I recently needed to cut a mountain of apples for a party. I knew that not all apple dividers were created equal and I wanted to have the best one. So I went out and bought three different ones to test before the big day. I wasn't crazy about the OXO's looks (I preferred the sleek stainless steel model I found for triple the price at Williams Sonoma), but in terms of utility--and honestly what other criterion should an apple divider be rated on?--the OXO divider was hands down the best. It slices the apple into 8 slices rather than 12. The fact that it cuts fewer slices makes the divider easier to use. Also the center hole for the core was just slightly larger than on the other two models I tried and that made it so that I needed to do fewer touchups with the knife on the OXO sliced apples. Also, the greater ease of cutting made it easier to cut straight slices, rather than wavy, uneven ones. The rubber handles are good because if you must cut a lot of apples rather than just one, the slipperiness of the juice can become an issue.

Shopping for $1 million of culinary equipment

Imagine there was a new building in which culinary arts classes were to be taught, and it was your job to choose the cooking equipment and gadgets needed to fill the drawers and racks of the teaching kitchens.

That was the job assigned to chef Denise Perry when Lincoln Land Community College in Springfield, Ill., had a new Workforce Careers Center built. Inside is a restaurant, line kitchen, food production lab and pastry kitchen, and they all needed to be stocked.

“It was like registering for my wedding,” said Perry, 32, the school’s lead culinary instructor. She had experience stocking working kitchens when she was employed in the culinary program at Robert Morris College in the Chicago area.

Before Lincoln Land’s winter break in 2010, Perry was approached about selecting the 3,000 items the school’s new culinary center would need. She got her hands on a pile of food-related catalogs –– including US Foods, JB Prince, Sur La Table and Chef Rubber –– and started thumbing through the pages.
