Thoroughly wash and rinse the pineapple under cold running tap water.
Take out a sharp kitchen knife, and remove the skin and hard inner core from the pineapple. Moving forward, next you will need to cut your pineapple into long wedges that can be fed into your juicer.
Finally wash and rinse both oranges, then peel them both.
