Norpro Apple-Master Peeler Slicer Corer

Yes, the unit is designed with versatile settings. You can adjust the blade to slice and core the fruit while leaving the skin intact, which is perfect for recipes that require the texture or color of the peel.

The vacuum base works best on smooth, non-porous surfaces like granite or laminate. If you have a textured or porous countertop, the included clamp is a more reliable option to ensure the device stays stable during operation.

While it is optimized for apples, it works well with other firm, round fruits and vegetables like pears or potatoes. It is not suitable for soft produce, which may get crushed by the mechanism.

The unit measures 9 x 3.25 x 5 inches, but you should account for extra clearance around the device. You will need enough room to comfortably turn the crank handle and accommodate the fruit as it moves through the peeling and slicing blades.

The device is relatively straightforward to maintain, but it is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand washing the blades and components with warm, soapy water immediately after use to prevent fruit acids from corroding the metal.
