HIC Kitchen Apple Slicer and Corer

The slicer is designed to accommodate standard-sized apples and pears. While it works well for most grocery store varieties, extremely large apples may require you to trim the sides slightly before pressing down.

Yes, the stainless steel blades are engineered to be sharp and durable. They slice through crisp apples and pears with minimal effort, though you should always use the tool on a stable, flat cutting board.

The silicone handles are designed for a non-slip, ergonomic grip. This provides extra stability and comfort, which is particularly helpful if your hands are slightly damp or if you are processing a large batch of fruit.

This tool is dishwasher safe, making cleanup simple. However, to keep the stainless steel blades sharp for as long as possible, hand washing with warm, soapy water is often recommended.

While specifically designed for apples and pears, it can technically work on other similarly sized, firm fruits. Just keep in mind that the core diameter is sized for apples, so it may not remove the pits of stone fruits like peaches or plums effectively.
