Will this item pare and core only? I don't always want my apple sliced.

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.

It cannot core an Apple due to the proprietary nature of the screws. Although it can quad core a Dell.

No, don't think it would be good for that. You can buy an apple corer on Amazon for the purpose.

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.

The corer comes with a hard plastic cover to cover the bottom of the slicer wher the sharp edges are. The cover also serves as a place to put the apple after pushing the corer thru the apple leaving small part of the apple left to slice. Place the apple on the cover according to the instructions and you are able to finish slicing the apple. Best corer I have ever had and it is very sturdy. If I ever happen to break it I would buy another immediately.

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

No apple will not allow it .. your gonna have to buy the apple product it was like $40. Apple makes you buy their product for everything.

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.

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.

Place apple core side Down on blades then press top firmly down over apple to slice

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

No. This won't peel an apple. I don't think it would core an apple either, because the size of the hole in the middle is not big enough to go beyond the apple seeds.

That sounds like a fantastic question to ask the folks at Apple who don't make it easy on folks to do this stuff. I no longer have a Mac pro... so can't help sorry.

As long as the apple is not bigger than the inner circle of the cutter, yes it will slice through. I have had no issues with this.

You can peel or not peel The corer and slicer are the same piece so you always get coring and slicing.

If you remove the coreer and the peeler arm, you can slice anything that will stick on the three prongs. I have only done apples and potatoes, but I don't see why it wouldn't do anything that you wanted. There is a thumbscrew to remove the corer at the end of the device, a spring that will allow you to loosen up the peeler so it doesn't peel. This would leave you with only the spiral slicing. I don't believe it would slice all the way through though, since normally it does remove the cor. I have not tried to adjust that but it may be possible.

I use it only to slice apples for pie. Probably a big potato would fit on the points and spiral out nicely. The slicing part clings to the outside of the apple (or potato) and peels away all the outside rind or coat. You can chop up the little core that is removed. How hard is that? Since I got this gadget I make a LOT more pies. L.
