its better to use mandolin d:P

[Abrin19]

But dosent the interior of the cucumber get moshy`? If you freeze the water and ice crystals form`?

[bettyskitchen]

@Abrin19 No, the cucumber does not get mushy. It is cold--not frozen. The fork "bruises" small places around the edge, so that lessens the life of the sliced cucumber, but this is for using within a day or two of making it.

next time, put a towel under the cutting board so that it won't slip or move while you cut ( or run the fork on the cucumber) :) thx for the vid, nice tip :)

[sierraonezero]

Might want to rinse it before cutting to rinse off the debris and next time try bruising it with the cucumber horizontal and resting on a damp cloth, easier angles to deal and reduced slip with the damp cloth on top of the board. Oh yes, for the dim witted: remove the cloth before cutting and use a sharp knife or mandolin.

i take the same idea of using the fork but instead of round slices i make diagonal cuts into the cucumber to make them look like flower leaves and decorate around a rose tomatoe.....10/10 on your garnish

I've never seen that trick before. I will have to use it.

Thanks

[bettyskitchen]

It's really an easy thing to do. Somehow, I was making it look hard; I think I was digging in too hard. But, you won't have any trouble with it! Thanks for your comment!
