Hey ladies,

I have a guest that wants to purchase this, but they will only get it if you can choose not to slice with it. In otherwords they just want to peel and core the apple. Do you know if this is possible?

Thank you!!
 
The blade that does the slicing is also what does the coring. You can remove that blade if you don't want it to slice, but then it won't core. I guess you could just peel with it and then use The Corer (#2415) separately.
