Minjie Citrus Peeler Bright Orange Review

Peeling oranges is fun! I sat there trying to use my nails and it took me ages to peel an orange which I sometimes didn't eat because of the effort. These little tools work great and make eating oranges easier.

I really like these citrus peelers, just wish they were stainless steel so I don't have to keep buying them. They're simple and work great until they break, which happens at least once a month. PLEASE make them stronger where the blade is, it breaks too easily at the base.

If you've been slicing oranges or have nightmares about peeling oranges, give these tools a try. My 3 year old daughter goes crazy when she sees me pull this tool out of the cutlery drawer, she knows she's getting juicy navel oranges! It requires a bit of skill and technique, but it's a lot better than doing it with a knife or by hand.

We had these when I was little and they were so useful to start eating an orange when the thumbnail was closed was short. 30 years of searching and finally found!

I use it but in hindsight I wouldn't buy it and just use a serrated knife to measure depth.

I recently bought a few. When they arrived I realized I had made a mistake. They were very cheaply made and didn't go deep enough. I replaced the one I had for a year which was great. Eventually it broke (they don't last forever - they're plastic). Then I decided to find one that was as close as possible to my original - it definitely is. It arrived today and looks, feels and peels like the original. I'm sure it will last a few years and then I'll have to look again. They're a little more…

A long time ago, a retail company offered an orange peel as a bonus with your order. These little gadgets were nowhere to be bought. I lost mine when we moved and I mourned each winter when oranges appeared in stores. Then I saw these beauties here on Revane. Oh joy! Yes! They're not exactly the same, but they work exactly the same. You simply run the sharp edge across the entire outside of the orange once, and then again at a right angle (I do this four times, as if marking the segments. Then…
