Product Description
Make a quick, simple job of coring apples and pears for baking, canning or fruit salads with this ergonomic tool.

Amazon.com Review
Round, perfect apple rings are simple with this corer by Oxo. With itsdurable stainless-steel head, it slices swiftly through fruit; just shake it to get the core out of the tool. Use it to make pristine baked apples and apple rings, or try it with pears. A soft, oversized, nonslip rubber handle absorbs the pressure the work puts on your hands. With a large hole for hanging, storage is easy. Cleanup is easy, as well--like all Oxo Good Grips tools, this is dishwasher-safe. --Laurie Notaro

This is a nice sturdy corer; I wanted one like my grandmas but this one works as well.

When the late night munchies set in, and all the M&M's, Reese cups & chocolates are all gone, it's time to turn to FRUIT! This coring device is just the ticket.

Using moderate twisting downward force that is centered on the core, apples, pears etc, are cored quite cleanly, almost all the time. The times it is not perfect are either because you weren't perfectly centered on the core when you pushed down (happens to the best of us occasionally), or the core is unusually larger than normal. Well you just look down the hole where the core USED TO BE, and "trim" any leftover seeds or core remnants by selectively "coring" again. You end up with fruit that you can LOOK THROUGH.

Let's face it...when eating an apple or a pear, the end result is that you are stuck looking for a place to ditch a fruit core. With one of these, all you end up with is damp fingers, from handling a washed apple (you DID wash it before you ate it, didn't you? hahaha). It is hard to overstate the COOL FACTOR about this. When you are done eating a CORED apple, the apple is COMPLETELY GONE from your hand.

If you looked at this web page in search of a good corer, then you will in all likelihood be happy with this after you try it.



3 out of 5 stars Not Real Good For Large Apples   April 1, 2010

I bought this corer based on previous reviews but now I see my review is the only one here and I don't know why that happened. Nonetheless, I usually buy big apples to prepare for dehydration. This corer will not take all of the core out of big apples. It's very well made and sturdy and the handle is easy to grip. The reason for the 3 stars is that it's bore is average size, and it needs to have sharp edges on the long sides so that you can easily turn it in the apple while applying pressure downwards to make a nice, clean removal of the core. It can still be turned, but it takes more force to do so since the sides are blunt and causes the apples to bleed more juice than they need too and hence, a bigger mess to clean up. Simply ramming it through the apple with no turning at the same time is more violent and a waste of energy. (I made all "A's" in college physics so I think about things like that!)

Great for small to medium sized apples but not so great for the big ones. I will continue to use it since I have it, but will just take a knife to cut out the remaining core after slicing it in quarters.

This is the only corer that I was worried about (I bought three different styles because of the differences in my family), but this little guy is great. It doesn't feel bulky and it does look kind of lightweight but it isn't. This little guy goes right through the skin and does a good fast job of going through the apple. On large, irregular apples it may need a second pass but it is not a problem for this corer. This could only be better if it made a larger hole but I wouldn't want to give up its narrow tip to make a larger core.The narrow tip is what makes this corer nice, because you can go back in the core to get those stray seeds that get missed and not make a bigger hole.

This is the best apple corer ever. I use it every day. On larger apples it can leave a small amount of the core behind, but not a big deal.
