Wow! Where I used to work, the man peeling the apple would have had to prepare a safe work plan and have it approved, have safety glass, steel mesh work gloves and steel-toed boots to perform that task. He also have had to tape off a large area around where he was working, to prevent injury to other workers.

That’s four seconds too many. Somebody who’s really good should be able to toss an apple in the air, pull a switchblade knife out of his pocket, open it, peel, halve, and core the apple, and have the knife back in his pocket as he catches the two halves of the apple with his other hand.

Switchblades? Pansy blade! Real men do it with a sword!

I couldn't help myself. . . and. . . well it is an Apple Ping. . . Sort of. —PING!

Apple Really, truly Ping!

If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.

Five seconds to peel the apple. An hour and a half to clean the sticky stuff off the drill and kill all the ants in the case.

I love this idea for cutting cherry tomatoes.
**************************
No offense intended..., but why would anyone want to cut those little cherry tomatoes? They are perfect as is and the ‘spurt’ of juice when you bite into one is great.

dunno, apple could get off center and fly off the spade bit.

Some recipes call for the cut ones. For example, a salad recipe I saw on a macaroni box that calls for sauteeing them in olive oil.

The hold them between two plates trick works okay as long as they are very nearly the same size. Otherwise might as well cut (or quarter) them manually. A new, clean single edge razor blade would work nicely for that with little or no juicing.

This man wants his 5 seconds back.

I really find my battery powered drill driver to be the one of the best tools around. I use it a lot might have to try this just for fun

[machogirl]

I guess if you put them on a pizza and if you don’t have enough teeth to bite down?

Damn...you beat me to it.

Oh,it can core a apple....

Reminds me of the old joke about the emperor of Japan interviewing for a new chief Samurai....3 applicants - a Japanese, Chinese, and Jewish.

The Japanese opens a box and a bee flies out - swoosh - the bee's cut in half......Emperor is impressed.

The Chinaman opens a box and a fly exits - swoosh, swoosh - the fly is quartered......Emperor is very impressed.

The Jew opens a box and a gnat circles about - swoosh, and the gnat keeps flying.......Emperor, unimpressed, begins to chastise until the Jew tells him, "Circumcision is not meant to kill".
