- If you want more orange slices, make three cuts instead of two. Note, however, that they will be thinner.
Method 2 of 3: Cut into rings
1 Place the orange on a cutting board so that the sides of the fruit - top and bottom - do not touch the board. Use your fingers to grip the orange so that it fits snugly against the cutting board and stays in place.
2 Cut off the top and bottom of the orange with a sharp knife. You need to cut off enough peel so that the flesh of the fruit is visible.
3 Cut off the first ring of the orange. Place the knife blade on top of the orange peel 0.6 cm from the edge and make a vertical cut until the knife touches the cutting board. The first orange ring should fall onto the cutting board.
4 Keep slicing the orange until you get to the opposite end. Cut the orange into thin rings of equal thickness.
- Do not press down on the knife too hard when cutting the orange so that the sliced rings do not lose their shape.
Method 3 of 3: Dicing
1 Use a sharp paring knife to cut off the top and bottom of the orange. You need to cut off enough peel so that the flesh of the fruit is visible.
2 Place the orange on a cutting board with one edge against the board and the other with the flesh facing up.
3 Use a vegetable peeler to slice off the rind. Place the fruit on a cutting board and carefully cut the rind in a circle with a sharp knife, taking care to grab as little of the pulp as possible. Trim the peel off until completely removed from the orange.
4 Take a peeled orange in one hand and hold it over a bowl. Take the knife in your other hand.
5 Cut the orange into cubes using the white lines of the fruit (membranes). These white lines are located inside the fruit. Due to the presence of membranes, each lobule is separated from each other.
6 Remove the membrane and take out the pulp. Also, remove all seeds with a knife.
Tips
- Use a sharp knife to speed up and facilitate the slicing process.
