Will this peeler work on the butternut squash? It took me a little while to work on it to peel the whole squash, even though I cut in half.

I bought one of these (and another as a gift) precisely because they work well on butternut squash.

I've never tried it on a butternut. I just cut them in half and bake cut supine down the scoop out the flesh.

Not sure if peeler works on butternut squash since I've never tried to peel veges with a hard shell skin.

I would say no. I tried cutting an apple in half and slicing it. The results were not satisfactory. The slices are very thin. The slicer is the least effective of the pieces in this set. I use the graters and the julienne all the time, but almost never use the slicer.

I hope this helps. I cannot tell you about a having never used the other peeler. I can tell you I peeled 100 lbs of potato by myself using this machine last March. Was it perfect no. But close enough for me! It peeled everything I put in it. I canned some froze some and dried the rest.Please let me stress By Myself again. I bought 2 more for my canning sisters. I did use it for apples also but it will peel so much more.buy it you won't be sorry.

Works on beetles because it cuts into soft tissues between segments and they die by dehydration. So should work. However, have you tried other controls like planting nasturtiums and French marigolds around your squash and cucumber plants to repel these pests? Also, I always grow my pickles and cucumbers up fencing--they stay dirt free and NEVER have squash bugs or cucumber beetles attack them. Easier to pick, too! I only get a few cucumber beetle attacks on my zucchinis and winter squash and I usually just pull and destroy leaves with larvae on them before the squash bugs mature. Repellent flowers also discourage vine borers. Hope this helps. Works on beetles because it cuts into soft tissues between segments and they die by dehydration. So should work.

I used it on a yam (sweet potato) and it worked fine. I did use a glove to hold it so I wouldn't cut myself. Cut a piece off a rounded veggie so it "sits" more firmly on your cutting board. The first slice of the peeler was hard but it got progressively easier.

I thought I had a dud at first too. I was just holding it upside down.. it works great on zucchini and sweet potatoes.

I would not think it would as butternut squash is too big to fit and has a very hard rind

I just received this peeler and it has opposing blades on the peeler side (not the julienne side) so I don't see why it wouldn't peel in both directions like the Titan peeler.

Yes it can peel all kinds of fruits and vegetables. It is not as comfortable on apples and fruits as it is with larger or straight vegetables like carrots, butternut squash ect.

Definitely! I've used it to slide butternut squash for fries. It was a little difficult at times, but lemons & limes should be easy peazy!

YAH! Very pleasantly surprised in that arena. This was actually what I purchased it for. Typically I roast squash but had a recipe for chopped, boiled squash and my little peeler was not doing the job.

I agree with previous answer, great peeler.perhaps u can put the peeler on another spot or attach a piece of 1 1/2 in plywood temporally and use it that way. Good Luck

I haven't tried it on Zucchini yet but yes the carrots came out nice and long. I would not cut the top of the carrot until I use it (just to have some way to hold them) unless their tips are better. I haven't read their tips yet, but again despite all that the carrots came out fine.

I just tried it on some baby carrots and it worked. It dices it into small pieces. I have not tried it on other root vegetables.

Hi Barney, thanks for your question. Though our peeler can tackle many projects, a pineapple is probably not a good one to try. The skin on a pineapple is likely far too thick for either of the blades to cut through.

Yes, it does work on softer vegetables, like zucchini. You'll have to cut the vegetable to fit into the space between the fork and the blades. You will get a core which you can chop into smaller pieces or leave as a thick chip. Please note that the peeler won't work on pitted fruit like peaches as the fork will not be able to pierce the pit.

It adjusts to different sizes. I've done both larger and smaller apples only. I don't see why it wouldn't also peel a pear.
