How to Remove the Stalk from Lettuce and Keep it Fresh

A professional chef taught me this method.
You may need several whacks for a heavy and tightly wrapped head of lettuce.
Your hand may be painful if you whack it too hard, so be careful.
When selecting lettuce, I recommend a light and loosely wrapped head to a heavy and tightly wrapped one for a much more delicious flavour. Recipe by olive11

How to Remove Cabbage Leaves without Damaging Them How to Remove Cabbage Leaves without Damaging Them
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.

The Best Way To Keep Broccoli Fresh! The Best Way To Keep Broccoli Fresh!
Broccoli sold in the U.S. is too big. (LOL) I love broccoli so that makes me happy, but they won't fit in my refrigerator's vegetable compartment! So I was forced to store them in the back of the fridge. I used up one stalk, and took another one out in week 2 - and what do you know, it was still very fresh and nice. The method I'd used just by accident worked very well.* The point is to store broccoli on a regular shelf in the refrigerator, not the vegetable bin! That's it.* If you store it in the refrigerator, the broccoli florets may open up! Recipe by Tomorin0203 cookpad.japan -

Drying and Storing Parsley Drying and Storing Parsley
Between spring and summer, large bunches of parsley are often on special offer. They're cheap, but it's too much to use up. That's why I wanted to come up with a good way of storing them.I thought it would be handy to have it on hand after drying and breaking up into little flakes.The color of parsley won't fade away if you dry them with this method. With this method, it's been easier for me to always have a jar of parsley around.The time to dry the parsley in the microwave is about 8 minutes in total at 600 W. But please adjust the time depending on the volume of the parsley.The stem doesn't taste nice, so only use the leaves.If you dry the parsley too much, it may catch a fire. So repeat Step 2 and 3 carefully. Recipe by Pinokogohan cookpad.japan -
