Thanks for the tip on putting the Rutabakka in microwave for five minutes. Easy peel. Had to let it cool a few minutes.👍

I think it's nice how we can all talk about Rutabaga's like this.

Lol!

Yes, that’s exactly how I do it! When your ready to cut it don’t slice it down the middle because that is very difficult. Just slice 1/2 or 3/4 inch at a time from the base upward after a bit turn it upside down and do the same thing. When you have the big part in the middle left, just slice it sideways. You avoid that huge hard to get through middle this way!

I discovered your videos yesterday and they were so helpful - thank you and I hope you record more. You look very happy and healthy! -Brenda (from Sammamish, WA)

Nancy Delle Femine, thank you, Nancy! I feel determined. All my meals are planned for tomorrow, which will be day 1! 😊

Very helpful, thank you!!!

Awesome & It worked! Thank you. Quick & Easy.

Beautiful! I love rutabaga but buy it seldom because I hate peeling them. I’ll definitely give this a try!

Love the video and I’m definitely buying the knife since Rutabagas are so hard to slice. Great video and suggestions.

where did you find the knife? I want one also.

Thanks Nancy. I bought one and had no idea what to do with it.

Thank you! This made it so easy to peel.

Than You so much!! Very helpful.

I love rutabagas. My mother used to fix them about every two weeks. I’m 71 years old. My mother has been gone since 2008. I haven’t had it since then. When I was about 20 years old my mother asked me to help her with the rutabaga. So I tried to cut a Rutabeggar with a butcher knife not a paring knife it slipped and hit my wrist cut my wrist not deep. But since then I have referred to it as the suicide vegetable am I will not touch it. So I’m really looking I really appreciate your help with this because I miss rutabaga

Thank you for sharing your story! It's very funny that you call rutabaga the "suicide vegetable" because of your injury! :) It does take the dangerous combination of strength while using a sharp knife! I hope you can figure a way to get them peeled and cut up because they are a tasty root vegetable!

Great idea for peeling, rutabagas are notoriously hard and very dense vegetables.

Finally, an easy way to cut a rutabaga THANK YOU SOOO MUCH !!!!

To prevent nicking my fingers while holding rutabaga, I used a cutting glove I bought at Bed Bath & Beyond. This type of peeler worked great for peeling it.

Thank you!!!

I absolutely love rutabagas but I would not say they have a delicate taste.

Never thought of peeling it around the sides!

There's a guy on KZread that using a spade bit just Jabs in that sucker and Anna holds the fever and rotates takes no time at all and no work instant success

ever try putting it over stove and melt the wax - but your way looks really good

Peeling is not the problem, cutting/slicing is.
