can you use this as just a peeler/corer, or does it have to slice it into rings based on how it is used?

It slices it in to rings or you can do bit size ones if you cut it down the sides. This is a great product and saves you time with Pineapples!

Because of how it is made you have to slice it into rings. I LOVE this thing. It works great!

I love this item. It removes the outer shell and the core all at once. You will have rings, but all connected in a spiral pattern. I then cut the "pineapple spiral" up in bite-size pieces. It's fast and easy.

It has to be used to slice into rings, which if you just cut down one side gives you half a slice, or you can cut into sections, it is not a peeler or just a corer. Love this it does a great job.

Good peeler must use a medium pine, not large because you would waist the fruit, it slices in a spiral way while it cores

I saw the peeler used on a cooking show...it looked so easy. It took a little practice though-not too much pressure and use larger whole pieces of veggies and fruit. The company website may have more information too.

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!

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.

The slicer is built in to the side of the corer so if you want one you get both. You can peel without coring or slicing.

The peeler is all one piece, none of the parts are detachable. Hope this helps.

Hi there yes you can use it for that but you might need to cut it in to smaller pieces .

If you remove the slicer it can peel the apple. I'm not sure if it can core the apple. I've never used it without the slicer/corer.

You know I haven't tried it but I have thought of it, there have been huge apples and smaller apples I have used in the slicer as long as you line up the core it still works the same ... It can do the same with other fruits big n small as well !! Go for it

This is a fairly heavy-duty corer. Depending on the density of the cupcake after baking, this corer might just tear through the cupcake rather than taking a nice, neat hole out of the center. I would prefer using a thin, sharp knife to cut the center out of a cupcake. The rounded edge of this corer is thick and serrated, which will probably damage the cupcake, especially if it's warm.

if you want to core /slice keep the slicer part up so the apple goes through the hole if you don't want to slice the apple there a wing nut below the slicer so you can losen the the wing nut and turn the slice to the side ..and it will just peel without slice...

I use it only to slice apples for pie. Probably a big potato would fit on the points and spiral out nicely. The slicing part clings to the outside of the apple (or potato) and peels away all the outside rind or coat. You can chop up the little core that is removed. How hard is that? Since I got this gadget I make a LOT more pies. L.

Because I found the unit to be weak, I did not keep the skins and cores on. I peeled and cut apple pieces. The pieces were cooked and then run through the machine. It worked okay for this, but be patient with it. This isn't a heavy duty tool. The manual says you can run things through a second time. My experience is that it will not work with a second run. I would suggest peeling and coring, then cooking before running it through.

We use the egg slicer you asked about. Yes, after the initial slice we pick up the egg and rotate 90 degrees and slice again. We also have sliced small mushrooms.

Just slices, but you can make such paper thin slices that they can be used in place of shredded in a lot of recipes. It really is a great tool to have.

It would core it while it spiral sliced and peeled it. I think that would be a waste of a lot of zucchini since it doesn't need to be cored! There's no way to avoid coring

The blade itself is 1/4 inch wide. The blade arm is set on a spring and you hold that to the apple with your left hand while turning the crank with your right hand. I am able to peel the biggest apples with no problem. I don't use the corer/slicer because it doesn't core the apples quite as much as I want them cored - it produces a core of less than 1" - and the slices it produces are too thin for most all of my recipes. But that's true of all corer/slicers, none of them will do exactly what you want done with the apple! So I use this gadget for peeling only and it saves a lot of time, I core and slice by hand.
