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

Yes, you can peel an apple or potato without it being sliced, however the apple will still have the core intact.
1561672
If you remove the slicer you also remove the corer. It will only be peeled.
1561673
Yes, you just remove the coring and slicing attachment on the end of the tool.
1561674
Yes, you just move the slicer blade out of the way. I did this with potatoes and it worked great.
1561675
Yes,you should be able to as each piece is adjustable...ie, just adjust it so far out of the way so it doesn't slice.

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

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.

I peel the potatoes before I cook them but when I cook red potatoes I leave a little of the peel and it sometimes goes through-as long as there is not much.

Yes, there is a small lever that holds the peeler back. The apple's are sliced in a spiral while being cored.

I have never cut any potatoes with mine but I think the answer would be no. It has 2 slicing blades but I think all they would do is slice it into something like a chip. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I recommend at least quartering and coring. You really don't want the appleseeds in there. But you should be able to skip peeling- depending on the type of apple, it will generally do that part of the job for you.

The corer/slicer part is detachable so I would think it would work fine for peeling potatoes.

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 .

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 detach the piece that cores and slices. This would enable you to just peel the apple.

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!

No you can't peel and core without slicing. This is because the core blade and the slicing blade are the same blade. The inside of the end blade does the coring. While it is coring, the outside of the blade does the slicing.

the apple peeler has a gadget that you can adjust so that it will just peel without slicing does a good job

Yes, you can peal the apples without slicing them but it won't core them without slicing them. It works great! I highly recommend one.

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

Personally, I peel them, but the peels would not likely make it through the ricer if you didn't. If the peels got between the potato and the ricer holes, neither would the potato.

I would say no. I tried cutting an apple in half and slicing it. The results were not satisfactory. The slices are very thin. The slicer is the least effective of the pieces in this set. I use the graters and the julienne all the time, but almost never use the slicer.
