For Slicing and Coring without Peeling
When you wish to keep the peels on the fruit for flavor, texture, or color, pull the peeling arm
downward and engage the lock lever. The lever will keep the peeling blade clear of the fruit.
Tips and tricks
- Apples and potatoes that are firm, blemish free, and symmetrically shaped work best.
- For best results use only small to medium sized apples. Very large apples may have
undesirable results.
- When peeling potatoes US Grade #1 will give you the best results.
- Avoid using soft fruit. Soft fruit will have problems peeling and staying in place on the fork.
Making Shoestring Potatoes
You will need to use this technique and cut potatoes into shoestring thickness if you wish to
make hash browns for example. The ICO peeler makes cutting shoestring potatoes almost
effortless, which will save you from having to shave your potatoes on the grater.
1. Remove the coring/slicing blade from the path of the shaft.
2. Adjust the peeling blade as far toward the potato as possible so that it cuts deep into
the potato.
3. Turn handle and peel the potato with the deep cut.
4. When the full length of the potato has been peeled, lock back the peeling arm, pull
back the peeling shaft, and then release the peeling arm.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the peeling blade will no longer clear the 3-
prong fork.
Cleaning and care:
- When cleaning the entire unit hand washing in recommended.
- After washing dry thoroughly.
- Peeling and coring/slicing blade can be washed in a dishwasher.
- A drop of vegetable oil on the moving parts will insure smooth operation for next use.
