I sliced dozens upon dozens of apples for six different apple tarts I tested for the upcoming holiday ( Ina Garten's being my favorite). To say I put the Tatida apple peeler through its paces would be an understatement. To clean it, you simply submerge the whole thing in soapy water and rinse it off. The whole thing takes almost no energy, with the most difficult part being getting the apple onto the spikes - which, compared to traditional peeling, coring, and slicing, is an absolute walk in the park. If you only want to peel, and not core and slice it, you simply move the blade and corer down via a small lever. This creates a peeled apple sliced into a 1/3-inch spiral slice. At the same time, a U-shaped peeler rids the apple of its skin. Then, you core the apple, top-side into the spikes, and when you wind the crank, it pushes the apple forward through the coring and slicing blades. I use a steel table, and it really grips it well. The suction cup holds onto any non-porous surface and the turning lever affixes it to your table.
It's designed to be user-friendly, and the only thing you have to do to assemble it is screw on the handle. The Tatida apple peeler is made of chrome-cast magnesium alloy with steel blades and a rubber base. It looks like a crank with spikes on a suction cup, and essentially, that's what it is - and its simplicity is what makes it so great. Certainly, it doesn't resemble any kitchen tool I've ever purchased. Opening the peeler, it looked a bit like something you'd find in your grandfather's workshop, or perhaps a medieval torture chamber. My kitchen overfloweth with gorgeous Stayman winesaps, Black Oxfords, and cameos. To say we had apples in abundance would be putting it mildly. It just so happened that the day before it arrived, my family and I went to the orchard. I thought, “What could it hurt? I’ll try it.” So I one-clicked that bad boy and promptly forgot about it until it arrived a few days later.
The peeler was apparently sturdy steel, had thousands of five-star reviews, and it was under just $20. I’m not ruling that out.)īut in all seriousness, the ad genuinely caught my attention. (Probably due to all the apples I buy at Whole Foods, but it could also very well be that the algorithm is a sinister entity that reads my mind and hears my every conversation. Peeling takes forever, chopping them with a knife can lead to uneven slices, and using an apple slicer is annoying and creates chunks that are too large.Īs is the way of the magical internet, Amazon was able to read my mind once again, apparently, and showed me a nifty 3-in-1 apple peeler, corer, and slicers tool in my ads. One task, though, has always irritated me - peeling and chopping apples. Even the prep work of getting the meals together and chopping veggies and herbs is soothing. Simply put, it relaxes me and brings me joy. The Solution: The Tatida apple peeler, corer, and slicer lets you peel and chop an apple in a matter of seconds. I make a ton of applesauce, apple pies, apple tarts, and apple cakes - and peeling, coring, and slicing them has forever been a pain. The Problem: I bake with a lot of apples.
