Back To Basics Apple And Potato Peeler first use 

Hey it’s 2024 and I am just watching this. I bought the same peeler from Amazon and did not know exactly how to use it even after reading instructions. Your video showed me how. TY

I got my little Back-to-Basics at the local goodwill store. I am amazed! What a great invention! Your little beginners video helped me to get started. Thanks. 👍

When you finish peeling to the core, wind it the opposite direction and in will take the core right off for you. Also peel faster and it works much better getting all the peeling off. Good luck.

All these negative comments, just be thankful he even took the time to do a review, what’s wrong with people, always complaining

A pan of homemade apple bars takes 13 apples roughly. This apparatus makes it an absolute breeze! I like it for peeling potatoes too. I’ve found I have to cut the potatoes in half before peeling. Remove the coring blade at the end of the peeler and just leave the blade for removing the peel. Mashed potatoes are much easier now.

During the pandemic, I am watching apples being peeled. 2020!

yeah the thing works great. It takes some time to perfect it. The key is getting the blade adjusted to the right depth. Also, if you spin it faster it seems to work better.

You are supposed to put the stem side on the corer. It works much better if you put the stem side on first.

I picked up one of these the other day, very handy kitchen tool. It does a great job peeling the spuds!

Exactly what I said after watching a video of someone using one... I just did a batch of canning apples in 1/3 the time that the last batch took... I keep asking myself why I did not get one sooner...

Thanks for this. I was cursing this contraption the whole morning as the horizontal rod would not budge when I pulled it to the right along with lifting the silver hook part (as you did in the video). It was only when I actually rotated the black handle away from myself that it came loose. Thanks again :)

Good video thanks. Just got one of these and just wanted to see it in use for a better idea of how it worked.

I believe if you do not want so much apple to come off, then you have to adjust the bottom screw. The bottom screw is placing the tension tighter or softer on the peel cutter arm part.

Got mine yesterday at a church yard sale for $4.00. It works just fine. Save your cores and peelings to make Apple Scrap Jelly. Great video. Thanks!

I love the sound of the dog licking up water from the bowl.

Thank you, this really helped with choosing an apple peeler for myself.

Thanks for the demo! I just bought one and haven’t used it yet, wasn’t sure how to!

I too have a Pups who sounds like a little tap dancer when he hits the hardwood floor :) Your video was informative and direct. I found a brand new one in the box w/instructions ($4 - garage sale) but, watching your video really helped! Thank you for taking the time & Thank you for sharing~ BTW - someone below said putting stem end in first works better ;)

I was trying to make an apple pie for some friends of ours. I've made many in the past but my apple peeler was stolen (along with everything else) so I just purchased another one. I couldn't figure out how to adjust the peeler. I fooled around with the blade but it was cutting into my apple so much I would have had nothing left. Could you snap a picture of how you set your blade... I would really appreciate it.

On my way to purchase one myself. Thanks for the share.

I have small odd shaped apples, the first couple, did the spirals, and removed core, I adjusted the blade, now it makes spiral design but doesn’t cut through nor remove core, blade needs open more, or less?

You might want to wash the thing first before you use it. Just saying...

was going to get rid of my apple peeler because I didn't know how to use it til I came on here, thanks for the video

Why don't you read the directions? Exactly why Moses was lost in the desert for 40 years... Bed, Bath, & Beyond has these for 20% off, so they are only $16 and you can get free shipping. My chef school recommends them.

You are supposed to push the stem side into the prongs

Also turn the apple around, stem side to the right.

Thank you for the demo ... wow, love it

is this also spiral slicing the apples? not clear from the video

Good review! Thank you very much.

For this to core well the apple must be pretty much symmetrical. And it doesn't work well if the apple is not very crisp. The prongs will not hold the apple if it is not reasonably hard apple

I think you were putting the apple on backwards. The instructions with mine said to insert the apple with the stem on the backside rather than facing outward.

Thank you. I just got one at a resale shop. Score for $2

Now take the cuttings an the core add them to a glass jar add 2 tbs of raw vinegar with the mother fill with water an walla.In a couple of was you have homemade vinegar

hola disculpa quisiera saber cuanto cuesta y donde la puedo conseguir gracias

what an awesome video very nice i like it thanks matt

Thanks! This was very helpful!

any way to make veggie noodles with this? if not, needs vegetable spiralizer attachment!

Also the wing nut is hard to tighten if you have arthritis in your fingers.

Thx works great, I just got mine !

Why do they put a Big Cutting U shaped blade on these anymore; instead of a flat blade like a knife? Mother used a White Mountain Apple Peeler/Corer & Slicer for 45 years that did NOT take off over 1/2" of each apple as waste.

Great video. Directions didn’t even tell me how to use suction on bottom. Lol. Just read about rewinding when done and core will fall off. 😂

Good product

Got one for Christmas. Wanted it to peel kiwi. The kiwi core is too shallow and comes off when you get bout 1/3rd of the way on. I'd like to modify it to work with the kiwi. Maybe decrease the pressure on the cutting blade (skinning blade). Don't need it for apples. I eat about 95% or higher of the apple anyways.

I got one of these, is there a way to peel stuff so its NOT spiral? (if you wanted a whole peeled apple/potato)

Just got one from ebay but haven't used yet. Is there a secret to the suction base? Does it work on table or just a counter?

Looks like fun.

I kept hoping he was going to clean the device with a little soapy water before using it......but it's an awesome little device. Gotta get me one. Thanks for sharing.

Great demo. You were a pro at the second apple. :)

Just ordered one this week. It arrives on Saturday and there's a bunch of apples just begging to be processed!

The patent must have expired because I have one made by RSVP international. It works great. Peels, slices and cores.

Take the handle off and hook up a drill. Even faster.

how do you keep the pears and apples from turning brown before you start the pear perserves

Man I need one of them bad

When putting on an apple, I've been using my free hand on the crank side to control the speed at which the apple goes onto the spikes. It only takes one bad or even just small apple driven on with a bit of force to end up with a life-changing injury from that three-pronged sumumabitch!

OK to all the people who have demonstrated the Apple peeler I just wanna thank you very much because I just got one and a couple other apparatuses to wear as I can just to push down core and slice of the same time as well as peel a little bit as I need but I just want to tell everybody staff spending so much on him wish.com I got mine for a song A-war that less always be and 20 bucks lol lol I got it dirt cheap and I got the exact same kind air about easy isn't perfect and thank you for the demonstration cars tomorrow I'm buying apples and pears and anything else I can squeal on their Thanks

Thank you

Nice! And it cores the apple too. I take it it's the one from China by the looks of it, they have a similar more expensive Victorio model but I bet they both do the same job

Good Job

Good job !! Thank you 😊😍👏🏼

use the peels and cores to make applesauce

heck of a lot more fun the peeling them the old way :)

hmm would be a lot faster just to peel it with a nice swiss peeler

Dog lapping 1:02

Thanks.

Turn apple around stalk towards handle move blade further in and turn faster no problem this end Mind you I look at instructions on on line simples

$10 at Big Lots! Best invention ever!

Can this peel without slicing?

and the potatoes ?

Цена и покупка от къде?

He should've also did potatoes.

you shouldn't be taking the skin off. that's where most of the fiber and nutrients are

You better show us the machete near to see instead of peeling thousand and one apples

Did anyone else notice that every so often when the green sleeved arm moved out of shot there was a view of an apple peeler by the sink?

You're puttin yer apples on backward sonny boy. These are ten bucks on ebay.

Stem side in first

Good Lord, Mr. Ford! Shove that throttle FORWARD, son...like ya gotta' pair. You a Lib? Sigh.......

ok

well if you look at the apples they are all misshapen, not at all round so of course it won't work right.

You should have been faster Doing so slowly might not have the same result as doing it quickly

ну и нахера эта лапша нарезанная из яблока?

Are you jewish?

Please don’t swear

Nobody wants to sit and watch you peel apples all day dude show people how to use the damn machine

Horrible gimmick and waste of money
