I decided to take last week off after a busy Thanksgiving weekend, but I am back at it again.
For this week’s Technical Tuesday video, I decided to go back to basics, and demonstrate how to properly and more importantly safely dice a carrot.
Yes, its easy to hack a carrot into a bunch of pieces, but there is something very satisfying about taking the time to properly dice vegetables, especially when making something like a soup.
And it makes a difference to how it cooks. When the pieces of vegetables are different sizes, they cook at different rates, and will have different textures. Taking the time to cut nice dice will mean that your vegetables all have a consistent texture.
Hi there. I’m wondering if you ever make your own cheese? I know that is more complicated than chopping and dicing vegetables, but I would love a good recipe to try it out for the first time.
hi Laura, I have made some simple cheeses before, and will certainly add it to the list of videos to make.
