Three main types
- Hamlin – juicing oranges, but lots of seeds
- Naval – easy to peel and few seeds
- Sour or Seville – high in pectin and good for marmalade
To zest an orange, put your microplane on the table, and draw the orange across the plane, rather than dragging the plane across the orange.
If you need larger pieces or orange zest, use a peeler, then scrape off the pith using a paring knife.
