OXO Good Grips Apple Divider

OXO Good Grips Apple Divider

Although this product is very good at coring and slicing apples (provided you can keep the apple steady), it doesn't quite meet at the bottom - meaning that once you have pushed down as far as you can go, you still need to "finish the job" with a knife to get the apple slices out of the corer.
And, it's very very sharp - so be careful when handling it!!

I used a similar product at a friends house and thought how quick and easy it was. The OXO Good Grips one, however, is very disappointing. It slices and cores apples easily but it doesn't cut right through them. It is then very difficult to remove the slices and core without slicing my fingers on the very sharp blades. I'm afraid I am back to using a knife instead.

This is a great wee gadget. It doesn't slice all the way to the bottom of the apple as mentioned by the other reviewers, but this is not a bad thing. Simply push down on the apple from the top and it will slip back through the corer. Then the apple can be torn from the core very easily, or for a packed lunch, left on the core, wrapped in a bit of cling film and popped in the lunch box to be unwrapped later without having gone as brown as it would if cut and put in a box. My son wouldn't eat apples at lunchtime until I started doing this. I really wouldn't be without mine.
