HOW TO CUT INTO ORANGE SLICES:

2. Cut off the top and bottom of the orange.
3. Then place the orange on one side so that the orange is flat on the cutting board.

HOW TO CUT an ORANGE INTO SEGMENTS:

1. Thoroughly wash your oranges.
2. Use an orange peeler to score along the skin of the oranges.
3. I generally pull the peeler around the orange 3-4 times.
4. If you do not have an orange peeler, you can use a knife and gently just place the knife into the orange peel to score the peel so you can get your fingers under the peel but do not cut all the way through the orange.
5. Then use your fingers to pull the peel away from the orange and peel off any excess white pieces.
6. Then use your fingers to gently pull the orange apart and divide it into the segments.
7. Clean off any excess pith still on the orange segments. Then then orange is ready to enjoy!
