Review on Enhanced Calphalon Easy Grip Apple Corer Slicer with Improved SEO by George Thorson

I was hoping this device would make it easy to slice and core apples. Unfortunately, 2 small flaws greatly reduce its usefulness. There are already enough test reports that highlight the positive aspects of this product, so I will limit myself to these disadvantages: 1. The apple slices still stick together at the bottom after using the device. While the round coring blade extends slightly below the bottom of the tool and provides a clean cut through the core, the cutting blades are set slightly higher and are unable to fully perform the cut. Therefore, after you "slice" the apple, you still need to pull out the slices. This would not be a problem if all sheets were on the same level. Is it a big deal? Not really, but it's not necessary and doesn't allow the device to be a one-step apple slicer/core slicer.2. The device is painful to clean. This is due to the way the cutting blades are attached to the coring blade. If you enlarge the product image you can see that the 8 blades are actually 4 pieces of metal bent into 2 blades. The problem is that the pieces of apple get stuck in the crevices where these pieces of metal follow the contour of the coring knife. If each blade were individually welded in the middle, that would not be a problem. Why does it matter? A quick rinse won't remove everything, so you'll have to use the dishwasher. If you want to cut apples every day. I used this product extensively for the first two weeks but since then my enthusiasm has faded. A good kitchen gadget makes life easier and I'm not sure what this one does.
