I'm not sure about pineapple, but flesh, yes. took a layer of my index finger off, lol. I have used it on ginger and horseradish though and does a amazing job.

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.

No. I have not. It works pretty well on mango fruits. You have to position it just right and it works best on fruit that is not over ripe. I would be curious to find out if anyone has tried it on other fruits.

I never thought of that! So I tried it and it works....to a certain degree... Since tater peels seems to be much harder than apple peels, it takes more pressure to work. And unless your tater is very symmetrical, it will leave bits and pieces of peel on the spud that you may or may not want to remove. Frankly, I don't think this peeler is made to do this, and it may wear out the little peel blade more quickly. To make a long story short...yes it will peel potatoes.

We've used it on both melons and pineapples with good results. We do remove the skin and roughage prior to running it through as drinking those parts doesn't sound appealing, even if it would be just fluid.

The ostart fruit peeler removes the complete ouside of the pineapple, it also removes the core.it is easy to use.

I have had mine for many years and it still works like a charm. After I am almost to the bottom of the pineapple, I pull the slicer up a bit and then cut the bottom of the pineapple off. I have always washed mine by hand. And while I don't use it everyday, it gets used at least once a month.

Never thought about that! But will be trying in the future. Of course, one can just use a grater to get zest...as well as using a very sharp knife to carve the lemon/lime/orange skin. This apple peeler....worked wonders on the apples especially when you have several trees to do! Loved it!

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.

Yes, I have peeled many items with this and the thing I like about it is how easy it is to adjust the pressure when peeling. When peeling a fruit or vegetable with a thinner skin I have found this to be the easiest peeler I have used. I am in my 60's so I have used my share of peddlers. Well worth buying.

I would imagine that firm pears would work. You might get a bit at the neck end that didn't peel completely, but I see no reason why it would not work for the predominance of the fruit. I'm suggesting this on Bosc or other firm-textured and tight-skinned varieties. We have peeled some very irregular apples and had no difficulty.

Yes. You can remove the piece that slices and cores. Then you would only peel the apple. You cannot core without slicing too.

The peel works great even with dry skin, it will remove the dry dead skin. Remember to use a good moisturizer after you are done.

It sure can juice a Pineapple with its skin. I've juice a whole melon with its skin and seed and it came out perfect. Although, when I juices the pineapple some pulp does get into the juice. So don't expect it to be clear and non pulp. This machine can really juice anything. I make a combination juice of Lemon orange and some greens and I usually put in the orange and lemon whole into the juicer.

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

Unfortunately, no. It slices and decores all at once. The only piece that separates is the handle from the rest of it to get the pineapple off. Works great once you get the hang of it!

Not sure if peeler works on butternut squash since I've never tried to peel veges with a hard shell skin.
