Best Gadget Ever

[physichull]

I had my doubts, but it worked perfectly!

Best, and perhaps most ridiculously over-engineered kitchen gadget ever!

I saw your FB post about this and just thought "why?!".

I do like unskinned apples, but I think I'll just stick to quartering them and then slicing off the skins with my knife. Could you deskin grapes with it? Deskinned white grapes are amazing.

 

[physichull]

Haha, its not really a question of why, I own it because of the sheer novelty.

I actually prefer apples with the skin on, but you can removed the peeler from it if you wish and just core and slice it.

Unfortunately the tension on the spring and the device itself does not lend itself to grapes, but maybe if you got a really, really big grape....

that just mean you have to eat it REALLY fast before it goes brown all over

Achievable!

But the skin is the best bit..

But the skin is the best bit..

Indeed, I only leave the stalk, pips, and label

 

[physichull]

I can send you the spent skin if you like? It comes off in one length. pm me your home address and I'll get it sorted!

But surely you need all the fibre from the skin in order to get physichull, physichull?

 

[physichull]

The only real purpose of the device's peeler is for when you make apple pies and other recipes where the skin is surpless to requirements. As said in an earlier post, you can remove the peeler, and just use it as a corer and slicer, but it ain't as cool!

Disclaimer: The definition of "cool" may vary.

The UMP and Gustav may just be a little too heavy for me to carry in future if I don't eat the peel. I may have to resort to pistol only and a defib to keep me going!

There's loads of soluble fibre in the flesh

I'm sure you'll manage somehow

My comment was just a bit of an in-joke with Physichull rather than a serious question.

 

[physichull]

The man does speak the truth though. I researched this because of your comment Frenchy, so you can't be surprised that somebody else answered your comment!

Anyway...that's unimportant...all hail the magnificence of....the Apple Peeler/Corer/Slicer!

In German: Apfelschaler!

It has a much better ring to it in German.....

Schalt! Schneidet! Und entkernt gleichzeitig! Schnell!

 

[FrenchTart]

Yeah. All I did was google the nutritional value of the skin so I could say "don't you need *insert thing here*"

I also wanted to respond with something in a cheeky cockney accent. "core blimey", etc.

Do it with cucumber, courgettes and other vegetables; they'll taste better just because of the novelty factor!

 

[dfarrall]

Nah not that great, apples are easy to sort anyway.

The pineapple corer is the best gadget ever, removes all the lovely pineapple and just leaves the shell. minimum effort!

 

[physichull]

There's no pleasing some people....

 

[randomshenans]

I really want one so I can do potatoes and then cook them off as curly fries!

Hahaha! Interesting idea!

It may be a bit too flimsy to cope with some potatoes but I'll definately give it a go!
