Actually it's not a mango peeler, it's a mango "splitter", doesn't peel
at all. It's totally useless, doesn't do anything can't be done with
a knife.

On second glance it looks like something a gynocologist could use.

Yeah... and I actually prefer to peel the Mango BEFORE I split the fruit
off of the seed! It's one heck of a lot easier to peel a whole one, then
slice it off the seed into sections.

That produces butchered mango.

I prefer not to peel...

How to cube a fresh mango

Without peeling, cut the fruit from the cheeks, score flesh into
squares about 1/2- to 3/4-inch in size, cutting to, but not through,
skin.
Gently push the mango cheek inside out, pushing fruit cubes up and
apart.
Cut chunks from the skin to serve.

Not if you know how to wield a good, sharp paring knife. ;-)

I've seen that method on Martha Stewart.
Looks like a PITA. And a lot of mango gets wasted sticking to the peel.

My method is easier and yields nice long slices.

Peel mango with a nice SHARP paring knife,
cut down the sides on either side of the seed as close as you can.
Lay the slabs of mango fruit on their sides, slice into thin slices or
wedges.

Get all messy eating the leftover mango directly off the seed with your
teeth. ;-d

Both of youse two have forgotten the most important steps prior to
either cutting or peeling the mango:

1) remove all your clothing
2) sit in the kitchen

It's not a pretty sight, but it's the only way.

I am not sure of the type we used to use in Mexico to eat like a lollypop on a
mango fork. IIRC a mango can be easily pealed from one direction and not the
other. I think the way the fibers grow (down from the stem side) was the way to
lose almost none of the flesh. They used to make 4 slits in the skin and then
pull from the stem side down to the tip.

I'll have to buy a few and try it.

Be sure to report back!

No fruit more delicious than a good ripe Mango, and they are 3 / $1.00
here in season so very affordable.

By Jove, I believe this might be what the foreign-speaking person must've
been describing to me when I bought the Manilla mangoes (posted previously)
about the stringy-type fibers. Maybe she was trying to say that they were
different, as you are saying above.
Manilla is from the Philippines, and is yellow-skinned and kidney-shaped.
Manila Super is a supreme "carabaou" mango that is yellow outside and
inside. It has a spicy aroma and short fibers attached to the pit.

I've bought these three times now. I always peel & slice or cube mangos the
same way (not like I do avocados): peel, slice on either side of seed, then
slice again and/or cube; then I stand over the sink slobbering/eating the
rest.

When you have a better way of peeling and saving more of the flesh, I'll be
glad to know.
Thanks,
Dee Dee

They can be that or more here as well, but out of season... :-)
Kinda like Corn on the cob. Those can be 2 or 3 / $1.00 out of season
but as cheap as 10 / $1.00 IN season.

Right now there are some hyooge beautiful ears 3 / $1.00. I buy them for
my cockatoo.

I'm not sure what mangos are running right now. I'm low carbing so no
fruit. <sigh> Freya gets picky so I might have to go and see about
mangos. Fresh fruits and veggies are very good for parrots!
