Peeling oranges

[Kaabi]

I peel it with my nails right from the beginning, I don't bother with any utensils of any sort.

I use to do the same with the "globe cuts" But this is a good method and you can actually roll it before you do the cutting. Helps quite nicely.

I always used a spoon. :-) Works like a charm. I've never tried rubbing it in my hands... I'm gonna try that.

I used to work with this guy that would nuke an orange in a microwave for 30 - 45 seconds, and then peel it. He said it was easier that way. One day he nuked too long and the orange caught fire. That set off the smoke detectors, and sounded the buildings fire alarms. So I can't say I recommend his method.

Use a spoon? How???

And as far as microwaving it... wouldnt a warm orange be gross??? And uhm... OOPs on the fire. LOL

I flip the spoon over so that the rounded part is facing up... I push it into the orange to start off and then keep going under the peeling with the spoon still facing rounded part up. Works great!

I'd never thought of doing that with a spoon. Seems like a technique that would take practice. I'd probably end up scooping half my orange away. *laughs*

yeah ive never seen an orange peeled with a spoon, and never seen someone put an orange in a microwave
