Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Starfrit 93013 Pro-Apple Peeler with bonus core slicer
Customer Review: awesome apple peeler
Summary: 5 Stars
My family has tried many different apple peelers, some quite expensive, but everyone seems to prefer this one. When we gather to peel bushels of apples to make apple butter, this is the coveted apple peeler...and the team with the Starfrit Pro-Apple Peeler always peels the most apples !! My parents recently took it to our church when they were making hundreds of apple dumplings for a fund raiser. Needless to say, we ordered another one for the church kitchen and some of the helpers that day ordered one for their own home use. It is also great when peeling apples to place on the food dehydrator. The price is very reasonable. I have had mine for over 5 years and I haven't even changed the blade yet, although extra blades are provided. I try not to submerge it in water when cleaning, but if it does need a good cleaning, it easily comes apart by removing a few screws and easily goes right back together when dry. The bonus core ejector is great, too. This is a great gift idea!! Buy 2 or more and qualify for free shipping.Customer Review: Oh Boy! This is a treat for arthritic hands!!! Excellent tool!!!

The peeler came today and I must say that anyone who says it doesn't work, is doing something wrong.
This thing is wonderful. I peeled about 15 apples in no time, had them cut up and in the pot for fresh applesauce in record time.
This does NOT slice the apples. It only peels them. (which is what I wanted)
And the best part? No sore hands.
When you have arthritis in both thumb joints, peeling anything is difficult.
This little tool makes it fun and at the same time, a speedy job of it.
Don't immerse it in water. Just wipe it down and dry it off before you cover the blade and prongs with the safety shields.
Oh, it also comes with 2 extra blades.
I haven't tried potatoes on it yet, but I'm betting it will make quick work of them also.
So if you are looking for an apple peeler, this one is the cat's meow.
Customer Review: This thing works perfectly=)
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this because my husband doesn't like apple peels and I have a few recipes that call for apples. I love to make them, but I don't love peeling and cutting up the apples. So, after seeing this recommended on a blog, I purchased it. I didn't even use it for a few months, but when I did...I was hooked. It works perfectly. I was a little worried at first because I have a kind of textured counter top and I thought it wouldn't work if it wasn't suctioned down, but it worked perfectly. It actually worked so well that my 4 year old son peeled 5 apples with it. He just turned the handle, but that shows how very easy this thing is to operate. It also comes with a couple of replacement blades, which I was happy about. I recommend this to anyone who peels apples, even if you don't do it that often, it's worth it. I will be making my apple recipes a lot more often now=)Customer Review: I Love this thing!

It used to take me at least a minute or two a piece to peel an individual apple. (That can take up a lot of your time when you peel at least 10 apples at a time) Now it takes me about 5 seconds to peel a whole apple. I no longer cut off more of the flesh than needed because the peeler is so consistent and cuts long strands of apple skin off and it's great to feed the critters out in the back yard!
The corer and slicer that come with it are also a big bonus. That helps immensely!
A word of caution though... they aren't kidding when they say that the blade is very sharp. Be very careful with the blade, as I was drying off the blade after rinsing it and the blade cut through the dish towel and sliced my finger pretty good. It's a good thing that it's so sharp... just be very careful handling it.
Customer Review: Terrific Product
Summary: 5 Stars
This product works! I used the pealer on approximately 80 lbs of apples of very different sizes and shapes. On occasion due to the odd shape of the apple I ran it through the peeler a second time with great results. This is tough little machine.
I chose it because I thought that it would help my 8 yr old son enjoy helping with the apple harvest and processing ordeal we go through every year. I thought he would like to watch the gears move. Well he loved it. We all loved it. I even purchased a second unit for my Mom.
The bonus core ejector not only works as an apple corer, it is a great apple gun (similar to a potato gun, just for much older kids). The bonus slicer is also handy, how ever the slices could be smaller.
I highly recommended this product.
