Tupperware Citrus Peeler (Black)

This is my favorite citrus peeler! Works great!

My 10 yr old LOVES oranges and he's been BEGGING me for a set of citus peelers like these since trying ones at my mother's house so I purchased these for him for his birthday. They peel oranges, grapefruits, etc perfectly without having any issues.I had used peelers like these growing up for years. They are a perfect addition to the kitchen. Use the hook and just tear through the skin with ease. Use the other end to lift the skin up a bit and tear the skin away from the orange slices. It's so much easier than getting orange peels under your nails or using a knife.After having these for over a month, they have been working perfectly for my son (and for the rest of our family when he doesn't know we're using them). They are strong, sturdy and absolutely great quality.•Set of 4 Tupperware Citrus Peelers•Neatly peels away the rind from citrus fruits - orange, grapefruit, lemon, lime...•A classic favorite for generations!•No Color ChoiceWhen you order them, you don't get to pick what color(s) you get so that's a downfall, I'm just glad we received my son's favorite color (green). He honestly probably wouldn't have cared one way or another because he just wanted them so much.He broke his arm and has been in a cast for the past 8 weeks and still was able to use the peelers with very little problem!

I bought these as I eat a lot of mandarin oranges and peeling them was staining orange the corner of my thumb nail. Now I get to eat my tasty oranges without stained nails. These peelers are just the right design to easily cut through the peel without cutting the fruit inside at all. They are also sturdy and comfortable in your hand - not like some other cheaper plastic peelers. Nice that there are multiples in the pack, as I keep one in the kitchen, another in my remote caddy where I eat a lot of oranges in the TV room, and will have one at work for my lunches. Good buy! The only thing is that mine came not in black but all red. However, they work great.

They’re perfect for my mandarins, no more yellow nails 😤

For people unfamiliar, this is a tool you can use to help peel citrus fruits (grapefruit works especially well). I'm one of those weirdos who peels grapefruits for fun, and I try to completely remove the outside peel and the membrane around the actual fruit, as well. The result is clean fruit without any chewy bitter white peel, and it's extremely satisfying to extract it when you're using one of these tools instead of just your hands. I showed my wife and daughter and now they're peeling grapefruits all day long, it's like Vietnam in our home.The tool itself is heavy and sturdy plastic, and is probably one of the nicer specialized kitchen utensils I've used. You're likely expecting these things to be featherweight and bendable; this is not the case. You could probably kill a man with one if needed. While the tool itself is very well made, I only gave it a 4 out of 5 due to two things that drive me nuts about this tool.The first is that the "hook" end is a bit too wide, which leads to needing more hand strength to pull it through the peel, as well as a bunch of citrus oil flying out of the peel and into your eyes. This is a design flaw, and I believe they might have done it on purpose in order to ensure the tool would essentially last forever. A more narrow hook would mean a smoother and easier cut when pulling it through the outside peel.The second issue is the the bottom "blade" end is very rough and scratchy on each tool. I use the blade end to lift the membrane and the hook to cut (or pull and tear gently), and the blade ends up being annoying with how rough it is. It catches on the fruit, so I eventually needed to polish them all down smooth.These are minor complaints, but overall this is a great tool if you've never used one. Tupperware makes a great one.

I've only ever used these for oranges, and they work GREAT for those. I expect they would work well for any type of fruit with a peel similar to an orange. Sure, a knife works fine for peeling oranges too, BUT why continue to dirty all your knives and risk cutting yourself each time you do? These won't cut you and if you have little ones around you don't have to worry about leaving them out on the table like you would a knife. Overall, they are a great little too that is worth the money if you eat a lot of oranges or other like fruit.

I like the fact that it is unique, does not break ( as another similar product did) and is easy to use

Classic peelers and they do the job as intended.
