I'm clicking on the notification and saying "Mmhmm" before the video page even loads up lol. You got a stone cold brand Dawi! Plus I'm learning stuff I've NEVER heard before in this video. Plus them knife skills. This channel deserves more views than it gets.

First time I've ever seen anyone take the time to explain how to cut a cucumber with your fingers curled under. I think most of us know to keep our fingers curled under, but here we see how the knuckles are a guide and that is like mind-blowing for me because I have never seen it demonstrated or told. Thank you so much

Most welcome 🤗

nfn i thought that cucumber thing was hogwash when i saw it on twitter, glad you went the distance to figure out 'the why' and not leave it as a thing people say.

Yes, I learned that from my mother, 65 years ago. You are absolutely correct.

I just tried the hack and my cucumber is now nice and tasty. You got a new subbie👍 Gracias!

My dad was a caterer, he did this with every cucumber every time.

All the cukes are bitter this summer, for some reason, so I'll try it even though I don't believe it! Never had this problem before!

As child 👦🏽 in Africa I remember my mother putting bit of salt on the cut ends and rubbing. There be a froth substance. The removes the froth.

Wow! Right into the video, no time wasting. Very informative, thank you.

I've been canning pickles and they're wonderful but, the last batch was so bitter I tossed it. This helps and it'll be incorporated with each new batch. Great video thank you.

Lovely!

4:11 thank you Badawi.....ive always wondered about this....and my friends and I discussed it a few times....now there is closure.....i personally dont find the taste of cucumber to be bitter...but I generally love bitter vegetables ...mustard..carraile antroewa...blessed day

I don't even remember when or where I learned this but been doing it for many years. nice to learn about the name of the bitterness tho

Well, I thought it used to get sour when it's stolen. Thanks for the info. Now I just need to learn how to grow it properly or find a vendor who is reasonably priced. A knife sharpening video will also be appreciated.

I'll be darned, it worked like a charm!! Thank you!!

I learnt this from my brother recently on my trip back home. Best trick!!

Never knew about this. Thanks for the lesson Baidawi

BOSS knife skill and thank you for the old school explanation👌

You're welcome and thank you so much! Really appreciate the kind support!

Thank you. I too hve experienced the bitterness. 👍🏽

I know about this, but thanks for the technique on how to cut the thin slices.

I tried it out of my husband's Garden down here in South Georgia fantastic great job

What do you know! I have always done this step not knowing why. 🙏for sharing. Tried this cutting method but I don’t trust a sharpened knife😂Welcome back..I truly missed you! 🥰

Oh my goodness....watching you slice that cucumber so quickly really made me.... well, I can't say. But it was great!

Thanks for this. I never knew this and I love cucumbers. Why vinegar in the chow?

@eatahfood

Жыл бұрын

Adding an acid in chows helps to preserve the ingredients. It's a form of pickling. I use vinegar sometimes because it has a neutral taste as compared to lime or lemons

Learnt growing up. Always do it. Thanks for knife cutting lesson.

I know of this process but have not done this for years thanks for the reminder😁👍

Awesome thank you!

Well...well...mt granny used to do that long time.but I never took her on. Like wow...Will definitely be doing it next time. Love the chow

Yes, grew up seeing it done but could never get an answer as to why we did it. Grateful for the answer finally.

didn't work for me but I peeled the cucumber first, maybe that's why

Ok ok ! Will definitely try it out to see ..but the thing is the seeds which I remove...to cut the ingestion..bitter part never bother Me but I want to try your discovery and see the difference in taste..appreciate your video always.. take care..

Thanks for the tasty tip. That's why I love this channel. Again. 👀 Looking at the numbers. 100k. 🥂🍾🎊🎉

I will try this--I love cucumbers when they aren't bitter. They're almost like a honey melon. But good grief, the bitter ones are godawful. And... your knife skills are AMAZING.

I thought the bitterness was in the peel. I usually just peel the skin off and eat the flesh. I will try this

Look how learn something here thanks Badawi!! 😊

I grew up seeing my parents do it and I followed into where I am now in "age" .

I was taught to rub the piece i cut off back unto the cucumber to remove the bitterness yes

Yeah bro! Age old secret 😉

Thanks much.

I think it's a defense mechanism, sort of how some plants give off a milky liquid when cut

Mmmmm! Show off with your knife skills nah! 🤜

So, what do you do when this doesn't work? Tastes like straight chemicals, still. 🤔

Unfortunately this isn't a remedy for removing any chemical taste from cucumbers 😢

That's a long time method my granny use to do

I does try with that cutting technique but failure

I still do it...both top and bottom.

My mom taught me this

wtf. wow.

Maybe you can't taste the bitterness because you cut it away, it's suppose to be more bitter at the end & less in the rest.

Still rub the ends

Nonsense😂

The audible chewing and smacking are so obnoxious they’re detracting from the video.
