This worked great! Easy orange peeling.

I peel oranges for someone regularly and sometimes it is hard for me.

This helped me so it might work for some of you.

The only mistake I made was when you go around with the knife don't cut too deep.

Other than that it was perfect.

The music was a little loud in the video though lol.

Thats slick. Thanks. A spoon is a great way to peel a hard cooked egg too, but you use the other end

That is so cool!

Interesting, thank you for posting. But I liked one of the comments: "If this is the easy way, I'd hate to see the hard way." I don't eat many oranges, preferring instead clementines. They're easier to peel - usually.

I cut the orange in quarters, then gnaw it off the rind.

Probably not the ideal method if preparing in a recipe to be served to others.

I just avoid those recipes.

What also works great is a little gadget I got at a Tupperware party about 35 years ago. Its called Tupperware Citrus Peeler.

Not something I would normally buy, but I was invited and felt I needed to purchase a couple inexpensive items. I'm glad I got it, it works like a charm on oranges and grapefruit.

Was it oranges?, or possibly tomatoes? I recall seeing one or both being dipped in hot water, and peels 'peeled off' very easy. I'll have to try it. All I know is re: hard boiled eggs, placing them in COLD water works very well for peeling off the eggshells. Peel the shells off while the eggs are underwater.
