I can peel, core and slice a 5 lb bag of apples in about 15 mins. add 2 minutes to dice the slices.
All with one little paring knife.
We are not into gadgets. No room for the clutter and a lot of clean-up.
PS Plastic cutting sheets are a must when prepping.
I hate gadgets I don't even have a microwave. I always find a knife is so much easier to wash up than a complicated chopper.
This is a typical apple corer:
Just push down and it makes wedges, you throw away the core. Then you still need a knife to dice the remaining wedges.
Without this device, just use a knife for the entire process.
How do you crush your nuts?
easy Glander, I almost jumped out of my skin on that one
" How do you crush your nuts?"
Nutcracker or hammer of course.

Don`t Crush the Nuts!..

... OUTLAW
I crush walnuts, pecans, in a coffee mill. Personally, I can't get enough power to use an apple corer. Clean up is an important consideration. It is much safer to handle a simple paring knife than a food processor blade.
A lot of fancy kitchen gadgets are simply scaled down versions of commercial kitchen appliances. Home kitchens seldom need the volume and maintenance of automated food prepping equipment. I consider home cooking to be one of the few natural artisan pleasures of life.
We have a good Oster blender - used mostly for cream soups, milkshakes and special adult beverage occasions. We have an electric coffee grinder.
We have a manual can opener
A selection of good knives, potato peelers, whisks, etc. Pots and pans, steamers, etc.
I used to always have a good butcher block cutting board but I find the plastic cutting sheets handier.
We love to cook. Especially in the winter.
