Spooky Thursday #452

No food mill here. Darn! One of these days I'm going to pick up one of those contraptions that you stick the apple on and turn the handle, and a blade peels the apple as it turns. I wonder if they work all that good - but I suppose it would suffice for as much as I would use it - and no big loss at about $10 if it doesn't.

However, I don't think I'd care to do 100 lbs that way........

They are okay, we have one, it doesn't seem to save much time, frankly, as apples are not perfect spheres or anything, but it is interesting to try ...

Thanks Karen. I'll have to give it a try, since these arthritic hands just can't peel anymore. Even if I had to "spot peel" some areas, it would be worth it to have the peeler doing the big majority of it.

Oh, yes, I forgot your hands were a problem! And if gripping the handle is hard, you can always pad it to make it easier to grasp. It theoretically works with potatoes, too, though they of course vary in shape even more than apples! I bet it might even work with other fruits or veggies, if they were small enough.
