Why both
A slicer is the fast answer to a lunchbox: apple in, push, eight wedges and the core left behind. But it is useless when you want the fruit whole — a baked apple, an apple ring, a pepper to stuff. That is the corer: it pushes through the middle and lifts the core out, and the shape stays.
One push, not sawing
The blades are sharp enough that a push does it. On a slicer that matters more than it sounds: the ones that need force are the ones that tip, slip or come down crooked, and the slices end up uneven.
Not only apples
The corer handles pear, tomato, courgette, pepper and jalapeño — anything with a middle you want out and an outside you want kept. The slicer works on anything roughly apple-shaped and firm.
Handles you can hold with wet hands
Wide and non-slip, because this is fruit and your hands are wet. A slicer needs even pressure on both sides; a handle that slips gives you a wedge twice the width of its neighbour.
Not the right tool if…
Your apples are very large — a slicer has a fixed diameter, and our LUX slicer takes fruit up to 105 mm where most stop at 90. Check the size you buy before choosing.
