Re: OT - Sprial Apple Peeler?

[Guest guest]

I use the one from the pampered chef. https://www.pamperedchef.com/ordering/prod_search.tpc

Has the amount of pectin in the skins ever bothered any of you before? Katy

I've been using a spiral apple peeler/corer for 5 years; was given one not long

after I started SCD. I make a batch of applesauce each week, and having this

tool really makes the job go quickly.

But, there are two areas on it that are sharp, and could cause some damage to a

child (or adult). Might not be wise to let your 4-year olds use the device

unattended. In other words, you'd have to be right there keeping an eye on

them.

It does make the job of peeling and coring apples much easier and faster. And if

your boys are like my father and brothers, they will be fascinated by the tool

and how it works...

My peeler doesn't have a brand name on it, but I've seen it available at kitchen

shops and online sources. I am still using the one given to me five years ago.

And considering I have used it once a week for five years to peel 10 to 14

apples, that is a good recommendation for being sturdy and cost-effective. I

just replaced the blade on the peeler/corer last year.

Not that I am aware of - hmm. Interesting. I will let you know after I make a

batch without skins if I notice a difference.

Good advice - thanks Kim! Perhaps my husband can start to get in on the action

too

Appreciate it!
