Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Back To Basics Apple And Potato Peeler
Customer Review: Makes apple peeling a breeze!
Summary: 5 Stars
Once you have set it up and adjusted the blade properly this makes apple peeling a breeze. All apples are of different shapes and sizes but the more spherical the apple the more efficient this peeler works. With a pre-made crust and this peeler I had an apple pie in the oven in about 10 minutes.
I had heard you could use this for potatoes as well but in my experience this does not work very well with potatoes, you lose a lot of the potato since they are more of a cylindrical shape.
Fairly easy to setup, disassemble, and clean. I highly recommend this product for its intended use as it accomplishes the job quite well.
Customer Review: This is replacing the same one that I've had for 10 years
Summary: 5 Stars
I originally purchased this same apple slicer pealer from Lechter's before they went out of business. I've never replaced it because I haven't been able to find another that has the suction to the counter (the Pampered Chef equivalent has to be attached to the counter or something similar with a crank). Like I said, I've had it for about 10 years and it's held up well. The only reason that I'm replacing it is because it's just started to rust and I'm having a hard time cleaning it up. Other than that, it works perfectly. It even comes with a replacement blade (that I never used). I love it and plan on getting another.Customer Review: This is a great find!
Summary: 5 Stars
This Apple and Potato Peeler is fun to work with. I wanted to make Apple Dumplings for the holidays and my friend lent me hers. After using it, I ordered one for myself the same day. It is my new fun gadget for the kitchen. It peels, cores, and spiral cuts the apples in a moment which prepared the apples perfectly for the dumplings or apple pie. It's great for scalloped potatoes also. It adheres to the counter by suction and holds tight. After using, just rinse. It's constructed well and will last for a long time. My friend has had hers for 15 years or so. I have already used it many times. You will love it.Customer Review: Back to Basics Apple and Potato Peeler, vacuum base
Summary: 5 Stars
This kitchen gadget is a great timesaver for pie making, and in addition, since my wife no longer has any teeth, and I have full plates, it enables us to eat apples without cooking them.
In my family, we always called gadgets of this sort "fruit lathes" because that's what they are. There are several brands, each differing in some detail or another, but I picked this one because of 1) the design of the peeling blade, and 2) the availability of replacement parts.
Suffice it to say that the thing works up to expectations ... within an hour of its arrival, we had a pie baking in the oven.
Customer Review: had to send it back!
Summary: 1 Stars
I had the same experience as those who posted the other bad reviews. I thought the adjustability would make this the perfect apple peeler, but even fine-tuning did not stop this thing from leaving the peel on half the apple and taking half the flesh off the other half -- it also mangled the cores, breaking them in half -- as one other reviewer noted, the spring seems very tight and does not follow the curve of the apples. I had another brand that wasn't expensive at all that worked beautifully until I wore it out. Not sure how this gets all the good reviews unless there is a problem with quality control...
