Can you peel an apple or potatoe without it being sliced also?

No I don't believe so. I have not seen how that could be done with the way it works.

Yes. The slicer/corer can be removed by loosening and removing the wingnut that's holding it in place.

I just checked mine, and on mine the blade that slices is adjustable. It can be moved out of the way, so that you only peel and core. You will always core, the coring is part of the frame. So if you did a potato, it would core it. We make sliced apples (similar to Famous Dave's Apples) all the time using this, and it works awesome. Can core, peel, and slice a full apple in about 10 to 15 seconds.

You sure can! That is one fantastic aspect of the thing. Granted, you need to rinse the peel out, but it makes things a lot easier.

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.

It has a small (semi-sheathed) blade that peels apples because they are of a uniform shape. I wouldn't even attempt tp peel potatoes in it. They are grittier (dirtier) of various shapes, sizes, and the flesh isn't the same texture as apples. So, no.

You can peel potatoes if they are pretty uniform in shape and not too big. The things that have not worked on this handy little machine are pears that were too soft and very, very large apples. The corer/slicer piece does come off, so I guess you could just run them through without that. Should work!

No, but you can make very thin slices, stack them, and then juilienne them with a knife.

The slices are quite thin...I have sliced apples to add to salads...it worked well for this. I really like this product as it replaces using a mandolin.

No. This won't peel an apple. I don't think it would core an apple either, because the size of the hole in the middle is not big enough to go beyond the apple seeds.

the only vegetable i have ever used was potatoes, i have loosened the spiral blade and used the peeler part only to make hash brown potatoes. my brother in-law peels and slices potatoes and fries the core part along with the slices when i do pears, the firm ones work best as the more ripe tend to not hold onto the prongs, so i guess that you cant slice and peel ripe tomatoes

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.

Yes, you can adjust the slicer so that it isn't in the way or slice your apples or potatoes.

Have not peeled any squash with it but it does a fine job on red potatoes and russet potatoes and if you are not careful when you wash it it will slice the heck out of your finger ,It comes with a blade protector try to hang on to it and replace it back on the blade when you are finished . best peeler I have ever owned .

No, the capacity of the food shoot will not sustain a potato. You will have to pre-cut them.

I would think so. If you loosen the wing nut and swing away the coring circle it should peel a potato. I haven't tried this but looks like it would work.

Just wash the apples and quarter them.No need to remove peel.I would say let them steam about 2 hours.

I haven't tried potatoes yet, but don't know why it won't work. This does good peeling, am not real happy with the way it slices...you might have better luck. You can peel and not slice.

Yes, as a matter of fact, this was the main reason for me to purchase this item. If you get the 3 lb bags of apples - they are small - like a tennis ball - they slice perfectly. Start it off without the gripper so you get a flat side of the apple, then put the gripper on and slice fast! They do slice thin, probably about the thickness of a greeting card. I pop them in the oven at about 190 degrees for about 45 minutes and they turn just a tad tan and get crisp. I don't season them at all though you can sprinkle some cinnamon if you want that flavor. They turn out great and you can eat a whole gallon ziploc bag of them without any guilt!
