APPLE CORER
An
apple corer is a device for removing the core and pips from an apple. It may
also be used for a pear, quince, or similar fruits.
Some
apple corers consist of a handle with a circular cutting device at the end.
When pushed through the apple, it removes the core, to the diameter of the
circular cutting device. The core can then be removed from the apple corer.
Another
type of apple corer can be placed on top of the apple and pushed through. This
both cores and slices the apple. This is also often called apple cutter.
An
apple corer is often used when many apples need to be cored, from making an
apple pie to brewing cider.
In
the United Kingdom, several brands have also released their own brand of Apple
Corers, for example, Marks & Spencers Apple Corer, CoreStuff the Apple
Corer and John Lewis Apple Corer
BOTTLE OPENER
A
bottle opener is a device that enables the removal of metal bottle caps from
bottles. More generally, it might be thought to include corkscrews used to
remove cork or plastic stoppers from wine bottles.
A
metal bottle cap is affixed to the rim of the neck of a bottle by being pleated
or ruffled around the rim. A bottle opener is a specialized lever inserted
beneath the pleated metalwork, which uses a point on the bottle cap as a
fulcrum on which to pivot.
A
colander (or cullender) is a bowl-shaped kitchen utensil with holes in it used
for draining food such as pasta or rice. A colander is also used to rinse
vegetables. The perforated nature of the colander allows liquid to drain
through while retaining the solids inside. It is sometimes also called a pasta
strainer or kitchen sieve.
Conventionally,
colanders are made of a light metal, such as aluminium or thinly rolled
stainless steel. Colanders are also made of plastic, silicone, ceramic, and
enamelware.
The
word colander comes from the Latin colum meaning sieve.
