[shamelesangel]

the greeting on my grandma's phone says," Leave a message you big fat rutabaga." XD!!!

[attieboy67]

You rock, Anita! Thanks!

[WASIV]

thanks for making this video. you're a nice lady. I'm making myself a rutabaga tonight ;)

[ezypzylemonsqzyy]

youre so cute!

[glory2gzus]

Thanks for sharing this video!! I just bought some rutabagas for 2 different recipes and I have never cooked them before!! So this video was quite helpful and very informative as well. Thanks. :-)

Thanks for the tip! However, I was able to peel mine easily with a vegetable peeler, even raw.

Cant believe how you just tortured that in the microwave. Buy the big ones, cut it into 1cm slices straight through. And dont just remove the outer skin, peel another 5 mm's into it because the outer meat of it is really not edible. Cut the slices into squares - best snack ever

Thank you for sharing about these great vegetables! I only started eating them recently, and have found them to be quite versatile as well as healthy. I will try the microwave to make them easier to peel the next time I make them, I've been using a flat cheese slicer but it is still rather hard to do - appreciate that tip! Will go look at more of your videos now, glad I "found" you :).

[artglue2]

I love your vids! Thank you!

- It's not a Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner - if you don't have Rutabaga on the table ;)

i dont like microwaving my food tho! 

[bob70388]

bitch, i know how to cook by my own and i didnt learn from my parents.

[callerredblack]

@bob70388 You don't need to call her a bitch. She's just trying to show other people who don't know how to cook how to prepare a rutabaga.

[SEAhris]

@bob70388 You didn't learn respect from your parents either did you? You should have paid closer attention to what they had to teach you.

thanks - i was sad from the inability to get a good old fashioned pasty like from the upper peninsula of Mi and got me a rutabaga, which is lacking in the pastys found in stores

[ttoonn1]

i have some in my garden this year and we are going to try them for the first time. Thanks for the info. Rick Nashville TN

I peel mine with a vegetable peeler. It works perfectly.

[aysjah1]

@wickedlady4180 I was thinking the same thing while watching, "why not use a vegetable peeler?"

[yourdowg]

invest in a chef knife. life would be easier.

[Anitasa2z]

@yourdowg Your correct I should get a chef knife - But I was trying to show the viewers how to prepare the rutabaga as safely as possible, because I know most people do not have a chef's knife available or it needs sharpening. Thank you for your comment.

[amk949fam]

omg thank you so much. I didn't even know where to begin but now I know. Thanks again. You are the"Rutabaga Guru!"

[Anitasa2z]

@amk949fam Thank you for the Title! I am just so thrilled that you are willing to try this important, healthy, and inexpensive vegetable.

[santatigerclaus]

@Anitasa2z i guess i screwed up- Meijers charged me $1.79 for a large pithy one- live and learn

[wpc1013]

That actually isn't raw, the darker color indicates it's at least partially cooked. You're right that a knife is not a good tool for peeling them. I use an OXO vegetable peeler, it cuts through the skin like butter. It's not dangerous at all!

[jedrey07]

Great Video Anita! Thanks for pointing out the nutritional facts and showing what to look for when buying rut's from the store. I disagree with you on the size limit before rut's get woody. I would go to a 5 inch diameter rut being the largest size before the centre gets a little tough.

[Wildwoodfl]

thankyou for taking time to share this fact,I really hated peeling them and yes,it is dangerous but not anymore!

[Anitasa2z]

@Wildwoodfl Oh, I am so glad it helped! Peeling them was the most dangerous part. But I'm glad you do it in the microwave first--no reason not to eat them now. Thank you.

Absolutely perfect video!
