It is necessary
- -orange;
- -knife.
Instructions
Step 1
The easiest way is to cut it into slices. Peel the orange peel, remove the white films and disassemble the fruit into slices. They are clearly defined and well separated. Arrange them on a plate at random. But peel and slice 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.
Step 2
The orange is often served cut into circles. According to the rules, they must be peeled. To make it easier to peel off the skin, first use a wide, sharp knife to cut the orange across into equal parts. After that, already 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.
Step 3
However, you can leave the skin on the fruit and cut the rings in half. This way of serving an orange is especially loved by children, because the pulp easily separates from the rind, but it is interesting to eat it away.
Step 4
If you leave the rind on an orange cut into circles or half circles, you can give it an interesting look. To do this, take a whole orange and make not very deep cuts on it. They should go along, from the tail down, like the meridians on a globe. The distance between the strips can be arbitrary, but usually it is made about 0.5 cm. Now carefully remove the peel from the orange through one strip. Cut the orange into circles. Each of them will look like a piece from a clockwork, as if with notches.
Step 5
If you cut an orange for a cocktail, then divide it not across, but along. Cut off the tops, and break each half into thin slices.
