Hilah Cooking is a short-form, educational web series focused on making cooking FUN! We release two episodes every week. Our focus is on simple, low-cost recipes with a Texas flair. Everything is made from scratch, people! You will not see any packets of taco seasoning mix or gravy powder up in here. If you are going to learn how to cook, you are going to learn it for real! But I promise it will be fun and easy.

The best thing to do just after peeling and coring it is to wash the whole thing down with course salt. It brings out the sweetness and allows the pineapple to be extra juicy!

[hilahcooking]

Thanks! I've never tried that.

My dog, Oliver, gets the core. He loves it. I just make sure he is somewhere that it won't be a huge mess.

Oh I'll see if Mr. Banjo likes it. He likes apples and celery. Daisy, not so much into the fruits and veg. ;)

I am totally going to try growing a pineapple. I had no idea! I have heard that you should lay pineapples down when they are ripening so the juices distribute more evenly... though they look cooler on your counter sitting up ;) Thanks, Hilah! xo

[hilahcooking]

I've never heard that but I have one now I can try it with! xo

A neat trick I learned years ago from my Hawaiian friend. Is if you soak your whole fresh pineapple in 2% milk overnight. The next morning you can peel the skin off just like a banana easily with just two fingers. No cutting necessary! ---

- O and BTW Hilah, you're right about the green tops growing another pineapple. I haven't bought a pineapple at the grocery store in about 7 years. Kitchen-grown pineapples just always taste sweeter to me than the farm-raised ones.

Kinda random but that is a good hairstyle for you.

Hi Hilah! Thanks for the instructions :D I really don't know if the first part of this is true but my mum rubs salt on the pineapple after she skins it so it doesn't 'sting' our lips as much BUTTTT rubbing a little salt defo makes the pineapple taste sweeter ! :D thanks again Hilah!

I would like see your pineapple

[Coffeeforevah]

Cut less peel off use a tomato shark to remove the eyes, cut the skin deeper I use a peeler like someone said before to dig the eyes out

[jadorecx]

There is a way to cut those holes out. You hold it and slice diagonally

[JUGGALECTRO Last]

I remember I use to be scared of pineapples whn I was a kid. I thought the prickly part would hurt me.
