Sometimes this comes up in a drink recipe:
FLAMING AN ORANGE PEEL
The fruit should be firm and
fresh to insure there is enough oil present in the skin. To flame the oil, hold
a lit match in one hand, and pick up the twist in the other very carefully like
holding an egg shell, if you squeeze the twist prematurely the oil will be
expelled. Hold the twist by the side not the ends, between thumb and forefinger,
skin side down, about four inches above the drink. Don't squeeze or you'll lose
all the oil before you flame. Hold the match between the drink and the twist,
closer to the twist. Snap the twist sharply, propelling the oil through the lit
match and onto the surface of the drink. (Be sure to hold twist far enough from
the drink to avoid getting a smoky film on the glass.)
