Apple Slicer and Corer
There are a gazillion apple slicers on the market today. Most of them suck. This one doesn’t. That’s about the summary of this apple slicer/corer from New Star.
Featuring stainless steel blades and large, oversized handles for easy handling of any apple, this slicer should do the trick for you for years to come. Dishwasher safe for easy cleaning as well.
If you’ve got kids, cutting and coring an apple or two for snacks is a great healthy alternative to feeding them junk food. I slice apples and put them in my lunch almost everyday. For some reason, I always think a sliced apple tastes better than a whole one.
Reviews
bought 3 different apple dividers; this one was best
Durable, easy to use–apple consumption way up at out house!
I love this thing! It’s durable, easy to use and clean, and it’s offset design protects whatever surface you are using it on.
Since we bought it we now buy twice as many apples as we used to. The kids now snack on fresh apple more often and junk food less often. This alone has made this one of the best return to investment ratio products I’ve ever bought!
(My kids are middle-high scholl age–I’d be a ltiile carefuil with younger kids using it–the blades are sharper than they look.)
I just orderd a second one to keep at my office for quick & healthy afternoon snacks!
Frankly, I feel no home should be without one of these!
Makes it easy!
Daily use for months now without a problem. It works great on apples and pears, cuts them to 8 equal pieces. The blade side on mine is really sharp, best cleaned with a dish brush (I’ve cut myself a couple of times on it.) Can’t say I’d recommend letting the kids use it. The only criticism I have is sometimes it’s hard to remove the core at the center, but otherwise it works really well. In response to one of the other reviews: you should check to see if the stem and the flower end line up to minimize capturing some of the core in your slices. This is especially true if your fruit is somewhat odd shaped–you may have to line up your stroke.
