Cut the pineapple is not always easy, it is uneven surface that prevents to do it. I told him how to cut a pineapple, so it looked nice on the holiday table, and it was convenient to eat.
First, like in the header to indicate "How to cut a pineapple," but then I realized that there are many ways to cut, so to decide right or wrong, only to you.
This method I liked the fact that it looks nice when applying. I have a small pineapple, as good was just like that. While choosing, I remember a few principles you should pay attention to buy a really ripe pineapple. I'll tell you about them in the end.
How to cut a pineapple
Do I need to wash the pineapple? In fact, a particular need for this, we're cut off from it the entire crust. But if it is clear that the pineapple is dirty, then rinse under running water with the tops.
First, cut off the tops, almost at the very root. Then just doing a ass.
By the way, at the tops of pineapple has its own name, I would never have guessed that she is called sultan. Any idea why?
Now cut off the rind on the sides. Cut off a thin layer to remain "dents". They cut out later.
After this cut off the rind, which has remained. Since pineapple is standing on its base, it is cut off parallel to the table.
Diagonally cut "dents", so to get a beautiful pineapple pattern (see. a photo). "Dents" go deep into the fetus of about 1-1.5 cm.
Cut into quarters and cut out the inside of the solid. I laid out quarters so that then they can be easily assembled into a "whole" pineapple. Then you must either remember or need a large board that is convenient to expand slices and then do not move.
Each a quarter of pineapple cut into pieces. I gather together and pushed onto the skewers.
Docking quarters and put on the base, you can immediately put on a dish to feed. I remove the skewers and put on top of the tops, that is, the Sultan.
This pineapple will be a great decoration New Year's table. The main thing that slices of pineapple were well cut, so they do not catch on one another. Otherwise, the whole composition is easy to fall apart. As I promised at the beginning, telling how I choose pineapple.
How to choose a ripe pineapple in the store:
- Pineapple should be easily perceptible aroma. If the smell is sharp - pineapple is already spoiled.
- At the touch of the fruit should be slightly soft. If it is hard, so it is not yet ripe.
- Sultan in pineapple (tops) should be slightly twisted relative to the base.
