Did You Know You Can Use a Food Chopper for Chopped Apples with the Peels On?

In summary, Gil was helping her director make apple crisp and she was given the batter bowl with graham crackers and a food chopper. She was told to just put the chopper in the batter bowl and chop away. It worked like a charm!

You guys probley already know this but I figured this out yesterday afternoon while preping some food for desert last night. I jsut bought the apple wedger a couple of weeks ago, and I was making a receipie that called for "chopped apples" so I thought I wonder if the food chopper would work wiht the apple peels still being on the apple yes it does work and saves a lot of time and engergy..... so you can cross sell the apple wedger and the food chopper!!! thought I would share!!!
 
You mean you wedge the apples and then chop them with the food chopper? I read it a few times and still don't understand!
 
What a great idea Leah! Never thought of that but yes it would work to use the wedger and then the food chopper to get the smaller pieces. Thanks for sharing!

Yes, that does work well.... but PC doesn't guarantee it to be used that way. The glass bowl can dull the blades. I do this at home, but not at shows because I don't want to show them something that PC doesn't recommend....

1. Make sure the food is cut into smaller pieces before placing it in the chopper. This will make the chopping process easier and more efficient.2. Avoid overfilling the chopper with food to prevent uneven chopping.3. Use a rocking motion when pressing down on the handle to evenly chop the food.4. For foods with tough skins, such as tomatoes, score the skin with a knife before using the chopper.5. Clean the chopper thoroughly after each use to maintain its sharpness and prolong its lifespan.
