How to Cut a Pineapple

To properly cut a pineapple, follow these steps:

  • Slice off the top and the bottom of the pineapple. Slice off the skin thinly, using a large kitchen knife.
  • Take a smaller kitchen knife and remove the eyes of the pineapple, by making two diagonal cuts either side of the row of eyes. This helps to minimize waste.
  • Remove the core – either by slicing the pineapple into rounds and cutting out the core using a round cookie cutter, or by cutting the pineapple into quarters lengthways and slicing out the core.

要将胡萝卜切丝,请按照下列步骤操作:

  • 将胡萝卜的一侧切开,形成一个平面,这样可以使操作时更加稳定,切割更加精确。
  • 将未握刀的手的手指放入指套中。用这只手的指关节抵住刀刃,这样可以帮助你有控制地快速切割,而又不会切到手指!
  • 将胡萝卜切成条状,使用轻微斩切的动作,刀的活动方向始终从刀头到刀尾。
  • 通过把刀拉向身体方向的动作将切好的胡萝卜宽条纵向切成细丝。刀头应朝下,且拉动时刀柄应该稍微抬起。
