Know your rights!
I want to give credit where credit is due. One of my Team Leaders (cooking teams) Ernest, from Ghana, showed me how he likes to use an apple corer (is corer a word? guess so, spell check didn’t catch it).
The handled apple corer which only ‘drills’ out the core (but doesn’t slice) has many application so it has been deemed a multi-tasker and thus gets respect among my kitchen tools. But one of those ‘fancy’ handled corers that helps pre-slice the actual fruit? Seemed like a waste of time and space considering my knife skills. And even some of you may feel you can slice pineapple rings faster than using a fancy apple corer…but it still doesn’t take away from the fact it was a pretty ingenious idea!
From slices to tidbits…turn this one into Cooks Illustrated tips and techniques!

What a good idea. We have had that kind of an apple corer for a while,Your dad picked it up one day, (because he likes apples, and he also seems to like gadgets) and I never thought about using it to made tidbits, even though several of my favorite recipes use pineapple tidbits. Using the corer sure beats cutting up each ring with my kitchen scissors!
