Apple Peeler Corer Slicer

Here's an idea. I've done an onion on mine. The onion comes out so thin and fine, it's perfect for french onion soup or for onions to put in a casserole.

------------------------------

I gave the bacon and cheese potato recipe... Core the potato. Combine cheese and cooked bacon or bacon bits in the hole left by the core. Spread out the potato on your stone and bake.

---------------------------

I put a large carrot, and zuchinni on the APCS, (not at the same time) to make curly que garnishes. Used alone or wrapped together it makes a very colorful and different garnish! And kids will eat the carrot done this way... Since it is more fun!

----------------------------

I have done onions on the APCS and really like them that way. You can wrap them around the potatoes and deep fry them and eat them.. they are fabulous!! You can also put the onions and potatoes around a roast, make a pretty garnish. It's kind of messy to do an onion, and you have to have a good onion without a soft middle.

------------------------------

When doing potatoes on the APCS I pull back the peeling blade and always leave the skin on my potatoes. That's where all the nutrients are.

I usually do a potato at my shows--even if I am using an apple. I do the mushroom potato where you pull back the peeling blade and turn the handle until you have gone about half way through the potato. Stop and pull the handle back with the potato half peeled/cored/sliced. When you pull it off of the prongs, the peeled side is white and the top rounded part is brown.

It looks just like a mushroom. Really cute around a roast. They usually buy them for the potatoes rather than the apples.

----------------------------------

APCS the potato, cut off 1/3 of the core, lengthwise, so it is thinner) & put it back into the potato. Fan the potato out over the core. Drizzle with garlic butter. Grate fresh parm cheese over top & bake in DDB. Serve with any slab of meat & vegies & your company will think you are the best cook ever!!!

-----------------------------------

I do use it for carrots as well. It was by accident though. It works best if the carrot is a few days old. Put it through like you would your apple and
it really looks like a slinky and if you cut it once you have carrot rings for your salad.

----------------------------------

Wonderful for onions. Peel first, without peeling blade, core and slice onion. Makes thin rings great for frying, sauteing or just putting on burgers.

-----------------------------------

I was wondering if anyone else mentioned using it for pears. We do this in the Fall and it works great. I wonder why HO doesn't suggest this--we have a pear recipe in the Stoneware Cookbook and they don't put it in the recipe and I will since it will increase the $ amount of products used in the recipe...used it on a pear the other day - awesome. I have a customer that bragged about a pear pie recipe that she uses our product with. I am waiting to get a copy.

-----------------------------------

I do candied apples (don't peel, just core and slice) and fill hole with some brown sugar and carmel. Put in my DDB/SBB combination and bake.

------------------------------------

I stuff potatoes that have been cored and sliced (not peeled) with mozzarella cheese, or sour cream and chives, or garlic butter, or taco mixture, or whatever I have leftover :) and plug ends with tips of core and bake on my stone. Nummy!!!

-------------------------------------

I core and slice onions on my apcs. They come off in strips that are great for sauteeing (sp) or for  putting on roasts. I've also peeled, cored, and
sliced pears (apple wedger works great on them, too!). One customer told me she does carrots on the APCS. I tried it. She must just peel them because I
got carrot "shreds" as it tried to fit through the corer. DUH!!!! Oh, well.

----------------------------------------------

Use a turnip to create a great garnish for a salad bar or pot luck.

Use onion for French fried onion rings

Use potatoes for piggly-wiggly fries or for mashed potatoes that cook quick

Use potatoes w/o the peeler - core half way down and carefully pull potatoes back to make a "mushroom" - looks great with a roast

----------------------------------------------

Use the APCS with the thick slice blade to make pear preserves, my grandmother uses it and she is 83, the pear preserves are wonderful. My grandfather also makes pear relish. So the apple peeler can be used for more than just apples, potatoes, and onions. People buy my APCS because of using for pears, because I have a big jar of granny's pear preserves on my display beside of the APCS.
