MarketBasket: Timeless peeler
Charmingly low-tech but surprisingly efficient, this old-school gadget from Norpro is still the fastest way to peel, core and slice a bushel of apples. Just stick the suction-cup base to the counter, fix an apple onto the prongs and turn the hand crank: a peeled apple slinky emerges within seconds on the other end, ready to spring into your pies or sauce.
