Does the "apple slicer" make 8 wedges, without coring?

Yes it cuts 8 wedges and there is a nail in the center to hold the apple or potato in place. It does not core the apple.

It does not come with additional blades. The texture of the veggies would be like applesauce. That is what I made with mine. Love it.

It think it has three. There are thick, medium, and thin slice blades. I believe the thinnest one doesn't have an actual blade attached but it uses the standard/default blade that comes w/it. You should clearly see 3 different triangle-shaped things..one will likely already be loaded.

Yes, just change the inserts. There are three different sizes for slicing & two for chopping.

No, it core and slice at the same time. You can peel without slicing or coring

No, this just makes slices, however I did see one along the way (more $$) that does the julieene. If Good Grips makes it and if it is even half as good as the one I bought, it should be a winner.

Not really the only thing you can do is adjust the depth of the blade so it doesn't cut as deep....it will leave some peel on the ends but you save a ton of the Apple. Uneven apples and large apples don't do as well with this peeler. I have done potatoes and small apples and it works great.

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

No, it only slices. The one I ordered I only used twice. The second time the plastic holding the blade broke and the blade feel out.

Not on this item. The slices are universal. Which I've found to be the perfect width. Not too skinny and not to fat.I watch my wife slice a pineapple the old fashioned way while I zip through mine in a quarter the time with this handygizmo.

I do not, I think slicing would make it dry out faster, unsliced you may have to just slice a bit off the cut end if not used all up.

I've never tried it, but, I don't believe you can. There are two different blades, one on each side of the slicer, but, you only use one side at a time.

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.

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.

No. the slicer and the corer are both made out of the same piece of metal so you can't do one without the other.

I have no idea and can't check because the slicer is at our other house. Sorry but next time I'm at the other house I will check. If you don't have the printed manual you may be able to find it online through the manufacturer.

It will not pare and core only. The corer and slicing blade are one piece. If you remove the corer/slicing blade, it will just peel. You can have it core and slice by keeping the paring blade out of position. I find that the blade slices a little too thin for me and the blade is not adjustable but the machine really works well. I don't know why people say it will not stay still when using the suction lever. As long as the counter or table is formica or glass. it is very stable. I use apples from three trees I have in my yard and it does a good job on large and odd shaped apples for me. Not as good as medium sized but more then adequate.
