So it says peel core chop. Does this actually chop the apples too? Is it an attachment? Or do i buy that seperate?

The attached corer blade creates a spiral cut as it cores and peels the apple. You can then make one or more cuts on the spiral cut apple to produce small chopped pieces. Great for dehydrating!

As long as you skewer it where the core is it will slice and core it just fine. As far as peeling oddly shaped apples, it will peel the roundest part the best. It doesn't handle dips very well. But I would still recommend it to slice and core it. It works way better than the push down one where half the time your knuckles hit the counter.

It will slice (in a cylinder fashion) and core the apple at the same time. It will not cut the apple into cubes.

I didn't use the apple peeler at all, sent it back. I've got a marvelous grater and grate orange and lemon peel like nothing. It's easy as pie. It's made like a small box and the top is a grater and the peel just goes inside...voila, zest!

It has a handle that you turn to chop things into smaller pieces. It is perfect for salsa or chopping onions to fry. There is a slicer as a separate attachment. I'm not sure if that answered your question.

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! Yes, as a matter of fact, this was the main reason for me to purchase this item.

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

It should be called the "hinged pusher"; you flip that cover out of the way, push the slicer down over the apple. The apple goes all the way through except for the width of the blades. You flip the cover/pusher around and push the apple out of the slicer. Do a few apples, it works great!

Not sure what "lever" you are referring to. Is it the blade that slices the apple/fruit, or is it the blade that peals the skin off the apple/fruit? If it is the lever that has the "spring" on it that you can lock away the blade that peals the apple. I'll take a look at mine and figure out what or how to repair it.

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.

do you mean removng the core from the apple? or do you mean removing the device from the apple after coring? In the first instance, I position it in the center top or bottom up and then I use a twisting motion like sharpening a pencil. Afterwards in the second instance I remove it from the device by holding it at an angle like a syringe/needle and then I push the top while simultaneously wiggling it from the devices grasp carefully.

You can get a pretty large apple through the slicer, but better a tall apple than a wide one. The bottom plastic cover does separate from the corer to disassemble for cleaning. The corer blades do not disassemble for cleaning. The inside diameter I was referring to is the round hole in the center that cuts out the core. It is larger than normal on this model. This is definitely a higher quality corer/slicer and I definitely recommend it.

what is this question....? How did you decide it works with only green color? It works with ANY apples... it will peel what ever you put there...

Mine is a genuine Back to Basics Peel Away -- the words are cast into the metal base and frame. If you want to core the apples, you have to let it slice them too. However, you do have the option of just peeling without coring or slicing by undoing the wing nut on the front and removing the corer/slicer blade.

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've used mine just once for making applesauce and it turned out great - smooth but nice texture. If you like it chunky you're best to just chop the apples and cook the chunks. Mostly I use it on food-processored chili pods, onions & fresh herbs for making chili. Like with a food mill the more liquidy stuff comes out first and the drier & more fibrous stuff at the end. I typically stop the machine when the strained matter starts looking a bit dry.

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