Coring

A fruit corer is most effective for coring apples and pears whole, but a vegetable peeler will do the job almost as well. A melon bailer is the best tool to use for coring halved fruits. Core fruit, unpeeled or peeled, depending on future use.

Push corer into stalk of apple and through to the bottom. Twist to loosen the core, then pull it out in the corer.

Insert point of peeler into the bottom of pear and twist it so that it cuts around the core. Gently pull out the core.
