Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Pinzon Apple and Potato Peeler, Corer, and Slicer
Customer Review: Spirals, spirals, spirals, sp... OH!
Summary: 4 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
It wasn't until I re-read the item description that I figured out how to make this item stop turning everything in to peeled spirals, as mine arrived with no instructions.
The Pinzon peeler is very well made, and can tear through apples about as fast as you can turn the crank. I was really surprised and impressed by how well it cores apples, too. I've probably run 50 or so through this, and not a single seed!
Keep in mind that this peeler isn't even remotely safe to have around young children, between the spikes that hold the apple or potato in place, the peeling blade, and the spiral blade. Fortunately, the suction cup does a very good job of keeping the peeler in place, and it comes off just as easily.
My only real gripe with it is that it's kind of a pain to wash.
Customer Review: Wish I had bought this sooner
Summary: 5 Stars
I love apples but can't stand the peel on the apple. It has always been a pain to remove the peel then cut the good part of the apple away from the core leading me to not eat many apples. Not anymore, after buying this apple peeler, I'll be eating many more apples. This machine makes the process so easy and relaxing that I look forward to having an apple. It takes the skin off, cuts the apple and removes the core, what more could you ask for, plus it does a great job. If you want to make apple pie and you need large slices of apple then you would want to remove the cutting blade, which is simple, because the slices are to thin. So far all the apples I've used have been peeled perfectly except for right up at the top there is sometimes a little skin left but that disappears when the core is removed.
It is easy to clean and the suction on the bottom works great after the first time using it.
Customer Review: Apple Wizardry!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this apple peeler for my daughter in her new home because I have always loved mine. It makes the process of coring apples for chunky applesauce or apple pies a breeze. As long as you can get a good seal on the suction to hold it in place, you are good to go and a bushel of apples will be conquered in no time. It is possible to either remove the peel or leave it in place and neither big nor small apples are a problem. It is fascinating to older kids who always volunteer to help when they see what I am doing and the younger kids always come to pilfer the strips of peel! In fact, my grandson who is a picky eater is now proudly poking his fingers through the hole left by the apple core and eating the apples right off his hand. To keep the blades sharp make sure to wash the gadget right after use--the acidic juice will dull the corer and peeler.Customer Review: Super Apple Pealer
Summary: 5 Stars
This is so fast and easy to use. It works for eating apples fresh, or just coring and peeling pounds of them for pies. Instantly peels, cores and slices. I do mean fast! Just push the apple on the prongs, and crank away. Love the little connected slices. For apple dippers either just lift and break them into sections, or cut down once and they are ready. For a pie I just stand them on end and make two cuts down. The peel is in one curly ribbon section and great to munch on also. Always wash the apples first. It can be adjusted to core only or peel only. The cleanup is easy. The family is eating at least twice as many apples and I do not have a problem with that. Great quality, easy to adjust, use and clean up, and very affordable. This thing works!Customer Review: It works. Watch out for soft spots.
Summary: 5 Stars
This appears to be the same peeler, corer, slicer that's sold all over for a wide range of prices. The suction cup holds well. Works as described. BUT, if there is a soft spot on the apple, the peeler may not continue to peel after hitting it. It seems like the peeler portion digs in too far at the soft spot, then just quits. A simple reapplication of the peeler arm and all's well.
You can run the two portions of this device solo. So, you can peel and not core or slice, or you can core and slice without peeling.
There was also an extra corer/ slicer arm in the box. The instructions are ok, but it's pretty self explanatory.
