[nazar]

how do you use it for pizza and pastry

[fundj&e]

sometimes a pizza can puff up while baking this will help with that , same for the pastry instead of using a fork

[nazar]

[fundj&e]

jeninwa, can its peel potatoes 

If you remove the cutting blade at the front (the one that slices and cores), you can peel most of the potato, I just had to give it a try to find out. I have peeled pears ok with it. Next to try is an orange.

thanks jeninwa

I've got a rotary pastry docker.  Good for pie dough, flatbreads, etc., where you don't want bubble blowouts.  I use it to "tame" puff pastry to keep the puffing even.

Here's mine




It's one of my gadgets that some people think should be in a torture chamber - along with the marmalade cutter!

I bought one of these during the week, have been buying large boxes of fruit for $10.00, borrowed my friends dehydrator, (thinking of buying one)  

This is an essential tool for making apple pies or crumbles.  It is so much quicker!!

Here is a photo, didn't have a orange so used a lemon.

You can use your apple peeler to peel potatoes girls.  Just make sure the cutting disk is not in place and it will just peel it as per this photo - I missed the first bit of the potato but it did the other end OK. It peels them a darn sight thinner than I do with a knife    Here's a picture too of thicker peels that Maddy sprayed and cooked in the oven - the main reason I bought my apple peeler.

[fundj&e]

so can you adjust the thinkness of the peel jd

[judydawn]

Yes, loosen the wing nut on top of the peeler bit and the cutter will move in or out.
