Do You Peel Your Vegetables?

[Barriehie]

So, do you and if so which ones and does it depend on what you're ending up with?

I'll take the paper off onions, sometimes peel eggplant/aubergine, and occasionally run a peeler across beetroot. I'll peel potatoes for mash if making for someone else, but not me, and carrots if for someone else.

Carrots get peeled for salads, but not for cooking.
Soft skinned potatoes (red, yukon gold) get mashed as is, but russets get peeled for mash.

 

[TastyReuben]

Generally speaking, yes.

 

[badjak]

Depends on how the skin looks.
Onion & garlic get peeled (obviously)
Potatoes, carrots, beetroot occassionally
Leek gets dodgy bits removed but I do use white and green bits.
Tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, aubergine don't get peeled
Fruit only gets peeled if is is supposed to, banana, orange, pineapple

Onions get peeled always.
Potatoes get peeled most of time, but not always. Depends on use.
Carrots get peeled, except when just being used for stock, just washed then.
Beets always peeled.
Leeks, any yucky outer leaves are removed.
Eggplant gets stripe peeled or removed entirely depending on use, don't like texture.
Cucumbers are peeled if Persian and have wax on skin. Hothouse Cucumbers with their thin skin don't.
