When I was little, I was fascinated with my mother's apple corer. It had a bright orange handle you'd normally see on a screwdriver and a thick ring of blunt teeth. I probably remember it so clearly, as I could never get the blasted thing to work. I could never get enough pressure to cut through the apple, and once someone had helped me it was always a fight to get the core back out of the tool. It looks like Cuisipro have solved all my childhood frustrations with their new Apple Corer. The new ergonomic handle helps you put all your force behind the blade so it slices through the apple easier. Then when you've finally succeeded, a quick flick of the lever opens the blades and releases the core. A brilliant new design for this retro kitchen gadget, the Cuisipro Apple Corer is £7.99 from Lakeland.
