Once the spoon has been completely run around the fruit, it\u2019ll easily slip out of the skin in one smooth piece.\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https:\/\/images.tmbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/wwwroot\/toh\/images\/articles\/peeling-slicing-spoon-out-kiwi_thcb64392d374a.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<b>Peel and Slice<\/b>\r\n\r\nCut the ends off and peel with a vegetable peeler.\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https:\/\/images.tmbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/wwwroot\/toh\/images\/articles\/peeling-kiwi_thcb64392d374b.jpg\" alt=\"\u201dPeeling\" \/>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nApple-style\r\n\r\nWhether you\u2019re looking for the easiest possible prep for a kiwi or you have an adventurous spirit, this is for you.
