How To Chop Every Vegetable | Method Mastery | Epicurious

[reeeeeeeee]

This video taught me that if you don’t know how to cut a vegetable, just cut it at an angle. It works for every vegetable.

[claudialawrence]

How’s your quarantine going?: I’ve watched how to cut every fruit, how to fillet every fish, every crustacean now how to cut all vegetables. I might end up being a chef at this point

[ghost_fueled_scarecrow]

God, just *IMAGINE* the stew the crew made afterwards with all the stuff she chopped

[christopherb]

I'd like to think with all the vegetable pieces she produced in this clip she made the one stock to rule them all

[Roosturd]

Me at 8:00 PM: I’m going to bed early tonight

Me at 3:00 AM: Aw hell yeah, vegetable cutting

[nihvl]

You guys expect people to watch a 42 mins video of someone cutting vegetables?


You’re absolutely right

[thutranghoang]

This is gold for an absolute beginner like me. I love my mom but she's hard on me in the kitchen =))) So it's just great to have someone guide you through 42 mins without any nagging.

[slimybob]

Important to note about Nopales that wasnt mentioned in the video, sometimes the pads will have very small needles (smaller than what you can normally see) which can make eating uncomfortable. It is recommended that you either completley peel the pad or briefly put it over a flame to burn the needles off.

[DecoratingBeautifully]

I am not mad YouTube recommended this to me. After watching this I feel like I have graduated with a master's degree in vegetable chopping. I am also more motivated to eat veggies. Off to watch how to slice every fruit!

[racheache]

*When it’s late at night and you’re learning about how to cut vegetables you’ve never heard of for 40 minutes*

[happymushroom]

I love the presenter. She is clearly skilled and comfortable with what she's doing. Good job chef Amy!

[thessie]

This video actually made me feel hungry and keen about food. As someone with an eating disorder (trauma based) that's a damn achievement. Thank you Amy!

[TheRealKman]

I had suspicions that she wasn't human when I figured out she'd eaten all these vegetables at one point, but when she cut the onions and shallots with out shedding a tear, it confirmed my suspicions.

[itsamememario]

My brain at 3am: "You should sleep."


Me: "HOW DO I CUT A PEANUT"

[pedrourbano]

0:21 I don't know why, but the sound of fresh vegetables, gently rolling out of a container always pleased me so much.

[JessTK]

Thank you. I know how to chop the majority of these vegetables but this was actually incredibly informative on vegetables I wouldn't usually buy or cook.

[Noubei]

I like how every vegetable is greeted with that "tadaa" sound

[sandywagner]

This has been the final piece, I've watched every how to on this channel. I have surpassed Gordon Ramsay. This channel has opened my third eye. I have learned how to tame a country simply with my culinary knowledge. I am afraid of myself.

[Curiousthan]

As a left handed I found this video very helpful! Now I feel more confident while cutting my veggies

[cerberaodollam]

Shelling peas and beans for pickling was a kid activity when I was a kid. Peeling potatoes and such was for older kids who could be trusted with knives.
