Do I have to peel the oranges?

Unless you enjoy the bitter taste of the peel, I would highly suggest peeling the orange. The juicer will squeeze the juice from the peel as well and deposit it into your juice collector.

When using Ronco slow juicer you must peel certain fruits like oranges, lemons, limes, pineapple skin but also do not run the core of a pineapple through the Ronco Smart Juicer or it will clog up the release flat that ejects the pulp. The Ronco Juicer does a great job in extracting the juice from fruits and vegetables and even sweet potatoes.

I have not tried oranges. Apples I throw in whole. Sometimes I chop the apple and trim up the veggies and then I use the fibrous leftovers to thicken chili or to add a little sweet to tomato sauce ( more veggies). It's easy to clean too.

Hello Jennifer, I've used it on everything from tomatoes to kiwi fruit and vegetables. On oranges it doesn't do enough in a single pass so you will have to do it twice. Much easier to use a knife. An excellent peeler but be careful of your fingers as it is easy to cut a finger if you are a bit careles. If you are like me, you will only do that once though. Well worth owning one. I bought a few and handed them around to all my family members. Regards, Peter

Yes, but I find that this is unnecessary. Cook your fruit first for best results. I've done tomatoes and apples.

I think the skin on oranges would be too thick for the blade, and the orange is not solid enough to hold it's shape during the peeling process like an apple or potato is. I've tried to peel very ripe apples, and it wouldn't work because it's just not solid enough to stay on the metal spear.

I just tried it and it would seem logical but oranges are too soft inside to stay rigid on the fork to turn it. It just turns to mush inside and doesn't peel because the pressure of the peeler pushes the orange aside.

NO, it does not peel oranges. You have to run the machine so long to get the peel to start to come off, then they sometimes start jumping each other, getting caught in the turning, and mostly they just end up pretty beat up, and you still have more peel to remove by hand. Not a good idea for oranges.

Yes, absolutely. I've juiced 10-15 oranges and never had to stop to remove the pulp.

Yes, you just have to peel and slice the orange in quarters to get it to fit in the chute. It will take several oranges to fill the cup that comes with it but it is very tasty when you are done!

I have orange peel walls and I've had no problems. They stick and come off beautifully.

The juicer will take the entire citrus peel and all -- the questions is what do you want the juice to taste like? For lemons and limes, leave the peel on and juice the entire fruit. For oranges and grapefruit, you can juice them whole but remove the thick skin of the pee if you want a smoother and less bitter juice.

Absolutely. I suspect that the juicer would have no problem with the peels but they would probably add unwanted flavors. I regularly add peeled lemons to my juices. No problem.

You can:Peel separately - and I use it all the time for potatoes. It's not just for apples - big dinner, big parties - ten pounds of potatoes peeled QUICK! You could slice and core without peeling - but you couldn't just slice or just core - that's one mechanism. Or you can do all three. It really is the best priced gadget I have in my kitchen - bought one for my mum. Grand mum and mum-in-law. They all love it.

You sure can! That is one fantastic aspect of the thing. Granted, you need to rinse the peel out, but it makes things a lot easier.

They do not have to be peeled. But I never did finish the bag. Just couldn't warm up to the flavor. Maybe you'll have better luck.

You can detach the piece that cores and slices. This would enable you to just peel the apple.
