this started out as a stainless mixing bowl from a local dept. store. I cut the bottom out to fight the locking ring of the grinder.

Very interesting. This device save many money. Pardon, I don't speak English: ¿what is "killer apple"? I don't find in my translator.

Thanks, but I prefer the explanation of PMbytowneboy. He says: He means efficient apple grinder.

Thanks very much. I believed that that was a class of apples...

sweet idea!

Question on the "ground fruit"... the end product, does it resemble applesause? chunky or smooth?

I have myself access to 4 apple trees, and they produce WAY more apples than I'd ever legally be allowed to turn into hard cider.... so I'm thinking of jarring homemade applesause.

Also, I'd reccomend food grade piping, just to be safe. this link is to the first page on my google search. Food grade clear pvc

Very innovative! Did you cut the pears open and remove the seeds, stems, and skins before making pear butter out of pears?

How'd you drill the bowl & large pipe?
