This is just a survey, I peel it outward even i use knife or peelers. I feel much comfortable doing it that way. I saw some people doing it inward, and i feel awkward watching them specially when they use knife, but i can see that they are also comfortable by doing it so. How about you guys?

I peel outward, it's safer and I never use a knife but a peeler.

Inward when I amusing a knife for more control, but outward when using a peeler.

outward, but i do know there's a ''folk belief' that outward means 'spendthrift,' while inward means 'thrifty.' have you heard of that? i always use a peeler. i'm a little clumsy and might cut myself if i used a knife. i'm also amazed at those who can open cans using a knife.

@delyaj30 sometimes i do it inward, too, but on certain weird or stubborns spots only, like finishing touches

@hereandthere yes, there are stubborn spots that needs to remove and we do it either inward or outward

I peel inwards - I find it awkward doing it the other way.

I peel a fruit inward if I'm using a peeler, but, inward if a knife. I fear cutting myself once I use a knife & do it inward. Better be safe than sorry, no po?
