Apple Corers/Slicers
ools that help cooks prepare apples, whether for snacking or baking, are wonderful time-savers, especially during the bounty of apple-picking season. We tested four crank-style models that peel, core, and/or slice fruit and five push-style models shaped like a wagon wheel that simply core and slice fruit (but leave the peel in place). While push-style devices can be used year-round on both firm and soft fruit, crank-style models require crisp, firm apples that will stay anchored on prongs for the machine to work. We think both styles have a place in your kitchen, whether you are preparing fruit for snacking or baking.
