SALT LAKE CITY — Need more time in your day? Is dinner preparation getting you down? Do you spend too much time in the kitchen peeling apples? If you answered yes (and if you have very precise hands), then this is the life hack for you.
Employees at a restaurant were tired of peeling apples over and over and came up with a creative way to get the job done extremely fast. Kids, don't try this at home.
The idea is similar to the As Seen on TV! Rotato that was popular in the late '90s: hold an apple (or potato) in place and spin it while using a peeler. This guy uses a drill and a regular peeler to peel apples in three seconds or less. As a former Rotato and current regular-peeler user, I am super-impressed. Although this method is faster and more effective, the risk of injury seems to be a lot higher.
Not sure what to do with your 10-gallon bucket of peeled apples? Here are some recipes and ideas to get you ready for fall:
