Apple corer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Apple corer made of plastic

An apple corer , also known as an apple cutter , apple cutter or core casing remover , is a small kitchen tool (approx. 15 cm long) with a round handle and a cylinder-like tool part (" blade ") that has a circular, jagged and sharp-edged end and a laterally open, has a channel-shaped blade part. It is available in various shapes and materials in stores. The actual tool part is made of stainless steel or, today, partly also of hard plastic , while the handle used to be mostly made of wood and is now mostly made of plastic.

The prongs make it possible to drill into the apple and remove the core or the kernels without major damage to the apple. The channel is used to accommodate the drilled out components of the apple, which can then be removed from the side.
