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

Instructions
Step 1
Remember to wash the fruit, even if the skin looks clean. Oranges were stored somewhere, somehow transported, so anything can be on the surface, including bacteria that cause dangerous intestinal diseases. It is also recommended to wash your hands as usual before eating.
Step 2
Consider if you need to peel the orange at all. If you are going to serve it on the festive table along with other fruits, you do not need to peel the skin. To avoid embarrassing guests, cut the fruit into 4 slices. If the oranges are very large, you can cut each slice into 2 more pieces.
Step 3
There are two ways to peel an orange. The most common is comfortable, but not very pretty. Cut off 2 circles at the top and bottom. Make 2 longitudinal cuts on the sides. Try to cut through the peel completely, but not touch the actual fruit. Pry a corner near one of the incisions. The rind is usually easy to peel off. Do the same with the second piece.
Step 4
You can also peel an orange to make a beautiful flower. Determine where the fruit's bottom is. Step back a little up 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 head down the other side. At the bottom, the incision begins at some distance from the peduncle. It is necessary to finish it at the same distance. Mark the midpoints of the "hemispheres" and make the same cut through them. Divide each slice in half. Cut 2 more "meridians".
Step 5
Pry the top of the petal with a knife and gently peel back a piece of the peel. Do the same with everyone else. You ended up with something like a water lily, the middle of which is an orange, and the petals are the peel.
