Finger-Style Orange Peeler Tool

Orange Peeler Tool You Wear on Your Finger

Peeling an orange with a knife risks cutting into the fruit (and yourself), and peeling it by hand gets juice everywhere. This orange peeler tool works like a better fingernail. You slip it on, score the peel and lift it off, no mess.

It's a green plastic ring with a small pointed tab. Slide it onto your index finger, draw the tab across the rind to score it, then hook it under the edge and lift the peel away in big pieces. Because it's on your finger, this little orange peel tool moves with your hand and feels completely natural. The easiest way to peel an orange without sticky hands.

How to use an orange peeler

1. Slide the ring onto your index finger with the tab facing out.
2. Hold the orange in your other hand and press the tab lightly into the rind.
3. Draw 4 to 6 lines from top to bottom around the fruit.
4. Hook the tab under the edge of each section and lift the peel off.

Only score the colored part of the peel. If you see juice, ease up a little.

What else it works on

Oranges and mandarins peel cleanly in large pieces. Grapefruit and pomelo work well with slightly deeper lines. Lemons and limes are possible, but their peel holds on tightly.

Who it's for

It's perfect for anyone with long nails, anyone who hates sticky fingers and anyone who eats an orange a day at their desk. It's tiny enough to live in a pocket, a purse or a lunch box. Kids can use it too, with a grown-up around, since the tab is pointed.

Ring or stick?

This one feels like peeling with your fingernail. If you'd rather hold a little handle, our orange peeler stick is the other option. Either way, rinse it in warm, soapy water after using it.

It costs less than a bag of oranges and lasts for years. Add it to your cart, or compare all our orange peelers and other fruit and vegetable peelers.
