Handy Tool

[reinhard1]

Ya, nothing new but I've had this hanging around the house and haven't used it.  Time to use it.  I have some ideas for this today.  I will see how it works.  This is a potato I ran through this morning as a test run.  What do you guy's use this for besides skinning apples?  I'm thinking outside the box already.  good luck.

the question begs..........what part of the tater you planning to cook? looks like a lot of waste unless your gonna use the peeling also............which wouldn't surprise me!!!!!!!

I use the apple peeler on potatoes when I'm making chips or scalloped potatoes. It's much quicker, after I run them through the peeler I stand up on end and cut down through the potatoes it make the same size half moons. The "core" u can cut up & use in the scalloped but it does waste a lot when making chips

Yes the core remains.  When you run it out of the front, a lot of the flesh stays on along with the peel.  However there is a peeler on the side for just peeling.  When I use this it will be to use the whole potato.  Like today The spiral will be used to wrap around a stuffed chicken breast.  May be a flop but I'll give it a shot and the core will be added to other potatoes for mashed potatoes.  I'm hopping for a crispy outside.  I'm going to spray some olive oil around the finished wrapped breast in hope's for a crispy exterior from the potato wrap.  good luck.

I remember a friends of mines mom got one of those years ago.  First time I saw one and we thought it was the neatest thing ever invented.  There wasn't a safe apple in the area.  They bought a bushel basket of apples so we ate them till we were sick of them..    Good idea.
