Do you need to peel veggies first or can you leave the "skin" on them?

No need to peel veggies..especially since a good portion of vitamins are in the skins etc.

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.

Applying lotion is up to you. For my own treatment, I soaked my feet in warm water before I used the booties. It took about a week for the peeling to really get going. When it started, I used lotion every day after I showered, when I scrubbed off what was peeling and put socks on until the peeling was done.

I saw the peeler used on a cooking show...it looked so easy. It took a little practice though-not too much pressure and use larger whole pieces of veggies and fruit. The company website may have more information too.

Yes. I cannot emphasize this enough. Yes, you must peel any fruit or vegetable that has a thick or very waxy skin, as it will clog and possibly break the juicer. Oranges, grapefruit, bananas, clementines, etc. all fit into this category.

you can. I am a vegan chef and use these a lot. I would peel first though. For grains, I would soak them first but still, it can even be used as a mill to make things like flax powder. If you want more advanced techniques, I have machines with 3 button capabilities and different carafes, one for dry and one for wet ingredients. Feel free to ask me any more questions. Joe Lucier

You sure can! That is one fantastic aspect of the thing. Granted, you need to rinse the peel out, but it makes things a lot easier.

Yeah you run cold water over them to stop them from getting overcooked and to make them easier to peel. And it takes the time as directed. They've come out perfect every time.

I didn't have this problem! They have an order of which side to peel off first and stick on then another you peel of after it is on and then it's done I'm sorry if this isn't helpful!

Yes, mostly ranging from 1.5 - 3 minutes with instructions for half or full bag. I personally prefer to cook for slightly less than instructed. Also note that for many food you want to add a small amount of water (1 tbsp) to steam better. Lemon and garlic are also very good additions for most veggies.

not certain, but, good product. Each one has a different function. I mainly use the peeler, but the others are good for veggies.

No, it won't just remove the peel it will spiralize the entire apple peel and all. I'd suggest you core the apple first if you want to do that.

I know that Jack LaLaane's commercials like to show his machine juicing WHOLE apples, however this is not a good idea if you juice a lot of them because the seeds shouldnt be consumed in large quantities. I just cut the apple in half and remove the seeds with a knife. Then you are ready to shove the apples in the feed chute. No you do not need to remove the skin beforehand.

yes. I just started leaving it on overnight. I use a thin layer so the burn lasts a few seconds while drying. My complexion and glow is improving. By doing this with a thin layer, I also don't have the obvious dead skin peeling.

Certainly. On the label there is directions for fruits and vegetables. I use a couple of drops in a large bowl of water, dunk and scrub the vegies, then rinse. Or you could spray a water/Sal Suds mixture on, scrub, rinse.

Don't peel until you know exactly where you want them and it helps to have a friend with a good eye standing about 8 feet behind you and you on a stool holding them in place. Level from one side to the other.

Thanks! The previous answer from someone thought I meant the package but I meant the container once your vegetables are chopped. Thank you again!
