Just pulled up the video to watch this one and the onion one, again! Thanks Charlie!

Chef, I to struggled with this dilemma I had a way but I like yours better thanks

[@BruceFarrar-ir1zy]

I'm gonna have to try this method to see if it is better than mine. For me, I like to get rid of the pith (white membrane) that runs the length. I use a wood working knife called a spoon knife that is J shaped. Maybe I am being too fussy about prepping the peppers.

Good job

I just watched his video before clicking here 😂

i slice around the grooves then peel it off the core. not sure if it matters, i mean how much time is it really saving?

[@thedistinguished5255]

Not enough views, great method!

[@thedistinguished5255]

I really feel like google is listening cause i dont watch cooking videos only baking ones, but just now i was telling my mom i want to learn how to cook😆

What chefs knife are you using? I like it! Thanks

[@BecomingaCook]

Hi. In this video, I'm using a Shun Premier 8 inch. The good is that it's very sharp. The bad is that it's a little bit delicate. I broke the point a month or two after I bought it and had to have it reground. And Shun recommends sending it to them to be sharpened, which they do for free, but the knife owner pays shipping both ways.
My biggest complaints with the knife, besides its not being rugged, are that the spine of the knife is thin, so it's hard to lean on it heavily for difficult work, and it has no bolster, so it's easy to cut yourself on the heel of the knife. I often keep a knife in my hand instead of setting it down while working, like when peeling garlic.
I also own chef's knives by Henckels, Wustof, Mercer, and Imarku. I'm still looking for the holy grail of knives.

Thanks for this - I use peppers often so will be a big help!
Bit of advice for you if want to grow channel it’s always good idea to watch each video before posting them - this one has a few flash frames

[@BecomingaCook]

Thank you. Yes, this was when we first started making videos and had no experience. We did (and do) watch them before we post them, but we didn't know how to fix the problems. We're still working on that. And still learning.

I feel like we caught this guy as he was leaving for round of golf with the fellas

[@seikibrian8641]

No, it's not a Gordon Ramsay thing. I went to a culinary school in 1987 and was taught this method then. Here's another RUclips video, from 2014, showing a similar technique: ruclips.net/video/UfE88qEM_F4/видео.html
And here's one from 2010 showing the same method, which is the standard method most professional cooks are taught: ruclips.net/video/viaKd1V35-4/видео.html
Here is Gordon Ramsay demonstrating a different way, circa 2009: ruclips.net/video/o28yI1XTQQU/видео.html

[@BecomingaCook]

Thank you. That's good to know. Because I learned on the job and didn't go to culinary school, there are holes in my game. This was one of them. But now I know.
Years ago I tried the other way Ramsey showed in that video, but it works well only with bell peppers of a certain shape. And I didn't like throwing away the top of the pepper.

Hahaha !!!

Ohgod 🤦‍♂️

[@matthewhuszarik4173]

Far to complex. Just cut the core out and then split it in half. Far easier, simpler, and less waste.

[@stanb2259]

WTF, 2 minutes of dang commercials. I won't even watch your video even if it is a good video!!!

[@rspencerttc]

I find the garbage disposal method is best 🤮

[@BecomingaCook]

😄

Way too much talk
