Re: [CnD] To peel or not to peel
Hi there. Well, just like with potatoes, there are a lot of vitamins in carrot peelings. I do not peel fresh carrots. If you want the taste of peeled carrots in your stew or soup or salads, use baby carrots. But I think they are delicious with the peels on and well seasoned.

Re: [CnD] To peel or not to peel
I have a square peeler that I like much better than the long skinny kind. If the texture of the peeling is rough, or if the carrot has hair-like roots growing on it, I peel. I just wash and scrape thin skinned carrots and potatoes. I peel cucumbers most of the time unless making extremely thin slices where I won't much notice. If grating the potato raw then I don't usually peel, If I boil potatoes in their jackets I peel them after cooking. Same with microwaved potatoes sometimes. If baked with butter or oil, the skins get crisp and are quite good from the oven. I usually microwave sweet potatoes and then peel them. I like them mashed with butter and brown sugar with marshmallows melted on top, melting them on top after mashing. If oven roasting vegetables I leave the peelings on the potatoes about half the time but generally peel the carrots if they are the big ones. I never peel the baby or pieces they pass for baby carrots.

Re: [CnD] To peel or not to peel
I'd say wash them really well, and then peel them if you like the taste better, don't if you don't. Talk about peeling something kind of difficult, try peeling a jicama. Yikes!

Re: [CnD] To peel or not to peel
This is just me, but carrot skin doesn't add much to the taste. I have issues peeling sometimes, so I get the peeled baby carrots. If these are really thin, you can just cut them to the desired size and see how your food turns out. Lisa On 6/19/2020 12:21 AM, Marie Rudys via Cookinginthedark wrote: Hello, All!

Re: [CnD] To peel or not to peel
I peel regular sized carrots. I also peel potatoes for making boiled or mashed ones, for baked, I don't peel potatoes. When I make roast potatoes, and cut them in to wedges, I don't always peel them either. -Original Message- From: Cookinginthedark [mailto:cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org] On Behalf Of Marie Rudys via Cookinginthedark Sent: Friday, June 19, 2020 1:21 AM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: Marie Rudys Subject: [CnD] To peel or not to peel Hello, All!

Re: [CnD] To peel or not to peel
More often than not, I would eat carrots raw, so it would be either baby carrots for me, or peeled regular carrots. As for potatoes, depends on the recipe. If I bake them, I don't peel them at all. For mashed potatoes or fries, I peel them before cooking. For salads, I find it best to cook them unpeeled, then cool and peel before slicing. -Original Message- From: Cookinginthedark On Behalf Of Marie Rudys via Cookinginthedark Sent: Friday, June 19, 2020 1:21 AM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: Marie Rudys Subject: [CnD] To peel or not to peel Hello, All!
