Apple Peeler Corer Slicer - A Time Saver

By Douglas Taylor

Do you have an apple based recipe that you just love? Do you balk at preparing recipes that are based on apples because of all the time it takes to prepare them correctly? A tool that is very helpful is an apple peeler corer slicer. There are many different varieties from which to choose. Some people prefer a clamp-on style while others prefer using one that has suction cups on the bottom. If you prefer the clamp-on type, there are stands available for these so that you don't have to clamp the tool onto your counter top, perhaps damaging it. The suction cup base can be less trouble, and will work even better if you choose to buy the model that has a lever, as just an easy flip of that lever has the tool locked on to your kitchen counter in a few seconds.

The majority of these apple peeler corer slicers will simultaneously perform all three functions. Most will allow you to also do only one of these functions. Most of the blades come in stainless steel. Some are able to cut slices that are only 1/8" thick, while others can cut them at 1/4" or more. The thickness of the slices will depend on the recipe involved and your individual preference. These tools cost around $20 and higher.

Whether you just want to just munch on a juicy apple, or you are making apple sauce, pies, or other dishes, an apple peeler corer slicer will prepare the apples perfectly. If you're into making apple crisp this tool would make it a breeze. It will make short and easy work of an entire bag of apples in no time. You simple turn the handle and you are finished. An apple peeler corer slicer can be quickly set to core only for making baked apples. It's also terrific for making dumplings, too.

Most people will use the peel-only function to peel potatoes and pears too so this tool is multi-functional and will save you quite a bit of time. You can prepare many wonderful meals and/or desserts for your family very quickly with a tool like this, which makes it the perfect gift or gadget for mothers who are employed outside the home. And if you are in the process of teaching your children the joy of cooking, they will be thrilled to help you when you're making dinner or desserts. You may see apples disappear into their mouths at times, but this only means that these tools promote healthful eating.

Many apple peeler corer slicers come with recipe pamphlets, and the cleanup is very easy and fast. To find these great tools at reasonable prices, check out the online retailers that carry them. Before buying, be sure you are aware of the policy concerning returns, whether or not there is a warranty, and what costs will be applied for shipping.
