There are conflicting answers on this. I am looking for a machine that only peels and cores. I do not want it to slice. Can this machine do that?

Simply the answer is no... It can peel without coring or slicing. However the coring/slicing is done by the same piece which can be removed. So you can just peel but not core and peel without slicing .

This one will slice it. I bought this one for myself and I also replace my moms. Her old one was a peel away brand. It also slices but it is a much better peeler than this one.

You can disconnect the slicer. It's just screwed on with a wing nut. You can always reattach.

no, the machine when cores it slices if you want to peel alone then use a hand corer, two step process

I've not had mine very long and have only used it once...and it does slice...the slicing looks like a slinky (spirally) ...lol

Not that kind of food processor. Perfect for pureeing foods and removing skin and seeds at the same time, for such foods as applesauce, tomato sauce, pumpkin puree etc.

Well, lucky for you i can answer this because i also bought the appler corer peeler from amazon as well. The apple peeler/corer, did exactly what it meant to do. Peel and core the apple. The core from that came out thicker and the peels comes out in a separate strand. Now, this spiraler does core the apple and when you line up core with the hole before turning the handle, the core came out smaller and thinner because the size of the hole. The peels with this paderno spiraler will be mix in with the rest of the apple noodle. You can see the peel and separate it manually if you dont mind doing so. But the best thing is that you can do MORE things with this spiraler than the apple peeler/corer.

I only slice meat from a frozen state, provides a much more consistent thickness. The machine has been slicing frozen meat for over two years and still works. It is advertised as being able to slice frozen meat and i have had no issues.

I used mine for applesauce but had to peel them first because the end cup burst off when the peels clogged up the insides! So after peeling using an cheap apple peeler/corer/slicer it worked perfect, the skins were just too tough!

Yes you can peel-only by removing the corer/slicing blade, per directions. You can peel only, core and slice only, or peel, core and slice. You cannot core only or slice only since it has an integrated 2in1 blade for core/slice and a separate blade and mechanism for peeling.

Yes. You can. Just have to lock the peeling out of the way. It has a brace specifically for this purpose. The only two functions you can't do separately are coring and slicing as they use different edges of the same blade. Hope that helps.

i don't think so, there is a core inside, I use mine to cut decals with an X-acto straight blade and also difficult parts in my model building (separating them from the sprue neatly) etc. Unless you don't know your own strength, I would think not. If you don't hit the back of your sharp blade with a hammer, I think it would be very unlikely, unless you're secretly 'The HULK'. Matt is about 1/8th thick.

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

yes, there's a metal piece that holds the peeling blade away from the apple so you can slice and core the apple without peeling

I used this for apples mainly. I wasn't impressed with the corer tho. It was a little clumsy I tried to peal a orange and almost broke it. For apple uncored it work great.

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.

It peels well and cores ok. There almost always seems to be a little core left when it's all said and done. This does not slice, however.

Yes, you can peel an apple or potato without it being sliced, however the apple will still have the core intact.

No, this will not peel your vegetables. It will slice them or just spiral them. Perfect if you want to do sweet potate fries, zuchine, beets... I love mine! Very easy to use and clean.

No, it does it all at once; peels, cores, and slices. Great for zipping through apples for freezing!
