Just the standard way of peeling peaches quickly and with minimal waste.

I received an incredible amount of loquats from my parents' house, from which I've been making jam and frozen loquats.But the more they're handled through removing the skin and seed coats, the more they fall apart.So, after some struggle, I came up with a way to remove the skin and seed coats easily without the flesh falling apart.

When I first was learning how to cook I wondered how to do things. This was one thing I learned from my Mom and Grandmother.

I don't like peeling pomegranates, and so they were a great bother to eat before I knew about this peeling method.Californian pomegranate is a delicious fruit with a gentle, sweet and sour taste, with plenty of polyphenol. You can use the arils for various dishes, desserts, or in drinks.The red arils are perfect for Christmas or New Year's dishes. Recipe by Djnakki-

I wanted to know why boiled eggs can be peeled easily sometimes and then they're impossible to peel other times. I did some research and this was the result. With this method, I have no more problems peeling boiled eggs! This method works so perfectly that I want to pass it down to my child (who's still a baby, though) and grandchildren (even thoughdon't have any yet) and to future generations!Through my research, I concluded that if the egg whites coagulate as quickly as possible, they separate from the thin inner skin of the egg, making it easy to peel.So starting with cold eggs and cold water doesn't work!!!

I've been peeling tomatoes this way for a while now.See also - Paella in a Frying Pan....Make fairly shallow cuts in Step 1. Also make sure that the tomato is seared evenly. When using a microwave, after making a criss cross slit, microwave it for 30 to 60 seconds without covering with plastic wrap. If peeling in hot water, after making a criss cross slit, soak the tomato in boiling water for 15-20 seconds, then soak it in cold water. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221

This is the method my sweetie came up with since he wants to eat cleanly peeled grapefruit every day.Every piece is cleanly peeled and delicious.In Step 4, if you remove the white pith as cleanly as possible, the rest is very easy.In Step 6, if you gently split the fruit in half so as not to crush the segments, you can peel them very cleanly.In Step 8, cutting into the corners is the key to removing the membranes.

I wanted to make the bothersome job of peeling chestnuts easier. I experimented with the pressure cooker until I settled on this recipe. The pressure cooked chestnuts will still be on the firm side, good for making chestnut rice.Pressure cooking the chestnuts for 2 minutes softened them too much that some crumbled when I tried to peel them, so about a minute is good! Recipe by Yumina

I felt it was wasteful using a peeler or knife when peeling potatoes since the flesh is also removed along with the peel.Soak the potatoes in lukewarm water as soon as you remove them from the freezer (otherwise the skin will not peel right off).While rubbing off the skin, keep them soaked in tepid or lukewarm water (the water will be absorbed between the flesh and the skin, making the skin easy to remove). Freezing the potatoes will break down the cells of the potato, making the flavors absorb easily when stewing ☆ Recipe by Akeguri

I thought I'd write down how to peel chestnuts for chestnut rice or chestnuts in syrup.A knife that cuts well is easier to work with. Be careful not to cut yourself as you work. For easy to make amount. Recipe by Hakuundou

After trying several methods, this was the easiest way to peel the eggplants.How to cleanly peel eggplants:1. Score the surface.2. Grill them well until they are completely soft and limp.3.

I was struggling to pit a large amount of apricots. So, I uploaded this like I would a recipe.Please use a soft touch. Otherwise, the fruit will get smashed... Recipe by Amarettojinja-

Seen a video and made the attempt only lost one. It broke into pieces, because I shook it way to hard the first time. The rest came out easy

We use a lot of quail eggs in our osechi (New Year's feast food) so when I was peeling a bunch, I was able learn the trick to doing it in one swoop.You can peel chicken eggs in the same way if you make a lot of small cracks in the shell.This method works by cracking the shells all over and introducing water between the thin membrane and the egg surface,If you can't peel an egg easily, just return it to the water and work on another one. I tend to work on the eggs in a clockwise direction, but if it's not going well I go counter-clockwise and that works sometimes . Recipe by Pangu-

This is how to strip off outer skin when making chestnuts simmered in their inner skins. I found an easy-to-use tool this year, too. For experienced folks, it's probably best to use a knife. I recommend this method for novices or for helping children.Be careful not to cut yourself with the knife. Recipe by Hakuundou

When I was little, we used to have a small tool to peel chestnuts. If only we had that still, it would be so handy... but then I was inspired to use a butter knife.A small petty or paring knife is easier to use than a large chef's knife. Once you get used to peeling chestnuts, you can do it all with the paring knife, but a butter knife is handy for the task too. I recommend using them especially if working with small children. Recipe by Hakuundou

I consulted a cookery book a long time ago to make just several stuffed cabbage rolls. According to it, I had to boil a whole cabbage in a pot. It was too much and I just wanted to use several leaves. It is difficult to remove cabbage leaves without tearing before boiling. Since I thought of this method, I have always been successful.Use a small knife to cut out the hard center core. The leftover cabbage will freshen up because of the water! This is another good point of this method. If a metal blade touches the cut surface of a lettuce, it will discolour. Use a ceramic knife or your hand to cut the leaves from the center core.

I've tested many ways to peel chestnuts, but believe the method my mother taught me is the best.As long as you are careful when peeling off the hard base, the rest is easy. Recipe by Torabi-

Maybe I'm not organized enough, but I can never peel tomatoes properly using the blanching method. So I thought up this way of subjecting tomatoes to a "burning at the stake" punishment .Make sure that the flames reach every part of the skin properly! If you don't, you may end up with some patches that won't peel off.When the skin makes a "pop!" sound, I become unreasonably happy.Please be sure to use a fork with a handle that doesn't transmit heat. Otherwise you'll burn yourself! Recipe by Radorin

Avocado! Tuna! Cheese! This dish allows me to enjoy 3 of my favorite foods all at once. Since the "dish" is also the avocado, there aren't any dishes to wash! This recipe is delicious, easy, and quick.I use canned tuna without oil. You don't need to drain the liquid, just add it all in.Don't forget to add the lemon juice. You can adjust the flavor with salt or mayonnaise. Recipe by Tentoumushi

Avocado juice is very common in Bali. You may find it unusual, but it's so good!! As it's so delicious and easy to make, it's a bummer that's it's not available here.No hints. Recipe by Komatsuta

I wanted to create an easy avocado recipe.- The ingredients are tasty enough so all you need to do is mix and bake: an easy, easy gratin recipe.- I say 1 serving, but this amount can serve 2.- You could also mix chopped boiled eggs or cured ham. It's really delicious. I appreciate your understanding of omitting the cooking reports. Recipe by smooth

The boiled eggs sold at convenience stores are really tasty...but I think they're over-priced. You can enjoy them for way less if you just know the trick.Immerse the boiled eggs in the salt water while they are still hot. (Be careful not to burn yourself!!) Depending on what kind of salt you use, the amount of salt will vary. In general, you want some undissolved salt crystals still left in the water. Recipe by Kikoutou

An easy way to cut a navel orange.The story behind this recipeI love navel oranges and eat them often. I also take them in my lunchbox. This method is the easiest and keeps the segments intact, so I decided to share it.

Everyone cuts lemons into 8 wedges lengthwise, but if you do it that way there's a high chance that the cut side of the wedges will be the sac wall...which means that when you squeeze the wedge, the juice goes flying everywhere. So I came up with this cutting method. I wanted to teach this method to my children, so I wrote it down here.Lemons cut into 8 lengthwise wedges are fine, but since it takes the same amount of effort anyway, I like to go with this method, which results in nice cut sides. The walls of the lemon sacs won't be on the cut sides of the wedges, so the wedges are easy to juice and look beautiful too. Recipe by kebeibiko

Hola, kitchen amigos!It's time for our QOTW (Question of the Week) where we'll be talking about ingredients, methods, and sometimes just plain fun food stuff.I love garlic. I can't even imagine what food would be like if garlic didn't exist anymore. *Almost* every savory dish I like has garlic in it. And it's not like I always have to put a ton of it in my dishes, but it never fails to lend fantastic flavor, whatever the quantity.So today's question is: WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE WAY TO PEEL GARLIC?I've tried a few including putting a whole head's worth of cloves into a jar and shaking which was all the rage a couple of years ago, but I found that method doesn't work so well when you have super fresh garlic because the membranes are still too sticky to release.My older daughter likes to use this silicone tube thingy that you roll the cloves in to loosen the peel.Me? My go-to method seems to be just smashing it with my palm under the flat side of my chef's knife blade, which not only makes the peel pull away very easily, but also does half my chopping job for me at the same time.I'm sure you probably have a favorite method, so please share!And if you’ve shared or found an awesome garlicky recipe here on Cookpad, please share the link. 😊Looking forward to your answers!~ YFNCM :)

Feel free to use these in a variety of recipes! (examples below)Rolling the eggs around with cooking chopsticks when they're boiling will position the yolk in the center of the eggs. By shaking the eggs in the bowls, they will crack all over evenly, and will become easy to peel!(Recipe by Cooking S Papa)

I've tried many different recipes, but I like eating avocado this way the best!!Just cut and mix! For 4 servings. Recipe by Rapyuta hime

I thought everyone removed the cellophane this way, but that doesn't seem to the case. I realized my way was unique.Of course, you can prepare your natto as you like, but since I like it with sesame oil and salt, I've been eating it this way for some time.Just pull a small edge of the cellophane out of the container, close the lid and pull it out!
