I borrowed an apple peeler and now I forgot how to use it. (Dumb) I can't call the person I borrowed it from as they are on vacation. I want to demo a potato with it at my show tomorrow.

Thanks

Figured it out. Guess I just had to step away.
 
Sometimes that's all it takes!:cool:
 
And don't forget you can look up the use and care cards on CC.
 
for reaching out! I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with the apple peeler. Don't worry, it's completely normal to forget how to use a tool if you haven't used it in a while. Luckily, I have some tips that can help refresh your memory.First, make sure the peeler is securely attached to a clean, dry surface. Then, place the apple on the prongs and turn the handle to start peeling. If you're still having trouble, try adjusting the blade by loosening or tightening the screws on the side.If you're planning on demoing a potato tomorrow, I recommend practicing with the peeler beforehand to get a feel for it. That way, you'll feel confident and comfortable using it during your show.If all else fails, you can always reach out to our customer support team for further assistance. They are available to help you troubleshoot any issues you may be having. And don't worry, we've all had our "dumb" moments with kitchen tools. Just remember to take a deep breath and have fun with your demo tomorrow! Best of luck!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the first step to using the Pampered Chef Apple Peeler/Corer?

The first step is to securely attach the apple peeler/corer to a clean, flat surface. Make sure the suction base is firmly pressed down to avoid any movement while you are using it.

How do I prepare the apple for peeling and coring?

Before using the peeler/corer, wash the apple thoroughly. If the apple has a stem, you can leave it on, but it’s best to cut off any bruised or damaged parts to ensure smooth operation.

Can I adjust the thickness of the peel when using the apple peeler/corer?

What should I do if the apple is not staying in place?

If the apple is not staying in place, make sure the prongs are securely inserted into the apple and that the suction base is firmly attached to the surface. You may need to reposition the apple or reattach the peeler to ensure stability.

How do I clean the apple peeler/corer after use?

After using the apple peeler/corer, detach it from the surface and remove any apple scraps. You can wash the blades and other parts with warm, soapy water. Avoid submerging the entire unit in water to protect the suction base.
