I just bought a juicer so I'm pretty new to preparing fruits. When I use peaches, it says to remove the pits. Would this corer work on small peaches?

Michelle,It might, but a peach is so easy to just cut in half and take out the pit. I probably wouldn't get it for that.

No, a peach pit is different from an apple, because apples have seeds that are small and easy to remove. You should just cut the peaches in half and remove the pit that way.

Yes. It basically pulls the center out as well as slices it. The core will be removed as well. It will look like a stack of uniform pineapple slices. They will be connected in a spiral, but all you have to do is make one slice down the stack to separate them.

The users guide states it is not made for juicing grapes, or uncooked vegetables or fruits. That being said, If you cut up or mash the grapes first, It works fine. It is a more of a fruit/veggie saucer that removes seeds, peelings, etc. You do not get just juice, but depending on the type of a grape, more like a thin to thick sauce. You just need to strain it to get the juice out. Grape skins do break easily in this since there is nothing to cut them. If you cut them open they will juice just fine. I usually run my fruit through twice if the pulp (seeds and skins) are still very wet when they come out. The left over pulp is very dry after the second time. You may have to clean out the screen several times since the skins of some like to stick to the inside too. If you are making a large batch of juice, or don't have time to cut grapes and stop and clean the screen, I would suggest using a juicer made for grapes. You can also stomp or mash the grapes first, then you would have more of a mash that should work just fine. If you soften the fruit and skins by steaming or slightly cooking them, they work better too. Any fruit or vegetable that is not soft does not easily juice. I cut apples in 1/4s and steam them in a little bit of water till they are softer before saucing them for applesauce or apple juice. So, for a small amount of grapes, you are OK, for a large quantity, it would be a slow process.

Hi Charlotte,I'm sorry I can't help you. I purchased it specifically for my peach trees. I'm sure if you Google, you should be able to find out?

Likely, you meant "How do you remove the apple core from the apple corer". The "device" has the plunger. After you twist and push the corer into the apple, twist and pull it out of the apple. The apple core would remain inside of the corer. Just push it out by the plunger (which is inside of the round red handle) and rinse the "device", the best I have ever used for the purpose.

I have a U-pick orchard including sour cherries and the Leifheit is the best pitter that I've found so far for pitting them. Get extra gaskets if you plan to use it a lot though because the gaskets do wear out after a few gallons of pitting.

Yes this juicer juices beets well and greens etc., if your peaches and apples are soft they will be mushy, they recommend you use hard fruit ,no jams it chews it very smoothly ,also I juice wheatgrass, as well, also make sorbet , they have a great demonstration on YouTube.com.Best juicer, I highly recommend it. Good luck.

I just used this to pit 2+ pounds of Rainier cherries, and at least 25% of my cherries still have pits in them.

I think it depends on the cherries. If you are pitting Queen Anne cherries for a pie, they are too small. I believe it would work on Bing Cherries but I fear it would tear the skin. The point sharp end are meant to prick the flesh of the fruit, dig in and remove the core of the stawberry. Although I generally eschew single use tools, this one is so perfect that it should be in the drawer. Besides we all have a zester and it only does the one thing.

I have never used it for limes that small but looking closely at the spot you place the fruit it seems like it would work great! We still love this juicer and use it frequently. I highly recommend it.

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

I mostly juiced vegetables carrots, celery, beets, some greens, so I'm not sure. I would remove the pit a peach pit is pretty hard and large.

Ranier, yes. I bought mine AFTER hand pitting a bunch of tart Ohio cherries last year. I was anxious to try the pitter so I bought the Washington State cherries, worked like a charm. I look forward to having it for tart cherry season this year. Works as described. The pit container will fill up quickly, but it still saves time.

It should work for blackberries. The juice is collected in the second chamber and the pulp of the fruit and the seeds should Still be up in the top chamber. You could always line the top chamber with cheesecloth if it looks like the seeds will get into the juice. I love my steam juicer. I've made two batches of sole juice and with the pulp made apple butter. Delicious!

i don't think so, tho' I wouldn't be certain. Juice extractors are for hard things like carrots, apples, celery - beetroot (but what a mess!) - and grapes (delicious), etc.

I see no reason this tool will not peel core and slice pears. I peeled appox. a bushel of Asian pears this fall. The cutter follows the contour of the fruit if adjusted correctly. It helps if fruit is firm. It does create problems when the fruit is soft. I like this tool to peel apples and Asian pears. This is the only fruit I've tried and It works great.

This juicer is excellent on anything that is "leafy". I have used it on kale, cabbage, spinach... it works very well. The pulp which comes out is very dry. You can always pass the pulp through the juicer one more time to get those extra drops. Hope this helps.
