Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Amco Dial-A-Slice Adjustable Apple Corer and Slicer
Customer Review: Makes quick work of apples when I'm packing lunches
Summary: 4 Stars
Since I wake up earliest I pack the lunches of our 3 school age kids. The boys like apples, sliced, and to save precious time in the morning I felt that buying a slicer would be a wise choice.
Heck, who am I trying to fool? I like kitchen gadgets and slicing apples for lunches gave me an excuse to buy another kitchen toy.
America's Test Kitchen (Cooks Illustrated magazine) rated a Williams-Sonoma slicer as their top pick - that slicer is exactly the same as this one, just re-branded. Overall I'm happy with it, though it's not perfect.
Pros:
- Sharp blades, cuts through apples with ease.
- Easy to switch from 8 to 16 wedges.
- Removes entire core
- Snap-on lid makes it safe to store in a drawer.
Cons:
- When set for 8 slices, blades don't align perfectly so apple can get stuck in between them.
- Locking mechanism can be a little fussy, sometimes it's hard to get the slicer to lock in one position.
At Williams-Sonoma they say to hand wash this slicer but I've been running it through the dishwasher without any ill effect. Other reviewers complained the slicer removed an excessively large core but I haven't found that to be the case. Prior to buying this slicer I was using the OXO Good Grips Corer (coincidentally ATK's top apple corer). I usually had to run the corer through the apple 2 or 3 times to get all the core removed - this slicer gets it all the first time through.
It's a handy little slicer. It's not perfect but it gets the job done. The kids like the thinner wedges I get from the 16 slice setting - most slicers cut 8 or maybe 12 slices. The thin wedges are ideal for apple pie as well.
