If you start and stop—either on purpose or because of a bruised or otherwise misshapen apple—the peel can get tangled and take you off-track. It looked great when first taken out of the box, but during assembly, some of the parts did not fit correctly. If you want, you can also disengage the peeler to just core and slice, or remove the coring and slicing blade to just peel. The swivel also swiftly and quickly peeled thick-skinned sweet potatoes, with barely any work on our end.

I have bags of apples each year, all home grown so they are not a perfect shape and some fail the apple corer and have to done by hand but the majority work well. Push down on the spring plate next to the handle to release the rotating bar then draw back and fix the apple onto the 3 prongs. A handheld peeler is a kitchen staple used for potatoes, carrots, and just about anything else that needs peeling. But when it comes to prepping the apples to fill the aforementioned pie or making applesauce for Rosh Hashanah?The peeler, on the other hand, took 2 minutes to use, and it has less surface area than many of the others she tested. The full set does take up more room than a single peeler, but we appreciate that each has a blade guard to keep your fingers safe. It seems that the apple peeler can be used to create spiralized vegetables very well, like zucchini, however, you wouldn’t necessarily put an apple through your zoodle maker. They also tested the coring and slicing functions and used the gadgets with other fruits and vegetables when they could. The peeled, sliced, and cored apple falls away easily, leaving just the core attached to the prongs.

A hand crank is also low effort and combines tasks like coring and slicing, while a handheld requires the most effort since the peel is removed one stroke at a time. It may not have the technology to core and slice your apples, but it fits compactly in your kitchen drawer and can complete the task within seconds.Many peeler manufacturers, from handheld to electric, will outline the various fruits and vegetables their peeler can be used for. If you already have a KitchenAid Stand Mixer, you can't go wrong with the KitchenAid Spiralizer attachment for peeling, coring, and slicing your apples. We found that apples, potatoes, and many other fruits and vegetables can be peeled easily and efficiently by this machine, but keep in mind that it does not core or slice. Senior editor Jennifer Hunter says that the apple peeler she used all the time growing up—on an organic vegetable farm in Oregon—looked exactly like our staff favorite, too.

Coring an apple is easy as well—it took us around 7 seconds—and it requires very little pressure on the handle. Make some Apple Scrap Jelly or Homemade Apple Pectin or help the planet by making your own in-home compost bin. I give it a quick mention in the video below and direct you to a review that follows — my mom put it together a few years back. This attachment set comes with multiple items to help you slice, core, peel, and spiralize a variety of fruits and vegetables. As the leaves start turning and temperatures cool down, we often think about what cooler months promise for our tables—and our apples.She has a Master's degree in Food Studies, passed the WSET Level 2, Wines, with Distinction, and has written two cookbooks. For many bakers, autumn doesn’t just mean crisp weather, sweaters, and changing leaves; it also means apple season. The ProCook Apple Wizard is made from black enamelled heavy-duty stainless steel and features a non-slip suction cup on the base to keep it secure on your work surface. Our home tester also notes to be careful when pushing the corer through so as not to pierce your hand.

The handle is easy and comfortable to hold for both right- and left-handed folks, and the corer is easy to use and works really well, according to Samantha—it took about 30 seconds to do its job. I recently peeled, cored, and sliced nine large apples—about the amount you’d need for most apple pie recipes—and cleaned everything up, all in under five minutes. There are plastic hand crank countertop peelers, but I find the cast iron or metal version to be more eco-friendly, longer-lasting, and generally more appealing (maybe it’s the classic, old-fashioned vibe they have). This is definitely a multitasking tool: The robotic arm adjusts to accommodate different sizes and textures so you aren't limited to apples. And whether you’re a home cook or running a bakery, if you’re working with apples, an apple peeler is an essential kitchen tool.

It took a few minutes to set up and understand the mechanics of it all— probably around five minutes. The suction base which holds the machine securely onto your work surface, so you have both hands free.
