Daily Kitchen Note
Peeling a kiwi with a knife often removes too much of the sweet flesh along with the fuzzy skin. By slicing off the ends and sliding a spoon between the skin and the flesh, you can quickly and cleanly remove the peel with minimal waste.
How to Peel with spoon
- Using a sharp knife, slice off the top and bottom ends of the kiwi to expose the flesh.
- Insert the bowl of a tablespoon just under the skin of the kiwi.
- Gently slide the spoon around the entire perimeter of the fruit, keeping it close to the skin to separate the flesh.
- Push the peeled kiwi out of the skin or lift it out with the spoon.
Why it works
The curved shape of a tablespoon naturally follows the contour of the kiwi, allowing it to cleanly separate the soft flesh from the tough skin without cutting into the fruit.
