Peel and Slice
My husband is super excited about a birthday present he just received — he has been scouring our cookbooks looking for reasons to use it! What is this wonder gadget? An apple peeler!
This one little tool will peel, core, and slice your apple in about 10 seconds. After that you have one long ribbon of apple slices, which is a lot more fun to eat than a whole apple or even traditional apple slices. A couple slices into the ribbon and you have finely diced pieces ready for muffins, breads, and cake.
Are you not that into apples? The peeler does a great job on potatoes and pears as well. In fact, it comes with instructions for making potato shreds for easy hash browns.
The best thing about this peeler, though, is the kid appeal. Kids love turning the handle to feed the apples through, and it really does seem like magic when the apple ribbons start popping out. It’s also very safe, a lot less likely to result in cuts than a regular fruit and vegetable peeler.
