Peeling oranges!!!!!

[whiteflare]

Any tips, guys? I'm getting in a bit of a tiff here

(AND have just sliced my finger open under the nail trying to poke a hole in the skin to get me started!

I always peel oranges by hand, because I don't like the way knife-cut segments taste.

You need to get yourself an orange peeler!!! lol

I hate peeling oranges so I go with the segment method.

Shannon:

When did people start making those? Epic!

If you dip them in boiling water and just heat up the skin, it will peel easy.

Downside is if you get the flesh hot it will get a little bitter.

Imp- bit of a trick there.

Had to add that my mom used to eat them whole, skin and all.

That's hilarious.
I forgot to try biting it. It's the long weekend. I'm never fully awake until about six in the evening

Taz: Skin gets caught in the middle of the segments!

Yeah, and rolling it (hard) like he did really helps loosen the skin from the inside.

I have always hated orange peels jamming up under my fingernail. XD I go the cheaper route and use a ball point pen or the blunt end of plastic silverware to open the suckers. They can not keep their tasty, tasty innards from me!
