Jayne said:To peel without coring and slicing, loosen bolt at bottom of coring/slicing blade using the crescent wrench that came with it and move coring/slicing blade out of the path of the apple/potato. Proceed as usual. I got this off of the Use and Care Instruction card that came with it under Tips and Techniques! Hope this helps! I've never tried it though.
The apple peeler is a tool that removes the skin from an apple, while the slicer is used to cut the apple into thin, even slices. The corer removes the core of the apple, leaving behind the edible flesh. Some apple peelers also have built-in slicers and corers, making them multi-functional tools.
To use an apple peeler, place the apple on the prongs and turn the handle to rotate the apple while the blade removes the skin. To use the slicer, place the apple on the platform and press down the blade to cut the slices. To use the corer, insert the corer into the top of the apple and twist to remove the core.
Yes, most apple peelers/slicers/corers can also be used on other round fruits, such as pears or potatoes. However, the size and shape of the fruit may affect the tool's effectiveness.
After use, disassemble the tool and wash all parts with warm soapy water. Use a brush to remove any residue from the blades. Dry the parts thoroughly before storing or reassembling.
Some apple peelers/slicers/corers have an adjustable blade that allows you to control the thickness of the slices. However, for those that do not have this feature, you can adjust the thickness by rotating the apple to cut thicker or thinner slices.
