I&#8217;m not usually a fan of this class of future-trash. However, using <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B00CJYR1GG\/cooltools-20\">this thing<\/a> is \/so\/ much quicker than quartering and coring with a knife, and when you want to turn 12 lbs of tiny juicing apples into applesauce before dinner (tis the season!) efficiency counts. <\/p>\n<p>So, for occasional bulk processing, this is a very practical tool that doesn&#8217;t take up too much space and isn&#8217;t fussy to clean. And once you have it around, you might as well use it for slicing single apples for snacking. It does a very tidy job. <\/p>\n<p>This is how I use the tool: <\/p>\n<p>\u2022 cut a few apples in half, girth wise (so you see the star in the middle). The halved apples have flat bottoms, which makes pressing the tool easier and more stable. <\/p>\n<p>\u2022 center the tool on the core\/stem area, and press down. <\/p>\n<p>\u2022 turn the tool over and press the core out from the underside with your thumb, then push the slices into the pot.<\/p>\n<p>This is probably not the finest version of this tool, it&#8217;s just the one I have. <\/p>\n<p>Other versions are cheaper and have the handles raised up a bit to make a little more space for your knuckles, which seems smart. For aesthetic reasons I prefer a plastic-free tool, which this is.<\/p>\n<div class='ctx-module-container ctx_default_placement ctx-clearfix'><\/div><span class=\"ctx-article-root\"><!-- --><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quickly core and section apples<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[26],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30038"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30038"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30038\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30040,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30038\/revisions\/30040"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30038"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30038"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30038"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
