FAQs
Can I put the Nest Press in the dishwasher?
Hand washing is recommended to preserve the sharpness of the stainless-steel blades and the integrity of the plastic components. Dishwasher detergents and the high heat can potentially dull the blades over time.
What types of fruit is this corer and chipper best suited for?
It is primarily designed for apples. It works well for other similarly sized and textured soft fruits.
How do I store the two parts together?
The two parts are designed to nest together. After washing and drying, simply align the corer and chipper and press them together until they click or fit snugly, minimizing storage space.
Is it difficult to switch between coring and chipping?
No, the design allows for quick switching with a simple unclip mechanism. There are no extra parts to lose or attach.
Will this work for vegetables?
The Nest Press is optimized for fruits like apples and is not recommended for use with hard vegetables or root vegetables, as this could damage the blades.
How sharp are the blades?
The blades are made of sharp stainless steel, designed for efficient and clean coring and chipping of fruits. Always handle with care.
Troubleshooting
Tool feels stiff when switching functions
Ensure there is no fruit residue caught between the nesting parts. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. If stiffness persists, a very small amount of food-grade lubricant on the connection points might help, but ensure it's wiped off thoroughly before use.
Blades are not cutting cleanly
Check the blades for any damage or dullness. Ensure you are using the correct orientation for coring or chipping. For apples, make sure the fruit is centered. If blades appear dull, they may need to be replaced if possible, or the tool might need servicing.
Corer or chipper is difficult to press through fruit
This usually indicates the fruit is too hard for the tool's intended use, or the fruit is too large. Try with softer, smaller fruits like standard apples. Ensure you are applying firm, steady pressure downwards.
