More Knife Skills

So, it's taken me almost two weeks to figure out the blog.spot is no longer uploading videos through Google, now they're through YouTube. This is why it's taken me SO long to post this entry. Sorry it's so big - I now have to learn YouTube. Yes, I know, I'm way behind on the times!


We recently learned some new knife skills in our cooking class. We've learned to section citrus, flower a green onion (for a garnish), flute a mushroom and tourner a potato (make it look like a football). I'm going to show you how to section citrus and flower a green onion in this video. Hopefully a future installment will show you the other two skills (I'm still practicing :-) ).




Here are some photos of the green onion:

Slice the onion first (see video) and then place it in cold water.

After 1/2 hour to 1 hour of soaking in ice cold water, look at the end result!
