Oranges are pleasing to the eye and taste wonderful. But cleaning them is not very pleasant. The thick peel does not want to be removed. In the end, the orange manages to peel, but it takes a lot of effort. And it seems he is far from being so tasty. In addition, essential oils spray in different directions, and this can also be extremely unpleasant. But an orange can be peeled beautifully and almost effortlessly.

Instruction manual
1
Remember to wash the fruit even if the peel seems clean. Oranges were stored somewhere, somehow transported, so anything can be on the surface, including bacteria that cause dangerous intestinal diseases. Hands are also recommended to be washed, as usual, before meals.
2
Think about whether to peel an orange at all. If you are going to serve it on the festive table along with other fruits, peeling is not necessary. To prevent guests from getting into an awkward position, cut the fruit into 4 slices. If the oranges are very large, you can cut each slice into 2 more parts.
3
There are two ways to peel an orange. The most common is convenient, but not very beautiful. Cut 2 circles on top and bottom. Make 2 longitudinal cuts on the sides. Try to cut through the peel completely, but not affect the fetus itself. Pry a corner near one of the cuts. The peel usually comes off easily. Do the same with the second piece.
4
You can peel an orange and make a beautiful flower. Determine where the fetus has a bottom. Step back a little from where the stalk was. If you imagine an orange in the form of a globe, then the knife will go from the "south pole" to the "north", cross it and go down the other side. Below the incision begins at a certain distance from the stem. At the same distance it is necessary to finish it. Mark the midpoints of the hemispheres and draw the exact same cut through them. Divide each slice in half. Cut 2 more meridians.
5
Pry the top of the petal with a knife and carefully bend a piece of the peel. Do the same with everyone else. You got something like a water lily, the middle of which is an orange, and the petals are peel.
note
To cut the peel with a flower, you need a very sharp knife.
For fruit salad, you need to not only peel the peel, but also remove the white film.
