Apple Peeler Awareness Kitchen Tools Recommendation
"Some people eat to live; I live to eat." -Tim Vidra
An avid home cook, I believe in using simple ingredients, local when possible and am inspired by the principles of supporting a sustainable food system. I’ve cultivated this blog as a way to share my passion for the preparation and enjoyment of food in a way that everyone from beginners to long time foodies can get involved in.
I have an apple peeler (not cool looking vintage like yours--it came from Bed Bath & Beyond!) and it is perfect for making apple tart. Also works on potatos!
ReplyDeleteI am going to have to try a potato. Do not see why that would not work! Thanks for thought and idea!
ReplyDeleteMy great grandfather, William Morris Griscom, owned the Reading Hardware Company and held the patent for this peeler! Little piece of history, here!
ReplyDeleteWow, Lydia things like that are what makes this blog worth doing. I always think of this piece as quite the mechanical wonder! Thanks so much for stopping by.

I was just going through the barn my grandparents owned while they were living, and found that exact apple peeler. I remember using that as a child back in the 80's!

I have one--and is it ever rusty--do I leave it alone and display it or should I have it refurbished???
ReplyDeleteI have one that has no patent info on the top! Just wonder if it is an original first made peeler
ReplyDeleteI donated an apple peeler made by Reading Hardware Co. to the Historical Society in the area where my grandparents lived. Can anyone tell me the value of such a peeler in very good condition?
