Junk In My Trunk: Apple Wedger

Junk In My Trunk is a series about the tools that I own & why I can't live without them...this week is all about items made for a specific purpose but work amazingly well! Today, is something you may already have at home...the apple wedger.

I have gone through a few of these because I use it so often. Think outside it box...you can also use it for pears and other semi-hard fruits. It also works great for chunks of onion (like for kabobs) and for potato wedges for fries. I have tried it on a tomato and an orange without much luck (may work with a newer wedger though, mine is getting dull again).

But the thing that I love cutting with it most is (drum roll please...) sliced pineapple!! That is right - fresh or from a can, the cylinder or pineapple slices fits perfectly and easily becomes pineapple chunks with your apple wedger!
