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

This is the best peeler I've ever owned. I don't know if it will peel the tough skin of a raw butternut squash but I'll bet it will! I just tried it on a big raw pumpkin and it peeled the skin off just fine.

What is the actual problem? Is it not cutting at all? Mine had a protective sticker on the back blade when I received it. It also only works with the cutters pointed down into the vegetable. I use a fork to hold the veggie down and protect my fingers. Not sure what else to suggest without knowing what is happening.

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.

I don't include the peels but I would imagine it would not be possible for the peels to come through. I guess it would depend on how thin and soft the peel is. One problem that does arise in general is that the potato does not all squeeze through. It leaves a 1/2 - 1" inch packed layer. What I do is scrape it and fluff the remaining potato, add more if I have it and do the process again. Otherwise, it is impossible to squeeze the packed layer.

Unit does not peel the garlic. If you put the gloves with the skins on, you will have a mess and need to seperate the garlic pieces from the now confetti sized peelings. NOT RECOMMNDED.The blades are plastic and not steel. Therefore you do not get mince-you get crushed mush of garlic. It would be BEST to describe the final grated garlic as have been "grated" rather than minced. I'm sorry I bought this- I remember the forerunner model which had "steel" blades which truly minced; this is another junk product for the public; I've gone back to using my knife to to do the job until someone does this the right way.

yes it could be used that way dr you can use the square cutter blades to make square fries you just have to slice your vegies the size you would like to use it is also great for making homemade potatoe salad you can dice up your eggs pickles onions and all the other things used in your salad as you know everybody has their own twist on what is added to potatoe salad but dicing your onions and sweating them on medium heat will make your potatoe salad last longer without the onions overpowering the whole dish those onions tend to take over with age if not sweating them down to pretty tender texture but like i say yes this is a very good asset for you kitchen utensils. hope you enjoy it we sure do enjoy ours vegetable sour is a cooks best help the norco big mouth slicer, chopper have a great day

This will puree foods very finely. It has three levels of mesh. When I make potatoes with it they are very smooth. It will also leave any peel in the container, it won't go through the mesh. Hope that helps!

Yes, it is very easy to use...it is almost the same dimension as a regular peeler, although the handle is slightly thinner than the one have. I love the zuchinni and squash this way. I haven't tried carrots yet.

I have not tried. We have a different peeler for hard or firm veggies. We use this one to peel mangos and it is excellent for 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 .

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.

I find this peeler to be great for peeling my regular vegetables like carrots, cucumbers, and potatoes--and I also use it for zuccini and eggplants and it does a good job. I think the fact that it is all stainless steel gives it added strength. I hope this helps you.

Yes it sure can. However, sometimes I find that it does "too good of a job". On things like onion used in a potatoe salad, it comes out more minced than my husband and I like. Sorta ends up mushy and I have to drain the onion juice away from the end product. It might be me though... I prefer to chop onion with a manual chopper. "Carrots, etc?" I love it!!! You will too!! I can't recall the differentiations of this model vs another as I did a comparison with a good share of other models and brands a long while back. it has done a superb job!.... Hope this helps.

I have this peeler and I can peel potatoes and carrots without killing my hands. I have arthritis in my wrists And have difficulty doing so many kitchen tasks. I hope this information helps you. I always read references before buying a product so hope this information helps you.

That's "no" on 1, "yes" on 2. The device has two tools on two separate arms that can be individually engaged or disengaged. One is the peeler, the other tool both cores and slices. So, you can peel without coring and slicing, you can core and slice without peeling, you can do all three at once, but you can't core without slicing.
