This review is from: Dalla Piazza Apple Slicer/Corer (Kitchen)

We sell a wonderful American-made slicer at my family farm, Soons Orchards, but it does only 8 slices. This does 12, which makes a difference in chopping time for when we do applesauce, for example. (Our bakery is also using it.) I also plan to use it when we're busy in the fall for apple sampling. It's very heavy (which is good) and the raised handles are a nice touch. It is a sharp tool, of course, so keep it away from little hands.

This review is from: Dalla Piazza Apple Slicer/Corer (Kitchen)

Based on the heft, finish, feel i expected so much of this unit. It has an easy to clean chrome finish, the blades are serrated and sharp to ease cutting, and it has a large diameter and would fit my favorite Braeburn apples! All that and 12 slices had me pretty pumped! In use the unit cut very well and the raised handles made holding it easy. The slice size is perfect for snacking.

Unfortunately there are low points. The bottom of the blades are not level with the base and so it does not quite cut all the way through. This left me having to find a way to make the final push-through of the apple without cutting myself. The center coring hole is maybe 3-4 mm too small in diameter for a large apple, meaning a bit of the seed pockets are left on your slices. Lastly, build quality. On about the 12th time using the corer it failed completely; the welds on nearly all the blades broke at once, and the blade assembly came clear out of the inner ring (I posted a pic above). This is unacceptable on a 3 week old tool! Too bad, for all the initial potential it was unable to live up to it.

Dalla Piazza Apple Slicer
As a category, apple corers/slicers aren't up there with air, water, and Monday Night Football, but this one is a pleasurable example of its species . With sharp slicing and coring edges (careful) and large handles with clearance to protect your knuckles from a too-enthusiastic down-stroke, the Dalla slicer is fast, and easy to clean after you extract your neat slices, The only drawback is some difficulty in slicing very large apples. It takes all my weight and some rocking action, but normal-sized apples core and divide quickly and simply with little effort. Some say it's pricey for a simple slicer (my wife, for example), but it's so well made it should last long enough to pass down to your children, and they to theirs.
