This design works better than the others!,
By L.K. (Kalamazoo, MI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Norpro 197 Plastic Orange Peeler
(Some notes: The color of the peeler is orange, in case you wanted to know. Also, the price stated when I bought mine was for qty 2 of these, but they were packaged together in a pack, and I didn't know that, so I got double what I thought I had ordered. No biggie!)
You make four cuts in the orange, turn the peeler over, and now it's a digger. Depends on the orange but I usually have no-mess peelings. If the orange is tight-skinned then this really helps dig into and separate the peel from the fruit. A best-of-breed peeler for sure, and a lot better than those stick-like citrus peelers. I take them to meetings at work and everyone is amazed. These are so inexpensive that I bought them for the whole department.

Not a necessity, but a lot of fun if you can get it for under a buck!,
By Penumbra (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Norpro 197 Plastic Orange Peeler
This is a great little gizmo if you can find it at your local Dollar Store or equivalent. Two "magic orange peelers" on a card will run you about a buck. If you have to pay more than .50 shipping, then just use a knife, a fingernail or a paper clip to peel your orange.
This is just a little plastic ring that fits on your finger. It's attached to a curve with a "tooth." Pierce the orange with the tooth, and the curved surface makes it easy to run this over your orange and section off the skin without cutting too deep. I don't know what possessed me to buy this in the first place. The card sat on a shelf for quite a while. Eventually I put one orange peeler in the kitchen drawer and took the other to work. Amazingly, it was fun! I started buying more oranges just so I could use the gizmo. Then one day the little plastic "tooth" bent over and kind of flattened out. I tried straightening it, but it just wasn't able to peel any more. That's when I realized I was hooked on the orange peeler. I went to all the Dollar Stores in my vicinity looking for a replacement, but no joy. Then I started looking on line. Well, here it is - but the shipping charges are outrageous! What's up with that? This isn't a volatile chemical like paint or perfume. It isn't made of glass or something that requires a lot of cushioning. Heck, Amazon's associates charge less than $3.00 to ship CDs! The Orange Peeler can be a lot of fun. It may make it easier for you, or a child in the family, to get your requisite daily allowance of fruit. But don't go overboard. For a buck the gizmo is a deal. If you tack on high shipping costs it's not worth it.

Save your money and use a knife.,
This review is from: Norpro 197 Plastic Orange Peeler
This item is all molded plastic. There is a curved surface that fits the contour of an orange. Within this curved surface there is a plastic protrusion. With this you make cuts around the orange. But you could do the same thing faster with a kitchen knife. Next step: there is a curved plastic surface that you drag under the peel. The problem is that when you peel off the peel with this device you get a lot of white inner-layer peel that stays on the orange. You will need to cut that off with a kitchen knife. But alas, you could have saved yourself a step in the process by just using a kitchen knife. This peeler is worthless.
