HIC Kitchen's Apple Slicer and Corer cuts 8 uniform-sized wedges and separates them from the core in a single motion. This helpful kitchen gadget and baking tool quickly cores and slices pink lady, granny smith, fuji, honeycrisp, and other types of apples, as well as pears. It's ideal for both apples and pears, and prepares fruit for salads, apple sauce, apple or pear butter, apple pies, pear tarts, and more. Its non-slip silicone handles offer a secure grip even when hands are wet. Center the cutter blades over the top of the apple or pear, press downward firmly until the blades reach the bottom, then remove the fruit wedges. Made from stainless steel, silicone, and food-safe plastic, HIC Kitchen's Apple Slicer and Corer is sturdy, durable, easy to use, and dishwasher safe for easy cleanup.
