4.0 out of 5 stars Husband now prepares own apples! December 8, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase
I like eating apple wedges with skin on, and so does my husband. However he doesnt like to fiddle with paring knives and I sometimes skip this healthy snack, just from laziness. It sometimes seems a lot of work performing the usual quartering and then cutting out little pieces of core from the quarter, ending with core bits and seeds and juice dripped around. I decided to try a corer, so I initially purchased another brand of corer, last month , but after one use I repackaged it and took it back - the cut diameter was way too small for the size of apples i like (large Red Delicious). Most of the core was still inside the apple! Then I ordered this OXO one from Amazon, due to the good reviews.

I can say yes it really works very well. Actually so well that my husband will now fix himself his own apple snacks with it.

This OXO corer is easy to handle, easy to clean, and it takes out a decent sized core, with almost no missed core left behind. It removes a circle of twice the area of the old useless one i returned. The actual inner diameter of the OXO corer is 3/4 inch or 19 mm. The thickness of the actual steel is 1 mm. The length of the steel is just around 4 inches long and the rubber handle is just about 4 inches long. The rubber handle is oval in cross section and there is decent sized hole at the end of the handle for hanging it up . There are nice little rubber "fins" build in to the rubber handle to make pressing down easy on the thumb and fingertips.

For the person who was concerned about the browning on the cut surface: yes this happens , it hardly makes the apple piece unpalatable, but to explain what is happening - this is just a bit of pulverized apple flesh that has been deposited on the cut surface, made of juice and broken cells of the apple which browns so fast in air, you see it within seconds. The color is natural oxidation of the fruit juice/pulp, it's not from the corer instrument. When you use the corer, the "cut" surface is a saw cut, so it is microscopically a bit more ragged than when using a knife. If the corer were to have a sharp tapered edge I imagine it would be a lot more expensive to manufacture, and if it were made of very thin steel the tool would be flimsy . Anyway if it's important to have the core be white, just rinse/drop the cored apple in to a anti-browning solution right away until you are ready to do whatever else you are doing to segment up the fruit. But I think unless entering your apple recipe in the county fair, most people would agree they would not bother with this blanching the core procedure.

I gave a rating of only 4 stars becuase I can't say how long it will be servicable for, however it does appear to be well made. I would only say that for the price, if it lasts me one year of coring just one apple per day, it will have definitely paid for itself, and should then be rated 5 stars.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works pretty darn good! May 12, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase
I was a little skeptical about this because the corers I've used in the past usually just mangled the apple. This one gives a nice clean cut and goes in and out relatively easy. The only fault which really isn't the product's fault is that the apple needs to be perfectly straight up and down to get ALL of the core out and can waste a little bit of apple if it's not.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome!
Huge timesaver. However, if the apple is not perfectly symmetrical it is difficult to get all of the seeds out in the first pass, but overall it's a great product.

My last corer snapped the handle after at least 25 years. Even though I live in an area of over 50,000, there were no corers whatsoever in the stores. Read more

I don't mean to name-drop, but I had an apple corer for days of yore (cough cough Pampered Chef cough cough).... thought I would replace it with something more 'modern'. WRONG!!! Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Simple Tool
This corer is simple to use although I find that I usually need to use it twice with each fruit to ensure that all of the seeds are removed. It's easy to clean as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why did it take me so long to buy this?
I no longer loathe using apples in recipes. An apple corer really does save time and reduces waste. I've used this about 15 times and it's still going strong.

This is a perfect quick and easy helper when you have two hungry toddlers that want their apples "big" and not sliced. I would definitely recommend.

I use this thing every time I deal with apples. You just press down and twist, and out pops the core! Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Super easy to use
This Corer is extremely easy to use. you just do a little twisting and it goes through the entire fruit. My only gripe would be that I wish it were a tiny big larger in diameter. Read more
