I would have given this video a thumbs down, but I only lost two fingers doing it this way! Thanks!

Cooking Tips : How to Slice Your Hand In Two

Cool

As a professional in the field, this is NOT the safe way to prepare a butternut squash at all! The way she is hacking through that is dangerous especially without chef grade tools. What you ACTUALLY want to do is slice the ENDS of the squash off first so that it doesnt roll across the cutting board at all. Stand it up with the base at the bottom and slice it in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds. Cut in half across the other way for four manageable pieces and proceed to either remove the skin with a knife or a peeler and then cut into what shape/size you are looking for. The fact that this has as many views as it does is scary. Its misinformation.

When I saw her turn around the butternut with the edge facing her... and then applying leverage on the knife like that... Brrrr, that gave me chills... It's not a bad video but all very bad advices.

Use the knife. I wonder what the Bush people do? 😄 Today imbeciles need the UN telling them how to wipe their asses. I wonder what humans did before the printing press and manuals. I suppose if she cut herself she learn. Haha We have made it this many millennia.

I found it curious that people can make anything unsafe it worked great for me no problems no danger just finished❤

I just cut off each end, stand the squash on end on a cutting board, push down with the knife from the top down towards the cutting board... simple and you are never cutting towards yourself...

Thanks for the lesson!

Thank you for sharing I actually tried it today. Love your sister in Christ.😀

I like house safely you handle that butternut squash I always scare everybody when I try to cut my not on purpose I really like the technique that you just showed us thank you so much now I won't scare my family to death

Very helpful tips! Thanks!

I dunno how many of you tried to cut a butternut squash before, but the regular way took me like a good 2-3 minutes. The skin of the squash is pretty tough, you can't just cut through it. Just because it looks dangerous, it doesn't mean she doesn't have perfect control over the situation. In Hungary, bread rolls are very popular and I always cut them in half towards my palm and never have I cut myself with the knife. You just have to pay attention, that's it.

great video! thank you x

People in the comments aren't comfortable using a nice I guess. I think this was helpful and to the point. Thanks.

CRINGE!!!! that is not how you cut with a knife!!!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

I bake it whole. It’s the safest, easiest way to cook it. Prick with a fork and bake. Perfect!!!

If you are baking your squash, this is the best way to cut it. Cutting straight end from end is nearly impossible, and by doing so, you risk it sliding off and possibly ending up stabbing yourself. As you can see, it's very unstable to work with due to it's shape. Also, cutting it this way, the knife acts as leverage and helps to make it open with ease. I can't comment on the peeler method, because I haven't tried it, as I bake the squash to help maintain it's nutrients. Happy Thanksgiving All!

Wow 10 years ago & this comment hasn’t aged a bit, thank you

Thank you! It sure is easy when you know how. Now I'm going to lock myself in the kitchen.

Brava! Thank you.

So how long do you cook it at what temp??

Thanks. Very helpful.

Thanks for all of your videos, definitely helping me learn my way around the more obscure cooking techniques!

thanks for that, good information

it worked for me :)..the cutting style ...but why pil the skin when it is so tasty when it is roasted ?...i even like the seeds roasted alone with some salt ;)

Nice. Thanks. I have some of these and idk what to do.

Not sure why you got all those dislikes; but this was very helpful!

Thanks

OMG... I better do it on my own.

Yeah, ok, she sliced the knife the wrong way (like I've done myself a dozen times), but anybody can see that, and this was very helpful.

thought the peel looked relatively strong but okay i'll try a vegetable peeler

Good thing that I read the comments and didn't cut my squash like she said. I don't mean to be critical but I was looking for a tip to slice up the largest butternut squash I've ever seen. I have common sense but I'm getting shaky hands lately. Taking the ends off sounds better to me. Oh well I guess, but ... Hmmm. Not trying to be mean dear but you may want to fix your video a little. Only because it could prevent a person of old age that hurts themselves. Thank-you

Can I boil it?

This is NOT a wrong way to cut a squash, but it's also not the safest. You just have to be careful. If you're afraid of hurting yourself, maybe you should leave the cooking to someone else. That being said, peeling it first is much easier.

As I saw how she cuts this, I knew this was the wrong video I was looking for... pathetic, "cookingguide"

dangerous trick

I say, Potato peeler from the get go. Use Knife only after peeled, and have flattened one side of squash with peeler. Then squash can safely be sliced, cubed, or whatever for cooking.... My two cents.

WE NEED GORDON RAMSAY

I prepared butternut squash once in my life, and I'm sure I didn't cut it like this. Too dangerous.

Season butternut squash

They should put a lil b song in the back ground... #Based !

Okay so I'm about to cut my second butternut squash EVER which is clearly one more than this woman managed, here's my tip- read the previous comments for actual safe and useful advice. If by any chance you know this woman- please, every opportunity buy her another butternut squash or scatter her garden with hundreds of their seeds. Thanks.

@harunkaygan good point, i thought she was gonna give us a good lesson with a nice face but no. her mistake made her vid #1 for betternut squash

Thanks for sharing, I found it helpful. but.... I was afraid you were gonna hurt yourself.

Yeah the cute ones always seem to be crazy

Is it ok to eat the skin of the butternut squash or is it better to peel it?

I just use a cleaver for hard squash...

Actually...I totally disagree with the person that said this wasn't helpful. Completely what I was looking for.

I also like that the video had no preamble and just got right to business. Maybe I won't cut it the same way but I totally understand now what needs to be done.

Very well said! I could just see 100 000 ppl accidentally cutting themselves!

Sketchy knife skills

lol this video and comment section is funny. I hope everybody's butternut squash turned out well

Never never never cut towards yourself no matter how careful you are

I am by no means an expert when it comes to cooking the reason I'm watching this video, with that being said I'm almost certain that's probably not the way you wanna slice any food.

Very helpful!

Why wouldn't you peel it first before you cut it in half?

i can't see nth with the caption on ......... how is this gonna help .....

That looks dangerous to me

Cut both ends off first and stand it up, it can't roll, then slice down the middle from the top towards your chopping board!!!!!

You are very cute

To anyone reading the comments, NEVER cut a squash like this!!

Please those who comment strongly against this post your own video. At least that makes your comment stand out

@dexerjones that has got nothing to do with competence. there are basic rules to follow when you use tools, be it a knife, a hammer or a screwdriver.

DONT DO THIS! THIS IS TOO DANGEROUS! Never never ever push a knife towards your hand! See where she turns the squash over and pulls the knife towards her hand... that's what i'm talking about...

Why not cut in half the other way???

@l1ttleguy1 Your name is little guy.

0:38 - never ever, EVER cut anything where the knife edge is towards a part of your body. Unless you want to lose a finger.

This is the first video I’ve seen on how to cut the butternut squash. I did cringe a little seeing how she handled the knife. She may need to be more skilled using the knife. Anyway, the video gave me a start. She is a pretty young lady.

Lost three fingers. YOLO

hahaa Harry potter and friends

Yikes she was just pushing a knife towards her hand. Mistake number one. That’s a good way for a trip to the hospital.

What the hell?!! NEVER cut towards your self

Never use a nknife like that

That is the most dangerous way to cut a squash. Seriously!

@Church904 at the same time you shouldn't leave somthing like this uncorrected she's doing it wrong and could cause her or anyone replicating what she's doing to get hurt, yes people need to control themselves from being blatently rude but from what i've seen no one has been

How to prepare it suppose to mean how to cook it also not just take it apart. WTH?

I'm phoning Gordon Ramsey, you're in a lot of trouble!!!!

This looks risky lol

Has anyone injured themselves yet?

Stop complaining, no pain no gain

Good way to cut the other hand off using knife that way! This video needs to be removed.

I noticed while she was halving the squash, the sharp blade was facing her hand. This is supposed to be a cooking guide channel. Not smart

the text is awful, you can't see anything you're doing.

Hey, isn't this the woman that got roasted by Kallen Allen, Ellen's favourite food critic? She cooked a bland looking chicken that time 😂. Damn I knew her from that strange fake smile.

far too dangerous!

Your knife handling technique on this and other videos is quite scary....You may want to take a remedial class, Its amazing we haven't seen you lose a finger or two.

Oh my god, there are so many complaints-you guys must be stupidly clumsy with a knife

Well, this wasn't helpful at all...

That’s how to end up in hospital! WARNING……….Don’t attempt this at home!

was a terrible way to use a knife

very beautiful girl failed knife work please dont follow what she just did but am guessing most of you realized that after watching this video and this advise is coming from a guy who cant cook.

Do not listen to this good lord

Your knife skills are terrible. Please don't cut it like this.

Yikes take this video down

Thank you
