I want to be able to peel potatoes as well as peel and core apples and have the option to slice or not. Will this work for those options?

I haven't tried potatoes yet, but don't know why it won't work. This does good peeling, am not real happy with the way it slices...you might have better luck. You can peel and not slice.

I would think so. If you loosen the wing nut and swing away the coring circle it should peel a potato. I haven't tried this but looks like it would work.

I believe it will, as the slicer blade and the coring blade can be adjusted out over the way ,or in the case of the corer removed. Hope this helps. I know from apples to pie in oven in ten min!

You can peel potatoes if they are pretty uniform in shape and not too big. The things that have not worked on this handy little machine are pears that were too soft and very, very large apples. The corer/slicer piece does come off, so I guess you could just run them through without that. Should work!

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

Simply the answer is no... It can peel without coring or slicing. However the coring/slicing is done by the same piece which can be removed. So you can just peel but not core and peel without slicing .

Yes! But you will only be able to cut soft vegetables, Irish potatoes are ok but sweet potatoes or yams will not work

I tried to peel several different fruits. The machine is brilliant and works like a charm, but it is for apples only.

Yes, you can peel an apple or potato without it being sliced, however the apple will still have the core intact.

Although I have never tried, I think if you cut the potatoes slices thin enough it would chop them just fine. This unit is not overly sharp - so the potato slices would need to be fairly thin. Hope this helps!

It is supposed to do the spiral and peel and core. These three actions are independent and are controlled be three different blades which you can adjust if you don't want all of those actions. If you experiment with the adjustments, you'd ll see what I mean. Good luck.

if you want to core /slice keep the slicer part up so the apple goes through the hole if you don't want to slice the apple there a wing nut below the slicer so you can losen the the wing nut and turn the slice to the side ..and it will just peel without slice...

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.

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

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.

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.

The corer/slicer part is detachable so I would think it would work fine for peeling potatoes.

We've only used it on apples so far, but the directions say it will work with potatoes. After using it, I think it definitely would work for potatoes.

the only vegetable i have ever used was potatoes, i have loosened the spiral blade and used the peeler part only to make hash brown potatoes. my brother in-law peels and slices potatoes and fries the core part along with the slices when i do pears, the firm ones work best as the more ripe tend to not hold onto the prongs, so i guess that you cant slice and peel ripe tomatoes

Yes you can peel-only by removing the corer/slicing blade, per directions. You can peel only, core and slice only, or peel, core and slice. You cannot core only or slice only since it has an integrated 2in1 blade for core/slice and a separate blade and mechanism for peeling.
