Cutting a pineapple can be a delicate process, but with the right techniques, you can achieve perfect slices every time. One often-overlooked tip is to cut the pineapple at an angle. By doing so, you distribute the pressure more evenly across the fruit, reducing the likelihood of accidents and injuries. This method also helps to minimize the amount of juice that's released, making it easier to handle the pineapple once it's cut. Start by standing the pineapple upright on its stem side down, then carefully make parallel cuts along the top surface, following a gentle downward angle. This will help you maintain control and avoid applying too much pressure, which can cause the fruit to slip or the knife to slip out of your hand. To finish cutting the pineapple into desired pieces, simply slice downwards in straight lines, using a gentle sawing motion. By cutting at an angle, you'll be able to cut through even the toughest pineapple chunks with ease and precision. Plus, this technique helps prevent juice from dripping all over your hands or countertop, making cleanup a breeze.
