Your machine works perfectly for oranges, actually. These have been around Puerto Rico for decades. Orange sellers push carts of oranges in Old San Juan on hot days and peel oranges using machines such as yours on demand. The orange has all of the white part intact, then they cut a cone shaped lid at the top. After removing the lid, they use a blade to make punctures inside the orange. This releases the juices inside. Then we squeeze the juice, drink sips as we squeeze, then eat the orange by turning it round and round and taking bites until it is all gone. The white part has tons of fiber and makes one feel very full. It was one of my favorite treats as a child!
This actually looks like it might work well for me. I just want the outer dark orange peel off, but am okay with the pith staying on - I plan to run about 100-150 oranges through a juicer and/or blender and then freeze, so leaving the pith on works in both cases for me I think.
your machine works perfectly. You just want it to do something it wasn't design for. the first peel is the right way. after that peel, cutvit in half and suck it. you want it to end up as a mandarin, and that's not what it is for
Excellent comment. That’s exactly what I was thinking while watching her video. “The first peel is the right way” The machine does a great job, after the first peel, just cut the Orange in half, and suck it.
WOW! The one thing that kept me from an apple peeler, is how thin the slices of apple are when your done, and this one will let me cut the apples any size I want!!!!! FANTASTIC, and it does potatoes too!!!!!! WOWOWOWOWOW Getting one right now. Thank you!
Thanks, I haven't tried mangos yet but this peeler has a had time holding somewhat soft fruits, for example, pears. The blade doesn't get far before it knocks the fruit off the prongs with the softer fruits.
Looks more like an orange zester than an orange peeler. Although, I like how this peels the apples and potatoes so I may get one just for that. I've been taking the slicer/corer part of my apple thing off and using it to just peel but it just won't do potatoes well. Especially small ones. How does this one do on those small, too hard to hold onto without also peeling your hand, potatoes?
I have one and I never considered it for my potatoes and apples. I'm gonna use it way more now. I use it mainly for oranges because in my country we peel our oranges with the pith on. Then we slice the oranges in halves or quarters and sort of suck/eat them that way.
Well, I guess I will have to add this thing to my want list! haha. I have two, five gallon buckets of pears in our extra refrigerator. I have been bringing them in a few at a time to ripen but soon need to begin to can them. Already worked up the other four buckets that had bug spots. Really enjoy all your video!
I like that it doesn't cut too deep because I need something like this to make orange peel candy and the thinner the better. with the rest of the orange I'd just squeeze it
Thanks Susan, you gave me some great ideas of what I'd like to try using my-- Back to Basics- "Peel Away" that a friend just gave me. Mmm, candied citrus....thanks again and say hey to Bobby.
I think Oranges would be hard to peel down to the orange part as the pith sticks so well to the orange and there is no hard part like apples or potatoes have to let the blade take a bite. It was fun to watch. I would like to get one of those gadgets look like your peeler but turn cucumbers and squash and potatoes into long noodles.
Inspector Gadget strikes again ! With so much variance in the peel and pith of oranges, I can see where it would have difficulty doing a good job. But, as you said, for taters and apples, it's a winner.
Thanks for this demonstration. I always thought that the 'white stuff' was very healthy. When I hand-peel an orange, I always keep that part, except for any loose strands.
Part of the depth problem is probably that oranges have been getting thicker peels over the years, altered by the growers so that they can look better after going through shipping.
you are right , he could have a different type of orange. I wonder if it would help if the orange was very cold? Is he peeling a lot faster or slower/?the speed could matter too, if you get the title of his video let me know
I'm guessing it wouldn't because the blade is kind of small, about the size of a kernel of corn. I show a couple of ways I cut corn off the cob in my video "Canning Corn and Corn Cob Jelly".
This would be great for making marmalade, take off a very thin layer for chopping into the marmalade, take another pass to remove the bitter pith. I think you could set up the apple peeler machines to do this too. Just swing the corer out of the way and adjust the cutter to very thin.
imstillworkin, thank you so much for sharing with us all. I like your new gadget and I will first purchase the apple peeler, then the orange peel too:) Blessings !
I think that this is great to peel potatoes...I hate peeling potatoes....Probably gonna hafta get one. I would love to have a processing station that had all my gadgets set up ready to go...I hate getting my gadgets out and set up. Boy, I sound cranky. Thanks for all you do for us.
I don't know, I'm thinking my .25 plastic tupperware citrus peeler is still working great. Tip for those who don't know the pith is very important to have on the citrus if you are juicing in a juicer.
Oh my gosh, that would drive me crazy, trying to do that, I'm too inpatient:), I think I will stick to the peal by hand method .. thanks for sharing tc. by the way have you ever heard of flour frosting, if so, maybe you could do a video on it:)
I love that you love gadgets! I would have more than I do now, but I am out of space. Where do you store them? I need more storage space. I converted a small back bedroom into storage and it is already full! Help!...lol God bless.
Do do think it will hold up for a long time it looked a bit wobbly, I love tools and get myself in trouble often for having too many,, he he, my wife does not share my fascination with gadgets.
Hi. It's really a wonderful ideal product. But very sad was that. I bought a same item from china online. Today I opened the pax. The handle is broken. Ever that handle is wrong direction. And try to peel a orange is not process with same like you. Can u help me out . Where I can purchase a orange peeler is a good one. Thanks.
I watched several orange peeler videos just now and really don't see much difference in what you are doing. One of the videos it looks like the oranges are a lot greener and firmer.
I agree, as a potato peeler it looks really good. I grew up in orange groves, and there are sooo many different varieties/thickness of skins, I can't imagine anything that would suffice for all of them. Gadget Empress, ......you just wanted another 'thingy' to add to your collection;-)
Hey, girl. LOL. Sort of like a left-handed coffee cup? :D Nah. You do just fine. They *should* have designed it with that in mind, IMHO. Or at least made it so that the default peel ejection was for right-handed people, since we're in the majority.
In the late 19th century there was a real orange peeler by the Goodell Co of Antrim, NH It was called the Success Orange peeler and it worked better than this model and I use mine.
Hello, Im from Panama, here, we use that kind of peeler, but we just take the orange skin off it, then we cut em in half and suck em hahaha i guess that machine is made to peel the oranges for that kind of eating

It actually does a good job peeling the orange. What more do you want?
For the pith to come completely off without clogging the blade. As you can see, that did not happen after 3 tries
That's exactly what I need, to peel the thick skin and to leave the vitamin rich pith intact for the juicer. Thanks, I'm ordering one now.

My grandparents had one of these, great memories

it looks fine to me . what do you expect it to do, work out new quantum physics theories?
I like that it doesn't cut too deep because I need something like this to make orange peel candy and the thinner the better.
with the rest of the orange I'd just squeeze it

Great review. I only own a hand peeler and use it for everything - kind of a long process when making pies or canning. I should consider one of these!
Part of the depth problem is probably that oranges have been getting thicker peels over the years, altered by the growers so that they can look better after going through shipping.
You could actually try turning the orange around, and doing the second peeling from the other side, it could help
Wow! Didn't know they made one for oranges. Thanks .
you are right , he could have a different type of orange. I wonder if it would help if the orange was very cold? Is he peeling a lot faster or slower/?the speed could matter too, if you get the title of his video let me know

Just got an apple peeler today. Works well. Good vid!
That'd be ideal for peeling potatoes. Thats my #1 most hated kitchen chore next to cutting up raw chickens.. ECKK!! :) Thanks for the review!
imstillworkin, thank you so much for sharing with us all. I like your new gadget and I will first purchase the apple peeler, then the orange peel too:) Blessings !

sounds like it would be good for peeling everything but oranges. i wonder how well it would do peeling sweet potatoes?
I don't know, I'm thinking my .25 plastic tupperware citrus peeler is still working great. Tip for those who don't know the pith is very important to have on the citrus if you are juicing in a juicer.
You are soooo right. This thing is worthless for oranges, but potatoes are another thing. Thank you!
Its meant for peeling the rind only not to actually peel the orange , the purpose is to use the rind for making essence .
Oh my gosh, that would drive me crazy, trying to do that, I'm too inpatient:), I think I will stick to the peal by hand method .. thanks for sharing tc. by the way have you ever heard of flour frosting, if so, maybe you could do a video on it:)
If you score the fruit deep enough with the tupperware peeler the pith should come right off with the peel.
I bought one of these to make Limoncello as well, haven't used it, but how has your success with it been?
Great review 👍Thanks. Do you think you could use this gadget to create vegetable 'noodles', spaghetti type strips of e.g. carrot or courgette?
superb concept congratulations
Excellent Demo ...thank you!
Good to know,thanks for sharing! It's kinda like a wood lathe for food,lol!
Laughed all the way through it
I love that you love gadgets! I would have more than I do now, but I am out of space. Where do you store them? I need more storage space. I converted a small back bedroom into storage and it is already full! Help!...lol God bless.
What genius designed it so the peel falls on the floor, instead of the counter?
Perfect for juicing. The pith is healthy. You just want to remove the orange part.
+PhoenixTTD That was my thought. I just need to get the peeling off quickly and evenly and it beats cutting orange peelings with a knife.
The pith clogs up cold-press juicers.
That's why I use the high speed juicer
Marek Sumguy or you could just use a blender.
But the pith is the best part for you. All you need is to get the orange layer off.
I peel potatoes on my apple peeler corer. I just remove the corer section and cut the tips off of the potato.
the pith is one of the most nutritious part of the orange - use it!
Do do think it will hold up for a long time it looked a bit wobbly, I love tools and get myself in trouble often for having too many,, he he, my wife does not share my fascination with gadgets.
Hi. It's really a wonderful ideal product. But very sad was that. I bought a same item from china online. Today I opened the pax. The handle is broken. Ever that handle is wrong direction.
And try to peel a orange is not process with same like you.
Can u help me out . Where I can purchase a orange peeler is a good one.
Thanks.
yeah me too. I want to peel the skin and keep the pith. But do you know from where I can order it? I couldn't find it in Amazon.
As long as it takes the thick peel off I'm good. I can't stand peeling oranges by hand lol
Yes I agree- it's very much a potato/apple peeler!
My apple kept slipping out. I guess I have to buy harder apples for it to work.
I watched several orange peeler videos just now and really don't see much difference in what you are doing. One of the videos it looks like the oranges are a lot greener and firmer.
where did you purchase this

I guess it's time for you to start making candied orange peel.
Where can I get one of these online?
where can one buy it?
What is the feedrate per revolution? Haha I'm just kidding, it looks like a lathe.
will it cut corn off the cob?
where can i buy this?
Hey, girl. LOL. Sort of like a left-handed coffee cup? :D
Nah. You do just fine. They *should* have designed it with that in mind, IMHO.
Or at least made it so that the default peel ejection was for right-handed people, since we're in the majority.
Please how can I get this?
Where I can buying of machine?
In the late 19th century there was a real orange peeler by the Goodell Co of Antrim, NH It was called the Success Orange peeler and it worked better than this model and I use mine.
i have stilled the design and made the same gadget myself lol
chocolate covered orange peel is good...........
They shoud call it a zest maker
LOL I think I'll just peel the damn things with my hands.
i had to cut the potatuh in half
I think I will stick to the old fashioned way.
Hello, Im from Panama, here, we use that kind of peeler, but we just take the orange skin off it, then we cut em in half and suck em hahaha i guess that machine is made to peel the oranges for that kind of eating
You gonna tell that peeler to pith off? lol Had to say it lol
adblocker just stoped wokrking, my life is over
