SC - SC _ Embarrassing queston (apple peeler)

[Susan P Laing]

Yes, yes, yes!!!

This gizmo is absolutely fantastic at streamlining peeling & coring apples.  At
a past event where I was a kitchen hand (Mid winter Coronet invest. held in
Mordenvale), part of final remove was roasted apples (core space stuffed with
raisins) - the pre-prep for the dish (serving around 200) was to my memory very
short indeed,and the equipment so easy to use that the cooks younger brother
(about 10) was in charge of it.

I've priced them over here at about Aust $49.95 for the basic models (just
waiting to justify the purchase :-p)

Hullo, the list!

In connection with the high-volume food-production orgy many Americans
will be engaging in the week to come, I was wondering if anyone has used
those devices that supposedly peel and core (and maybe slice; I forget)
an apple. It's a crank-operated thing you clamp to a tabletop, I think,
and you impale the apple along the core on a spike of some sort, after
which you turn the crank and the peel is removed along principles
similar to a carpenter's lathe.

Now I'm pretty quick with a knife, but I'm being offered this gizmo
essentially as a gift. Is it worth the money of the donor and does it
actually save time and labor?
