Skin it then pull the pieces apart. Easier to figure out with a tangerine.

This is one of the most "draw a circle, then draw the rest of the owl" comments I've read. :) Skinning it is the tough part.

Sorry. Not trying to be unhelpful. I guess for that the tricks actually breaking the skin for the first time. Then kind of exploiting the tear from there. Sometimes I can use the pith (white flesh) to help separate the skin. Maybe it’s an angle thing? Having some nails or the edge of a butter knife seems to help too.

You can also just rip them in half. Then run your finger down the exposed sides between flesh/skin. Or bend the skin back from the meat.

Yeah it’s tough.

I think tangerines have thinner skin, maybe that helps?

For me tangerines usually have more space ie less connection between skin and meat. Might help as a trainer.

what's annoying is that some oranges... boom - they come apart perfectly into nice clean orange wedges. Then the next orange from the same bag will either have a bunch of peel left, or shred into pieces of mush.
