    • @gvrua2845
      @gvrua2845 6 лет назад +4

      James M, you actually don't have to always remove fibers if celery is cut across them thinly, or is intended for rather long cooking. And be cautious about leaves - they can sometimes be on a bitter side, taste them before using.

    • @amyrivers4093
      @amyrivers4093 3 года назад +1

      I've always removed them since over the years I've had many operations to cut out all but one metre of my intestine (I have a very active and fierce case of Crohns disease) so digestion is so hard. I love fruit and vegetables so I have to remove grape skins, tomato skins etc as best I can as it's so painful.

    • @rickross5421
      @rickross5421 2 года назад

      For eating it raw actually it is easier when fibers are removed, that is the only one case I find to get it removed since in the other recipes I only braise them or I mix them for soups

    I just buy a bunch of celery, cut the bottom off the stalks leaving leaves on, wash it real good, and throw it in a juicer with fresh parsley and cilantro leaves for some fresh delicious juice. Sometimes, to make it sweeter, I'll take the celery juice and a cored apple, and blend them together in a single serving blender. It only takes 5 minutes, not 13.5 minutes

    @BilSchimchelevitz 6 лет назад +7

    why do you peel the bottom part as you throw them anyway? and even more when you peel that part you might cut some strings and they will give you even more trouble to remove, that's my first thought

      Bill Schim because it's French cooking. It's a method. He's showing you a method. Chew on dirty celery if that's what you want to do, but if you want to end up with lovely, tender, perfectly cut celery, follow his method.

      It's a fucking THIRTEEN MINUTE video on preparing celery, which is so simple that you could show it in less than one minute. The first time i cooked with celery I did exactly what he does in the video because the "technique" is so obvious. I didn't downvote but this video is unnecessarily long and detailed for such a simple task.

    • @radardimaria2261

    This is rubbish, the nicest French food is it's peasant cooking. Are you really telling me that poor French people did this crap in the past? Same as classic Italian cooking, the skill is in it's poor roots. People used everything, strings n all. I cook with celery all the time - every week, I can't remember the last time I found a string.

      Not really, classique cuisine is the base of all restaurants and hotels service from the 19th century, it's not just about peasant cooking. It's about technique, and it's been that way for a long time and the reason why service in restaurants is so fast and perfect.
