![]() Requires countertop deep enough for clamp This attachment also includes a one-year manufacturer's warranty (though in general, it should last much longer). The blades and peeler are all dishwasher safe, but the main body of the spiralizer has to be washed by hand, which is an easy task because it doesn't tend to get much food on it. Still, this is a particularly versatile attachment as it was able to slice any veggie or fruit our tester tried-even dense sweet potatoes. The peeler worked well for our tester's apple crisps, but she did note that irregular shapes (like a sweet potato) can cause it to skip small sections of peel. After some trial and error, our tester was able to core apples successfully ("uniform pieces that were easy to remove"). The slicing and spiralizing functions performed extremely well in tests and will definitely save you time in the kitchen. Our tester used the attachment to peel, slice, and spiralize apples for apple crisps and found all the blades to be extremely sharp. The parts include a fine spiralizer, a medium spiralizer, a spiral slice (small core), a spiral slice (large core), and a peeler. ![]() As with all of the KitchenAid attachments, this one is sturdy and hardworking. If you already own a KitchenAid mixer, this attachment makes peeling, coring, and slicing apples and other fruit and vegetables a breeze. ![]() Here, the best apple peelers, slicers, and corers, according to extensive real-life testing.įor serious cooks and bakers, the KitchenAid mixer and its attachments are some of the best investments you can make. We tested a wide range of options-from electric to manual and handheld to countertop-so each home cook and aspiring apple pie baker can find the right fit for their kitchen. ![]() Then, they rated each one on design, versatility, performance, ease of use, cleaning, and overall value. They spent hours peeling, coring, and slicing apples in addition to other veggies. To figure out which peelers are the best for apples, we sent top-rated options to our expert home testers. Not all peelers are created alike and some are designed to be multipurpose tools. But what about all the work involved? Peeling, coring, and slicing apples can be a chore, but like with anything in the kitchen, there’s usually a way to make it easier, and that comes down to the right tools. Truthfully, though, apples need to be peeled year-round whether you simply prefer to eat them unpeeled or need them for a recipe. Apple pies, apple cobblers, apple crunches, apple butters, apple preserves, and apple chutneys are all great choices for seasonal fare. Galen Lehman, the son of the founder of Lehman's, has informed me that his company also produces other hard-to-find items like vintage style corn planters, butter churns, and farm bells.As the leaves start turning and temperatures cool down, we often think about what cooler months promise for our tables-and our apples. Originally made by the Reading Hardware Works in Reading, Pennsylvania, this sturdy machine surprisingly continues to be manufactured and sold right here in Ohio by Lehman's, a well known, fascinating, and eclectic country store located in Kidron, in Ohio's Amish country. Although mechanical apple peelers had been around since the dawn of the 1800's, the Reading machine was tough as nails, and well-designed enough to cleanly peel more than ten apples a minute helping to make apple cider, apple butter, and apple sauce relative snaps to prepare. ![]() This amazing original Reading 78 Apple peeler, (patented in 1872, and first produced in 1878) that you see in the photo, was one of those inventions. The 19th century was a time of many great inventions in our country. Perhaps you've read of the adventures of the preacher, John Chapman, perhaps better know as "Johnny Appleseed," and his oft-barefooted walk through this state, establishing apple orchards.
