Corers And PeelersTime Savers for the Busy Cook
Corers and vegetable peelers are not an absolute necessities for home cooks. They are, however, great time savers if you eat certain foods.
For example, my family and I eat a lot of apples. A hand held utensil saves me prep time when I want to make apple crisp or apple pie. I can use this same tool on pears and certain other foods. 
A hand-held tool like the one pictured above or like the to the right costs about $8, but I recently decided to try something else. I spent about $20 on a counter top machine that does it all like the one pictured here.
Mine is from "Back to Basics," Model A505 and it works great. Not all of these kitchen utensils are created equal, however, so if you want one, do your homework. Research the item through the source listed below.
A tomato shark is also nice to have. It does a good job of quickly and safely removing the tomato core.
I usually use a knife to core a pineapple but some people I know want the pineapple flesh left in one piece with only the core removed. Yes, they make tools to deal with pineapples, too.
You can see there is a variety of corers, slicers and peelers that are available. Now it's your turn to have some fun researching your needs or desires. Have fun!
