"Who invented the apple peeler? Well it is on record that Moses Cook from Pennsylvania, invented the apple peeler in eighteen-oh-three on February fourteenth. And it was similar to this idea, the peeler would peel like this, and he was known to be the first person to have a patent on the apple peeler. Later, Eli Whitney also began inventing, and the first thing he invented was another form of an apple peeler. Well, now a days, this is my kind of apple peeler, right here. Simply put the apple on, crank it up, and in about two seconds, you apple is peeled, ready to go all in one long swoop. Isn't that great? You can even continue to peel, if you like which is great for making apple pies, or just snacks for the kids. This also comes with a corer, slicer, which a lot of you might already have. You simply take thee apple, line this up over the core like so and push down. And there you go. Your apple is peeled, cored and sliced, in about ten seconds. I'm Jan Boydstun from Kitchen Kitchen."
