Orange peel magic!

imageScott and I have been eating more oranges than we should over the last few weeks. I’m beginning to wonder if someone can overdose on vitamin C… The navels that have been at the Broadway QFC of late are delicious! We’re seriously eating so many orange I go back to restock almost every day. (I have two/day or so. Scott has a variable amount, up to 6.)

I’m generally not a huge orange fan because I don’t like peeling them. Casey introduced us to this amazing the book “orange peeler”  a few years ago. We’ve had it tucked away in our kitchen and it made the move into and out of Perú storage. I didn’t come to love the tool until our recent orange binge.

The nub on the top is used to make lines in the peel (like what you might do with a knife), and the bottom part slips under the peel to get it off. No fingernails necessary.

    I have one of those too!! Koreans eat oranges like they are the last food on the planet. But they prefer the satsuma mandarin ones…many times eating 3, 4, 5….10 in one sitting. They are quite yummy!

    Nice! I love these things… They aren’t as necessary for satsumas though, especially when they’re ripe and the skin peels off easily. :) YUM!
