How To Cut A Pepper
This may seem really silly to some but I finally found the perfect, less mess way to cut a pepper. Landon eats them A LOT. I have to make sure he doesn’t try and bite them in the store. So ever wonder how to clean it without all the seeds everywhere and how to make those pretty rings? You are in luck.
1. Look at your beautiful pepper. Make sure there are no toddler bite marks.
2. Cut off the top. Right through the stem.
3. Sit that pepper up.
4. Cut off the bottom like the top. Only take a little. Just enough to get the bumpy part flatter.
5. In a circular motion, cut around in the inside and pull out the guts.
6. Cut into rings. VOILA. You can use the top and bottom cuts for grilling or flavor (rather than presentation).
Now you can move on with your day. I know you are THRILLED. 🙂
I use an apple corer and then just dump the seeds in the trash.
Now see my corer would slice it too…but I want the rings. Good tip though!
Somewhere around the time when we got married, my wife and I ended up with a corer without the slicing rings. I think it came in one of the TFAL sets. But it’s been handy ever since ;).
