When I used it, what luck!!! The dial, adjustment worked! and not just once! The blades are just as strong with wide cuts as they are with the narrow ones. And the BEST part is that lid! I used to smash my old cutter down, flip it over and push each slice out with my finger (or else they broke off still in the cutter.) It wasn't smart to push my fingers so close to those blades, but I did it anyway.) With this one, I stick the apple right on the lid, aim the tabs (I wish those weren't there, but I guess they have to be) and push. The cutter has two dents that have to fit into matching cutouts in the lid, so sometimes you have to stop at the bottom and turn it a little to get it to depress fully into the lid. But then the fruit is fully cut and easy to remove.
Cleaning is slightly harder than my old one. If you just let it sit on the counter too long after cutting (I admit that I do this :D) the apple guts get stuck. There is a little seam where the rotating blades fit together, and apple bits get stuck there. I just rinse it very well (the running water gets rid of most of it) and if I must, I push my finger (from the TOP) between the blades to clean it. I usually sit it on a papertowel to dry, or actually dry it if I am putting it away. It seems like the blades COULD rust in a dishwasher (I haven't tried...but thin stainless does that sometimes) so I don't put it in there.
Overall, I am more than pleased with it. I wish it was just a touch bigger, as my favorite apples (honeycrisp) don't always fit (they were BIG this year.) If they made a bigger one, I would buy it too!
So, then, along comes this adjustable and voila! My wish was granted. This is awesome. Now all I have left is to peel them.
I really like having the cap to turn over to push them the rest of the way through. My last ones didn't and I ended up cutting my fingers a LOT getting the slices and core out. Besides, it keeps the blades (and me) safer when stored. This is a very nice product, with nice, heavy duty plastic. It looks nice and works nice. Can't ask for much more than that.
Heck, who am I trying to fool? I like kitchen gadgets and slicing apples for lunches gave me an excuse to buy another kitchen toy.
America's Test Kitchen (Cooks Illustrated magazine) rated a Williams-Sonoma slicer as their top pick - that slicer is exactly the same as this one, just re-branded. Overall I'm happy with it, though it's not perfect.
Pros:
- Sharp blades, cuts through apples with ease.
- Easy to switch from 8 to 16 wedges.
- Removes entire core
- Snap-on lid makes it safe to store in a drawer.
Cons:
- When set for 8 slices, blades don't align perfectly so apple can get stuck in between them.
- Locking mechanism can be a little fussy, sometimes it's hard to get the slicer to lock in one position.
At Williams-Sonoma they say to hand wash this slicer but I've been running it through the dishwasher without any ill effect. Other reviewers complained the slicer removed an excessively large core but I haven't found that to be the case. Prior to buying this slicer I was using the OXO Good Grips Corer (coincidentally ATK's top apple corer). I usually had to run the corer through the apple 2 or 3 times to get all the core removed - this slicer gets it all the first time through.
It's a handy little slicer. It's not perfect but it gets the job done. The kids like the thinner wedges I get from the 16 slice setting - most slicers cut 8 or maybe 12 slices. The thin wedges are ideal for apple pie as well.
