OK, so what could be so different about an apple corer? They have a round tube with teeth to cut through the apple, and if you’re pretty accurate, you get rid of the core and most of the seeds. I’ve used one for years, and never thought much about it... except when I had to stick my finger in between those sharp little teeth to dislodge the last piece of core. And while I never actually injured myself, I always felt a bit apprehensive.
Cuisipro, who has earned design awards from MOMA for many of their products, came up with a great solution to this problem: an apple corer that actually opens to release the apple core. When I saw it, it was one of those “why didn’t someone think of this earlier” moments! In addition, the pistol grip makes this tool easier both to hold and to apply leverage in exactly the right way, to make cutting through the apple a pleasure. With its sharp teeth and great design, this apple corer really helps when you’re preparing your apples or anything from baked apples to apple pie to apple sauce. But this is not just a unitasker.
