Johnny Apple Peeler, Heavy Duty Cast Iron Peeler with Stainless Steel Corer Slicer and Peeler Blades and a Strong Clamp Base, Apple Pie or Apple Crisp Maker

The suction cup does not move until you release it! The peel is perfection-thin enough to remove the peel, but does not sacrifice the flesh of the apple. The spiral slicer and corer is efficient and makes preparing apples for my granddaughter fun and simple! In fact, I am FaceTimed often to peel an apple for her viewing pleasure! She loves the peeled apples you can purchase and this does the trick, quickly, easily and safely!I used home grown apples that were small, bumpy and ugly! Johnny Apple’s removal of the skin made these ugly ducklings into beautiful swans!User error resulted in a misaligned core and I accidentally bumped corer once which stopped my process until I figured it out!I peeled, cored and sliced enough small (plum sized) apples in 30 minutes which made almost a gallon of apple butter. (It was a lot of apples!)I plan to try potatoes next. I have an electric peeler which had very little success with anything.I did not buy the unbranded intentionally because of the big job ahead of me. I’m glad I spent more money on the real thing.The Johnny Apple Peeler is a sturdy, easy to use kitchen tool that I did not realize how much I needed!I plan to buy another one as a gift for a very special granddaughter and her family!

This is the first year my little orchard has produced large quantities of apples, so I hauled out a vintage mechanical peeler that had been sitting in the attic for 25 years. I spent an hour trying to fine tune it and not have it destroy every apple I tried. I thought I was stuck with hand peeling, but decided to check and see if there was anything available that wasn't more trouble than it was worth. After reading the reviews for various peelers here, and watching a bunch of YouTube videos, I decided to give this one a try. It worked perfectly right out of the box, and required only about 30 seconds to screw on the handle and the tines.Here is what I liked best:-Solid construction, nicely machined, and well-finished-Suction base sticks fiercely to my granite counter and doesn't come loose; if you have a smooth, non-porous surface to mount it on, this is so much better than the ones that clamp to the underside of the counter with a screw (and invariably wobble)-Very clearly written instruction book (not some bad translation into English from another language)-Reasonable price (I know there is another one on this site that looks about the same, and costs a few bucks less, but I thought this one had better overall reviews)-Works with a wide variety of apple sizes, even ones that are pretty large; also adapts well to lopsided apples without messing up-The hoop that does the coring does a really good job of keeping the apple centered, despite the shape of the apple. You just need to do your best to align the apple when mounting it on the tines, but the peeler is pretty forgiving even if the apple has a fair amount of wobble-Once it starts cutting it doesn't miss any part of the peel on the bulk of the apple; it leaves only about 1/8" at the top and bottom where the apple is "flat"...and I just eat that-The spiral cut slices are a great thickness for dehydrating, for freezing, and for making piesI was concerned that the loop-shaped blade would "waste" more apple flesh than a straight blade, but the waste is trivial. In fact, in my experience with a straight-bladed model, the gouging on all the apples that weren't perfectly shaped did lead to a lot of waste. For my first batch, I processed about 50-60 apples of 5 different species, which ranged widely in size, symmetry, and firmness. The only one I had trouble with was one that wasn't a firm apple to start with and had been sitting out for a couple of weeks; it was so soft that the tines started to turn freely in the core before the whole apple was finished being peeled. If I would have processed it when it was fresh this wouldn't have been a problem.I set mine up on the edge of the granite counter right next to the sink, and all the waste went right in: no more peels and apple juice making my floor sticky.This is one of those kitchen gadgets that works well consistently, as opposed to those that work well 90% of the time, but are annoying and time consuming the other 10% of the time. In fact, this is actually fun to use and fast...and that's important when you are looking at dealing with bushels of apples.

I got this peeler a couple of years ago to speed things up when I make my apple pies for holidays. Peeling the apples used to be the most tedious part of the job - now it's fast, easy, and fun. Just a few seconds per apple. Really the most time consuming part is making sure you get the apples on the peeler straight. It has a very solid construction being made mostly from solid cast iron.From my experience, there's a bit of setup required each time before you start peeling to make sure things go smoothly. This is primarily just making sure the coring blade is on tight and that it's perfectly centered with the rod pushing the apple through it. It's a bit harder than you might think since the hole is just barely larger and its end is triangular so you actually have to turn the handle and make sure it clears all the way around through the turn. The upside is that the small hole for the core means its cutting close to the core and you end up with less waste per apple. It's worth the extra couple of minutes of setup to make sure you won't be hitting the sides of the corer and possibly bending it. As a side note, be careful to pay attention which way the coring blade goes on - if you're not paying attention it can easily go on backwards. I actually did this once and since this is such a solid unit with a lot of mechanical advantage behind the crank, it will just bend the coring blade. Thankfully with a bit of force I was able to bend it back. It really isn't flimsy, it just shows how hard the crank can push. And also the blade is one of several parts that you can get replacements of for just a couple of dollars, so you can plan of having this peeler for many years and replacing some of the parts that are going to take some wear and tear.If you've never seen how a peeler like this works before, it slices your apples in a spiral - like an apple slinky. So the slices you'll end up with are different from the wedges you would get by hand, but the thickness is good. I found that you can cut each spiral cut apple in half from the top down and you get good sized pieces for a pie. You also want to make sure that you're using decent apples - I believe the manual tells you to make sure they are Grade A (there are USDA standards for shape/size). If you try discounted/misfit apples from the bargain bin you'll likely get some where the core is way off center and this peeler won't be able to reach the entire surface.The only negative I have is that I found it to be not that great for potatoes. It works great for apples because you don't need to peel the top and bottom of the core, since you're just throwing it out. Unfortunately, for potatoes this leaves spots on the ends that are left not peeled, requiring you to peel those spots by hand. I don't think it's a fault with this brand/model, it's just based on the way that this type of peeler works. Maybe the potatoes I was using were particularly deformed, but I also found there were a lot of bumps and indents that the peeler was missing. Honestly I didn't 't think it was worth using for potatoes the one time I tried it, but you don't have to take my word for it.All in all this is a great kitchen tool for when you need to peel large batches of apples. You won't be disappointed.

I started making apple galettes in 2020 and became frustrated with peeling apples by hand. I bought the Johnny Apple Peeler in 2021 and it is Amazing!- It is incredibly well constructed!- It really does peel and core apples at the same time flawlessly!- The suction base is incredibly solid!- Clean up is relatively simple!- Careful - the blades are legitimately sharp and can cut you while cleaning.You can see my picture of my apple galette. It is not pretty, but it is delicious!

me gusto el material y hace fácil el trabajo, lo recomiendo ampliamente

This apple peeler is of excellent quality! I had a cheaper look-a-like-apple peeler before and it was terribly finicky trying to get it to Core properly and get the blade lined up right, it ended up taking me more work than a hand peeler so I was hesitant to buy another one - but our apple trees make lots of apples. This one - perfect every time! If you have never used an apple peeler before there is still a bit of effort required in getting the apple on and off, but the strong suction base makes this much easier. Also the sharpness and acuarcy of the blades makes it SO EASY!!! Definitely worth paying a little extra for the Jonny Apple Peeler.

The peeler needs a smooth surface to sit on and you need to get used to having the apple correctly centred - it but after that it is a Brilliant peeler

Great

middle to small sized apples may regularly crush into pieces, while big apples are peeled and cut nicely as wished ...
