Instruction manual
1
The easiest way is to divide it into slices. Peel the orange from the peel, remove the white films and disassemble the fruit into slices. They are clearly distinguished and well separated. Arbitrarily lay them on a plate. But peel and chop the orange just before serving. Otherwise, a lot of juice will flow out, and the upper layers will dry out and wind up. Such a fruit will lose vitamins, will be tasteless and unaesthetic.

Often an orange is served sliced. According to the rules, they should be skinless. To make it easier to remove the skin, first with a wide sharp knife, cut the orange across into equal parts. After that, remove the peel. If you are preparing an orange for serving in this way, it is advisable to remove the seeds. But if you need orange circles to decorate a pie or salad, then be sure to remove the seeds, because they give bitterness.

However, you can leave the peel on the fruit and cut the rings in half. This method of serving orange is especially loved by children, because the pulp is easily separated from the peel, but it is interesting to eat it.

If you leave the peel on an orange cut into circles or semicircles, then you can give it an interesting appearance. To do this, take a whole orange and make not very deep cuts on it. They should go along, from the ponytail down, like meridians on the globe. The distance between the strips can be arbitrary, but usually it is about 0.5 cm. Now, carefully peel the peel from the orange through one strip. Cut the orange into mugs. Each of them will look like a part from a clockwork, as if with notches.

If you are cutting an orange for a cocktail, then divide it not across, but along. Cut off the tops, and break each half into thin slices.
