I've personally never tried it on a green plantain, however, I have tried it on an orange, green bell pepper, an unripe banana and of course the typical fruits and veggies you'd peel with a peeler. This is the real deal. I love it!

Yes, but if your greens are in a bunch, I would break or cut them in half first. This will make for less wear and tear on the juicer's motor.

I watch someone use the peeler so bought one and found it works great. Be sure your prongs are in the center of the apple and the prongs are lined up with the circle at the end. If the apple is odd shaped, then put the stem end of apple 1st. I always have to use my hand held peeler to get the finishing touches of peel off after apple is cored and sliced.

I have not tried, but I wouldn't think so. I think what you peel needs to be hard in order for it to work.

I use it for citrus all the time. It's perfect. I don't peel them at all. But that depends on whether you like the somewhat bitter flavor of the oils in the skins which I really love. You can also grate them totally or partially. I use 2 whole oranges or 1 grapefruit, 1 cucumber, 1 carrot, 2 or 3 apples and a chunk of ginger root almost everyday. It's perfect.

I have had no luck doing that. Other than thick and thin slicing, this tool mangles fruits and vegetables with the other blade options. It is a huge disappointment.

You can: Peel separately - and I use it all the time for potatoes. It's not just for apples - big dinner, big parties - ten pounds of potatoes peeled QUICK! You could slice and core without peeling - but you couldn't just slice or just core - that's one mechanism. Or you can do all three. It really is the best priced gadget I have in my kitchen - bought one for my mum. Grand mum and mum-in-law. They all love it.

I think it would work wonderfully. I have used mine on watermelon instead of using a knife to remove the rind. I am going to process a pumpkin today and can it in pint jars. I plan on using the peeler to remove the pumpkin rind. Love this peeler.

Yes. One side is a traditional peeling blade. The other side makes julienne. Both work perfectly.

If you remove the slicer you also remove the corer. It will only be peeled.

It depends on how you want to drink your juice. I don't like to leave the peel on my fruits. This is how it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aeir-edU2dM

No, it core and slice at the same time. You can peel without slicing or coring

Eggplant may be a little too large for this. I have peeled large apples, potatoes, and yams with no problem.

No, it does not peel the pineapple. It will give you a round piece from the center, of just the best part of the pineapple. One caution.... You have to make sure you are going straight down the core of the pineapple. Otherwise you get the hard center core as part of your cut out piece. It's a little harder to actually do than what it seems. Might take practice.

I didn't use the apple peeler at all, sent it back. I've got a marvelous grater and grate orange and lemon peel like nothing. It's easy as pie. It's made like a small box and the top is a grater and the peel just goes inside...voila, zest!

Very doubtful. As mentioned, it works best with thin peels. If you did manage to get it started, it would probably take multiple trips with the blade, and you'd likely wind up with a dripping mess!
