Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Norpro 197 Plastic Orange Peeler
Customer Review: Not a necessity, but a lot of fun if you can get it for under a buck!
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
