast iron version of the device. I can't vouch for the aluminum version. The cast iron model is like something my grandmother would have had...rare to find this kind of quality in a gadget these days. No plastic!

Oxo Good Grips Fruit and Vegetable Corer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I canned pears for the first time last year with a friend. She had this awesome little tool for coring the pears. It worked beautifully. Use the little side for the stem parts, and the wide fat end for beautifully taking out the seed filled core. Her tool was like this OXO Good Grips Fruit and Vegetable corer, but with a blue all wooden handle and a much stronger metal for the corer.
I ordered 6 boxes of pears from a local farm and had no desire to do the pears with out the corer I used with my friend. So I ordered this one. It worked great. However, I think the metal on this one is not near as strong as the one with the blue wooden handle. If I order more corers (for more helping hands around the canning jars) I will probably look for the blue wooden handled one.
(I think this item right here, may be the blue wooden handled one my friend had. This looks exactly the same without holding it in my hand...)Pear Corer double bladed.
