Does this slice the apples at the same time as it peels them? I have been trying to find one that just peels the apples, no slicing.

the apple peeler has a gadget that you can adjust so that it will just peel without slicing does a good job

You can detach the piece that cores and slices. This would enable you to just peel the apple.

I used mine for applesauce but had to peel them first because the end cup burst off when the peels clogged up the insides! So after peeling using an cheap apple peeler/corer/slicer it worked perfect, the skins were just too tough!

Nancy I bought the one with clamp included and very glad I did. It takes a while to learn how to adjust the peeling but works great for slicing and coring. Doesn't take too long to have enough apples ready for a pie or even an apple crisp as I just made.

I didn't use the apple peeler at all, sent it back. I've got a marvelous grater and grate orange and lemon peel like nothing. It's easy as pie. It's made like a small box and the top is a grater and the peel just goes inside...voila, zest!

Mine is a genuine Back to Basics Peel Away -- the words are cast into the metal base and frame. If you want to core the apples, you have to let it slice them too. However, you do have the option of just peeling without coring or slicing by undoing the wing nut on the front and removing the corer/slicer blade.

Yes, as a matter of fact, this was the main reason for me to purchase this item. If you get the 3 lb bags of apples - they are small - like a tennis ball - they slice perfectly. Start it off without the gripper so you get a flat side of the apple, then put the gripper on and slice fast! They do slice thin, probably about the thickness of a greeting card. I pop them in the oven at about 190 degrees for about 45 minutes and they turn just a tad tan and get crisp. I don't season them at all though you can sprinkle some cinnamon if you want that flavor. They turn out great and you can eat a whole gallon ziploc bag of them without any guilt! Yes, as a matter of fact, this was the main reason for me to purchase this item.

It cuts the apple in a continuous spiral which you then cut in half. That makes half slices of apple that fit perfectly in a dehydrator. You can even adjust it so that it does not remove the peel. I use it for my dehydrator as it's important that each slice be the same width. In short, no wedges.

We just got this last year and have put a great many different brand and sizes of apples thru it and just love it. It worked great and the slicer makes such uniform slices so easy and fast. As for any other fruit or vegetable don't know. But for the price and fun and ease it is worth it. Especially if you cann a lot like I do.

This apple peeler is a great time-saver. Works perfect. Just put a towel of other soft fabric under it when peeling. I highly recommend it.

This item peels, slices to the core and cores as well........easy to use......stick apple on forked end of shaft, rest peeler against apple, turn crank and when you reach the end of the apple.....the apple skin is off, its sliced and the core remains on the forked shaft......its a nice unit and I like it.

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.

Doesn't make any difference what kind of apple you want to peel, it does them all the same'

One of the blades will do the apple peeler but, I bought it for the spaghetti spirals it does with zucchini and carrots. I love this thing--my salads are so pretty! They look like magazine photos.

Well, lucky for you i can answer this because i also bought the appler corer peeler from amazon as well. The apple peeler/corer, did exactly what it meant to do. Peel and core the apple. The core from that came out thicker and the peels comes out in a separate strand. Now, this spiraler does core the apple and when you line up core with the hole before turning the handle, the core came out smaller and thinner because the size of the hole. The peels with this paderno spiraler will be mix in with the rest of the apple noodle. You can see the peel and separate it manually if you dont mind doing so. But the best thing is that you can do MORE things with this spiraler than the apple peeler/corer.

what is this question....? How did you decide it works with only green color? It works with ANY apples... it will peel what ever you put there...

Yes, you can peal the apples without slicing them but it won't core them without slicing them. It works great! I highly recommend one.

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.
