Kitchen Gadgets

I'm doing something new for the Breakdown Café. Over the years I've been impressed with the quality of items that can be purchased for $1.00. Sometimes items exceed expectations and sometimes you get what you pay for. If you like the series please let me know in the comments, because your support is really motivating. For this first post about $1.00 finds let me share some items that I found recently. These great kitchen gadgets were being sold in a local grocery store for $1.00.

 

I tested the apple corer on a "crooked" apple to see how well it would perform. It worked very well; it got the whole core with one try.  It was easy and safe to use. The corer made it effortless to core the apple. The opening made it easy to remove the core to discard. It's BPA free and

dishwasher safe on the top rack. The apple corer comes in 3 colors red, yellow, green.

This helpful tool gets an A + rating.

The vegetable peeler earned an A+ rating for it's ease of use and comfortable handle. The blade is sharp enough to peel fruits, chocolate, and veggies. It's BPA free and dishwasher safe on the top rack. The peeler comes in 3 colors red, yellow, green.

*Ratings are based on a letter grade scale.

A excellent - good, highly recommended

B good, but has a design flaw, recommend

C recommend conditionally

D would not recommend (Cheap construction, difficult to use, and impractical)

F would not recommend (not good to use under any circumstance regardless of price)
