OXO Good Grips Corer

 (71 customer reviews)

I like eating apple wedges with skin on, and so does my husband. However he doesnt like to fiddle with paring knives and I sometimes skip this healthy snack, just from laziness. It sometimes seems a lot of work performing the usual quartering and then cutting out little pieces of core from the quarter, ending with core bits and seeds and juice dripped around. I decided to try a corer, so I initially purchased another brand of corer, last month , but after one use I repackaged it and took it back - the cut diameter was way too small for the size of apples i like (large Red Delicious). Most of the core was still inside the apple! Then I ordered this OXO one from Amazon, due to the good reviews.

I can say yes it really works very well. Actually so well that my husband will now fix himself his own apple snacks with it.

This OXO corer is easy to handle, easy to clean, and it takes out a decent sized core, with almost no missed core left behind. It removes a circle...Read more

I ordered this because it received a recommendation by Cook's Illustrated. They were absolutely right. This is a terrific tool, easy to use, easy to clean, very well designed!

I was a little skeptical about this because the corers I've used in the past usually just mangled the apple. This one gives a nice clean cut and goes in and out relatively easy. The only fault which really isn't the product's fault is that the apple needs to be perfectly straight up and down to get ALL of the core out and can waste a little bit of apple if it's not.
