….I just went for it…. Crunch I'm not sure if it's cooked it's just normal unlike the cupped peaches, it's a full peach, I don't eat the peel. 🙂
I mean, dang.
Woah, who's this guy? They should put him in more videos, just sayin'.
does anybody know if doing the same thing for peaches would work for a mango just to get the skin off easily?
offended is perfectly correct usage. don't listen to the youtube yahoos.
Quick tip: I'm guessing this works on other thin skinned produce like tomatoes and potatoes.
shocking.
Isn't this the same method to use for tomatoes?
Repulsed is more befitting probably.
I'm not correcting you, sorry if it seemed so. I just found that a curious choice of words 😐
This is most useful if you have to prep A LOT of peaches, I agree. For just a few, I also just use a peeler, or dont peel them at all.
Is that not how I wrote it?
You can do that with tomatoes as well
When cooked in a recipe the skin comes off and rolls up into unsightly, leathery "rods" that have a bad mouth feel and they alter the colour of the dish. Many people don't like peach skin and peeling shows effort and consideration for those you are feeding.
"offended" xD
Yeah but you don't want anyone at the table getting offended by the skin.
