How to Peel a Mango - The Top 2 Best Ways
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 бер 2015
- Peeling a mango can be an annoying or difficult task but with these 2 techniques you can peel the softest or hardest mangos out there.
The first technique is to cut the mango into 3 chunks then score the mango both direction and flip it inside out leaving you with easy to eat mango chunks.
The second technique is to peel a square grip point around your thumb so you can peel the rest of the mango with easy grip. Once you've peeled the rest of the mango you can hold the top and slowly peel away the grip points. After the mango is completely peeled you can chop it into chunks and eat it or make something like mango salsa or other recipes. This is the better technique to use if you want to maximize the full amount of mango removed from the peel and if you want to use it in recipes.

Thank you! I love your methods.

While we wait for mine to ripen, read a true short story............
A COBRA IN MY HOUSE
When living just outside Selma, Alabama in 1965 . I was 14. My father had married a waitress named Maude. She was a homely looking woman resembling a man more than a woman or maybe more like an ox. She was stout with a prominent mustache. We lived in an old but stable white house with an orchard in the back including a large lemon tree. Father still sold house insulation and would be gone for days or weeks at a time. Maude would always go with him along with her chihuahua dog.
While they were away, I went to school by bus, came home, did my school work and busied myself sculpting clay into animals like cobras, elephants, dogs, gorilla head and the like. I then painted them with oil paint to look more real. But I found that the paint would never dry because of the oil in the clay. I also painted landscapes and drew caricatures of students at school which I sold for $5 each.
Another pass time I had was watching TV and shooting the mice and much larger rats that ventured to find food in the house. I had a pump BB gun which did the job quite well.
I could see the living room, dining room and the kitchen from my perch on the couch. So when one came sneaking in, it would stop for an instant next to a wall by the doorway, POW!! I got it. I disposed of it outside and then waited for the next. One night I decided to see what would happen if I placed my clay cobra in there. I placed it where most of the rats made a fast dash through the dining room. Then I waited. Sure nuff, a good sized rat came to the edge of the door, it looked around and made its fast dash across the room. Suddenly it ran right into the cobra. The rat leaped high in the air doing a somersault in the air as it came down and hit the floor. Its legs were moving so fast that it was sliding on the floor and it knocked the cobra over with it landing on the rat. It was on it’s back with legs running as fast as it can and squealing. Never knew a rat could squeal that loud. ……. Then silence. I went over to see the rat with paint all over it and the floor. I picked it up by the tail. It was very dead. I thought it died of fright.
I threw it out with the others. I was pleased I had created an effective rat killer.
So I repainted the cobra and set him up again. The next rat was frighten away by it in time. So, POW!! I got him. I killed three rats that night.
When I went to bed I left the cobra in the same place just outside the kitchen door in the dinning room and went to bed, then fell fast asleep.
Around 3 AM I was suddenly waken by a loud scream and a bang, bang, bang. Jumping up and running to the dinning room, I saw my stepmother standing on a chair screaming and my father with his 32 snub nose pistol pointing at my now destroyed cobra.
I cannot forget the look on my dad’s face as he was bent over looking at the dead cobra, then turning his head to look at me, while still bent over with his mouth wide open. He was stuck between being mad at me because of the damage to the hardwood floor, the extreme fear, and the plain funniness of the situation. He finally started laughing while Maude was still standing in the chair now screaming at me.
My father always scoffed at my art as a waste of time but still bragged to others when we had his friends over time to time. He told this story over and over while drinking with a friend at home. It was funny watching him re-enact it while somewhat drunk. I was afraid that he was going to shoot somebody during the act.
By the way, I did get into trouble, but mostly because Maude wanted my art out of the house because it ’stunk’. The oil paint had linseed oil and turpentine in it.
I wish I had Plaster of Paris back then.
I also got into trouble when I sculpted a naked female,....................... that's another story.
delightful story.
Your story was far better than this video!!!
He's Canadian! Love hearing you folks up north say about:)
Those unripened mangoes will give you a belly ache. Take the time to leave them to ripe in room temperature. Once ripe, place them in the fridge if you want.
I've been cutting my mango into strips and eating it like a watermelon, biting into the fruit and leaving the skin/rind.
You are very good at explaining things, a natural teacher. Thanks.
I'm glad I saw your video and I enjoyed it. It looked like a lot of work to me but you did wind up with a whole lot of mango on your cutting board... so 😀👍!!! I've got 6 mangoes and I'm going to see what's best for me...and Thanks 💯🥭🙏 !!!
Mangos supposed to be juicy and ripe. I would toss those over the hill.
8 minutes for a 1 minute video...
Katsoulinos Omg I thought the same thing!!
Things are bigger where he's from, 1 minute equals 8, a centimeter is 3/4 of an inch . . .
Seriously! 1:30 in and I'm being lectured on cutting my hand? Tell me about knife safety in another video. What a nitwit!
I was thinking the same thing.
exactly my issue... and that mango isn't ripe to begin with...
I appreciated your video on selecting a ripe mango. Why did you choose unripe mongos for this demo?
I let my fruits fridge-ripen too!! I LOVE cold fruit!
TIP A small sharp Paring would be much better & safer, to use than that big Chef Knife, You would be able to control it better also & don't have to worry about slicing your Hands either etc.
Lol. K bro
it saddens me that those mangoes aren't ripe and wont be enjoyed to its full potential.
So, I was right?! They need to be a little yellow.
I prefer unripe mango, Crisp and slightly tart and great in salsa!
@@johnsamuel43 and when it's super sour I'll eat it with a pich of salt or shrimp paste. 😋
It actually doesn’t matter much if the mango looks green.
With Indian mangoes especially, ripe mangoes have a much more fragrant smell whereas unripe mangoes don’t have much of a smell.
You can buy those 3 Colored Peelers on E Bay for about $2.00 From China, I got mine there they do it all like the Commercials you see on the Tube here etc. They work great etc.
I’ve learned how to determine if a mango is ripe and how to access the fruit. You’ve taught me all I know. The only thing is I don’t know what to do with it now. I have two nearly ripe in the fridge. Have you any easy mango recipes. I’m not ready to just eat it plain.
Nicely done.
Thanks for doing this video....... Helped me out and now subscribed to you. Again... Thanks.
Helpful tip - the word he’s looking for when he says “locate where it connected to the tree” is this real obscure thing called “the stem”.
And that dude's got some big centimeters, 3/4 inch centimeters.
Thanks for the video. The last time I cut a mango it was a complete disaster. Hence the reason I watched a video on how to do it properly.
Has anyone been able to identify the exact peeler used in the video?
If they are truly ripe you can basically peel them by hand
I’ve only recently been eating mango, I was wondering if anyone else thought that the flesh closer to the seed had a pine tree taste? I also find cilantro taste like soaps and so use it sparingly.
Thanks for making this video, good to learn different/better ways to peel this.
I'm so glad to know that there is someone else in the world that thinks cilantro tastes like soap!! Every time I say that, I get confused looks and statements such as "How do you know what soap tastes like?"... Smh... To answer your question though, I don't find the flesh to have a pine tree taste, but it does take on more of the flavor of the seed to me. If that makes any sense. :-)
@@thelesteralexanderchronicl2334 if both you guys start cursing I think you should wash your mouths out with cilantro 🤔😯😂😉👍!!!
@Donna Davis > LoL..... Yep..... to both. I do not care for cilantro for that very reason..... Tastes exactly like soap to me. I avoid it myself.
I grow them, your mango doesn't look very ripe. I grow 3 different varieties and they are all bright orange inside. Honey mango's are more bright yellow inside with a yellow skin.
The second method is awesome! I will be doing it that way from now on! Thanks for the video!
Thank you at least for trying to show your method albeit amateurish but this kind of stuff has a learning curve. If you keep at it, you cannot get any worse, you can only get better. Good luck man.
thank you
Wonderful!, but let me disclose a little information. Most peelers are like that so that if you are left handed, such as myself, that the blade will rotate and cut for a left handed person. It is a bad idea to try and push the peeler.
Can you ripen a mango once it's picked?
Where did you buy your knife?
Amazing how many videos I see on UA-cam where people call themselves a chef and don't know how to handle a knife correctly.
My first was not ripe, me thinks, hard below 3/4 inch. I just soon have a red apple. Flavor, texture, apple like.
The easiest way to peel a mango is to use a potato peeler. Really quick and little mess
I have seen many ways to cut a mango and your was by far the most time consuming. I think the last part when you were cutting small pieces off of the dead can be done with one cut starting at the top and cutting around the seed in one ongoing cut to the bottom. Try it I think you will like it😁
Those are the two most unripe mangos on the planet.
Explained how to use a knife 😂😂 😂😂 !!
that mango 🥭 is not ripe did you not learn from your last video?😭😂😂
No mango left behind ✌️
First take the sticker off...
why?
Right! He didnt even wash it first
@@vynuoge111 Only if you eat the skin
It's all about the composting
theyre edible
I would love for you to make a video experiencing durian fruit.
I was under the impression that it's banned in the United States, but I don't think that's the case anymore. I'll find out and get back to you. 😆
can get durian usually frozen in canada, not sure about america
I'm sending this to a guy named Mango on Discord :)
Best tasting chow
Shouldn't mangoes be yellow and red not green? And can you eat a green mango?
Who you talking to first graders 😂
Peaches are a lot better and less messy. Cantaloupes are better also. Mangoes taste like a peach/cantaloupe combo. Soooo, just saying.
mmmmango
What a load of waffle for a simple exercise. Over one minute thirty seconds before he makes his first cut.
Is he serious? Mangoes don't ripen in the fridge.
I cut mine like as if it were a cantaloupe or watermelon and eat it in half moon shaped slices.
Next time buy a ripe mango
Lol

👍
not everyone likes ripe, mushy fruit you know?
His mango was either not ripe or the lighting was weird bc the color should be a dark yellow or orange
These peeps with the POSITIVE feedback MUST BE FRIENDS OF YOURS because that 2nd method looked like an ABORTION(SORRY LADIES)
2nd video i watched on the topic. Neither one said a word about telling when the mango is ripe enough to prepare. Seems like a kinda dumb thing to leave out.
Mango..., Fridge?!?!?!?!?! What a ......................!!!!!!!
I this is the best method for Peeling a mango *eats mango* mm nom nom non 🥭
I’m just trying out a couple things and I’m just wondering how
Good, always we have to try out everything by our selves
2nd method was terrible - you have a slippery mango and a sharp knife, which you clearly had difficulties with. first method is perfectly fine and can be done with little wastage, also you can use a spoon to scoop out the flesh from the cheeks when the mangos are actually ripe (which this mango is not).
Wow knife safety video? Alot of not to the task at hand chatter.
Marcus Lyons literally no one cares. Keep your disgusting comments to yourself.
Brhaaaa you cut the sticker.in half 🙆🙆🙆🙆😝😝😝😝😆😆
Get to point
Why are you peeling a mango that isn't very ripe?
yikes this was hard to watch...why wouldn't you turn the fruit onto it's flat side once you've made the first cut?
Yours is the second article I'm reading about how to tell if a mango is ripe and it looks to me that this one you are cutting is not ripe; you didn't mention anything about squeezing it for firmness, so I'm a little confused. You spent too much time talking about using the knife AND peeling and cutting it. This should not be a time-consuming task; so I suggest you edit your video.
1) very not ripe mangoes. 2) a sharp knife will cut without movement. 3) don’t peel “islands” use a damn paper towel for grip.
Colin Jost??
Dude, just stop. Go home.
I am home... this is my... home....
well, you know what they say...
Chickens one day, Feathers the next!
Nor ripe AT ALL. Mangoes are meant to be eaten when soft and sweet. Very juicey too. 🥭 supposed to be red on top, yellow in the middle and green on the bottom. You want as much as YELLOW as possible because that’s where it tastes the best. Very sweet and juicy and slurpable. 😋
Should’ve waited a little bit more. Maybe check it a couple hours. The seed hasn’t even been able to form either that’s another thing to be aware of. For it to be a real 🍉 🍎 🍌 fruit.
Is there some elaborate augmented reality game being played where everyone posts videos of all the possible wrong ways to cut mangos? I've only seen *ONE* video ever where someone did it the right way. You take a sharp knife and cut along the seem. Then you remove the seed from both sides with a spoon. Then the skin with the spoon. Practically impossible to cut yourself. Gets all the flesh. Takes a minute if you're slow.
that seems like a good way but may be difficult with mangos we get here in Canada that aren't tree ripened.
I really liked the spoon technique also. After cutting both sides off the seed I just scooped a side with a spoon then I cut it into 4 pieces. For the middle seed part I just quickly trimmed vertically on a cutting board then I just enjoyed eating around the seed by hand and mouth. As for the green mangoes I will just let them sit on the counter till they begin to ripen. Really Green ones are hard and not tasty and difficult to cut and not worth the time. I just tried a smoothie with the hard green one I eventually cut- and it didn't taste sweet and not smooth. I'd rather buy frozen mango than try to cut a rock hard green mango. I will see how long it takes for the green mango to ripen on the shelf. Also I wash and dry my mango before I begin the entire process and I wear disposable gloves so to keep my hands away from what people will eventually be consuming. My wife taught me to me be a lot more hygienic than I was before. I also live in Canada and always have- can't wait for it to warm up again.
🤦🏾♂️
Those mango is extremely far from being ripe. the meat and skin both show mango's and not ripe at all.
It’s not ripe for eating. The taste will be very bland and have a hard texture
That would be mine, first mango, last mango.
It's not a taste test video, it's for educational purposes (how to cut a mango properly), so your insight is kinda irrelevant at this point; no offense.
@@thomasloks6364 naa dummy the ripe ones cant be cut like this because they're too soft and juicy
@@MlkBsm94 that's funny because the ones that I cut exactly like this after watching this tutorial were ripe as shit.
Wrong knife for the job.
He is a man
That 🥭 isn’t ripe at all
just get to it...too much gabbin
this is not ripe mango.... dude :P
Your knife is dull...lol
Too much narrating; too long delay in actually showing what we need to see. Video should be 3 minutes, tops.
That mango is not ripe lol
Canadian "ripe" mango
too much unnecessary chatter, look at some of delicious day videos, no idle chatter, just how to do.
Taking advice of how to peel a mango from a gringo😖 plus it's green , and he recommends ripininf the mango in the fridge 😳WTF
Your mangos do not look juicy ripe! Is this for the purpose of the video or do you not love a richer ripening?
Your talking is more annoying this video should be less than 15 seconds
you aren't nice
Dude! You talk too much!!
you can probably see I made this video 5 years ago when I was new to the platform
hi .... interesting stuff ... but why oh why do you have to put that nauseating background noise ...??? do you really think this somehow enhances the listening process....?? do you think people will stop listening to what you have to say if you dont have that silly sound in the background .... ??? the noise is so nauseating and very distracting .... why do feel there is a need for it ...?? youre not alone in adding that horrible rubbish noise to your video ..... so i guess you just aimlessly follow the herd.... !! good luck
Don't know what to tell ya, I was a shitty content creator back in those days.
Your “basic knife 101” is what making me cringe. It’s ironic your tip is to have a sharp knife when yours is dull that’s why you can’t cut when pushing down. It’s actually the correct way to preform most knife strokes like the chop or slice. You also shouldn’t cut by moving the knife back and forth, it’s not a saw. It’ll tear what you’re cutting making jagged cuts. If your gonna make cooking videos you might want to invest in a knife sharpener and learn a proper grip so you don’t cut yourself. Don’t want to be down several months when you cut yourself.
If you take a knife though and press it isn't your skin it won't cut, the sawing motion is what slices.
Absolutely horrible and no way this 2 way!
That's no ripened mango.
Long and wrong.
Thanks Sherlock, good thing you're on the case.
Mansplain much? 😆
only on thursdays
@@EarthMonkey Thank you for your reply. After reading my original comment, I'm rather embarrassed at its flippant tone and sincerely apologize if you, too, felt the same way. At the time I posted the comment I was trying to find a better way to prepare mangos for a fruit salad. It never occurred to me to use a veg peeler. I always used a paring knife and ended up with a lot of waste. Thank you for taking the time to make this video because you taught me a better way to prepare mangos.
@@barbmccafferty4533 No worries Barb, live life to the fullest!
What about soft mango. Hahaha
This kind of mango not good and not sweet .
Absolutely horrible and no way this 2 way!
