I have two of them from Oxmoor. They stay in the sewing room in a mug with
assorted other things for turning, pulling, pushing and poking. Mostly I
use it when I've backed an appliqué and need to ease the seams out flat so
the backside doesn't show. Didn't know it could peel an orange; I'll have
to try that. Polly

I thought it was just the opposite - you score the peeling with the pointed
hook end and pry the peel off with the flat end. At least, that's how I was
taught to use the Tupperware version many years ago.

Thanks all! I'm debating whether to take it down to the sewing room to use
the way Polly suggested, or try it the next time I have some citrus in the
house!

I won one at a Tupperware party too.
That was the party where I got lucky at the games and came home with
the orange peeler, the egg seperator, the sugar scoop, and the cake
server. My mom didn't speak to me for a week, and then when I went to
college and they went to Colorado she absconded with all my
tupperware! LOL
