Review on 🍎 Stainless Steel Apple Peeler & Corer Slicer Machine - Durable Heavy Duty Die Cast Mechanical Hand-cranking Kitchen Tool with Powerful Suction Base - Ideal for Fruits, Vegetables, and Potatoes by Vivian Kai

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Cutting/paring edges are fairly dull but work

This knife is strong but not the best quality: given the paring and cutting material I think the edges dull quickly and are initially not sharp. If your only concern is casting, metal finishing and vacuuming then this product is pretty well made. There are now many similar models on the market. I've tried a few of them and I can tell you that they really are what they look like: the same product, just sold by different companies. They work. They don't work very well, but they save time and are pretty cute and fun to work with. They also work with very small apples. I have access to three apple trees in the yard of an old farmhouse. The apples are quite small and irregularly shaped, but worth picking. This device works with small ones, but unless they are very strong and hard, small ones can break because the pins are quite large. Even if the core is off-center, the apple can break. And if there are dimples or soft spots or asymmetries, the peeler will not work effectively. I think what I'm saying is this: it works on homegrown apples of the right shape, with no bruising or deformities. Sort accordingly. I like that the slices are even. Place the cored and sliced apple on a cutting board and cut in half from top to bottom. As a result, you get pieces of the descending / ascending circles of the crescent of equal thickness. My thick applesauce turned out amazing - I just tossed the whole, cored, sliced apples into the pan and they fell apart nicely when it was all done. The suction was on. I'm not very impressed with the quality of the skived edge and expect it to dull quickly. I don't consider this a quality product. I think you can tell the difference between a quality apple peeler by its photos and its price.
