Review on Effortless Apple Preparation: Pampered Chef Apple Peeler/Corer/Slicer #2430 by Michelle King

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It's not just for apples, you know.

I asked my sister-in-law for an apple corer when I was at her house. Here's what she came up with. My husband, a super technician, couldn't wait to get his hands on it. Apples turned faster than we could deliver them to him. Then we started spinning other things. A little background is needed here: I bought the Inspiralized book and have been patiently waiting for the Spiralizer to go on sale. At the same time I used a vegetable peeler for julienne. Bought the Sur La Table Spiralizer for about 50% off the regular price. Had a surprisingly good time making zoodles (zucchini ribbons). The spiralizer didn't work so well with apples and almost broke with sweet potatoes. I picked up this plastic contraption and pouted; It was a lot of fun making zoodles. My very own Pampered Chef apple peeler/corer/slicer (PCS) arrived at my house, purchased from my husband. He knew I was pouting about the spiralizer - he saw the face. My PCS has worked with apples, zucchini, sweet potatoes and more. Back home, he adjusted the spacing between the paring knives and started his own batch of grocery rolls. Initially, he was more adept at slicing apples to better core them. He flattened the apple with the circular slicing blade, loosened the stem, pricked the apple, and then lifted the apple again to get the peeling machine going before the coring/cutting part could get to work. It lasted little more than a minute. Grandma would be so proud. PS the curly fries were great. Make "coins" out of the core of sweet potatoes for the kids to dig out.

Pros
  • kitchen and dining room
Cons
  • too boring
