My apple corer / segmenter life saver!

amirose · 02-04-2009, 10:54 AM

All my mindees love apples and like most kids they like them cut up. This is all when and good and I want to encourage them to eat apples but when you standing in the kitchen cutting up apples for 5 kids its NOT funny!

Anyway my little sister was telling me about "this circle thing that take the core out and cuts the apple into slices" that they had used at drama club. It sounded like a life saver so I went on a mission and I found it!!!

Here the link http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=230331698650
It arrived this morning and it works perfectly!

I got my apple thingy from Pampered Chef - a bit more than £2

**PixiePetal** · 02-04-2009, 09:06 PM

My 4 year old mindee arrived with a plaster on his thumb today...........a victim of Pampered Chef apple slicer thingy!

I have an apple corer which just takes out the core then I slice it into rings. Kids love them like that.

got it from Lakeland

Yes but you'd get a lovely long walk too

Better to get a guinea pig than an apple corer.

I cut the apples x 4 and give the little piggies what is left.

My favourite guinea out of my 5 is Mr. Magoogoo - cranky old piggy but the cutest one.
