How many pounds do you peel at a time?

I just use one of those hand-thingies, Y-shaped, with a blade across
one end. It works great; is very fast and can be thrown in the
dishwasher or just rinsed off in very hot water.

OTOH, you can also use this gadgety potato peeler as an apple peeler
AND a salad spinner. (I doubt it takes care of the peel close to the
top and bottom ends of the apple, though.) LOL.
