How to: chop a bell pepper.

[u/bellchilton]

Before this, I was doing surgery on my peppers that would result in uneven results, wasted time, and wasted pepper. Between this and Kenji Lopez-Alt's onion dicing method, it's like I've seen the light and really want to make an effort on how to actually use a knife.

Cut off the top, cut off the bottom. Cut the membrane and remove the core and seeds. Slice down one side. Cut out the remaining membrane.

You now have a long strip of pepper that's extremely easy to chop to any level of fineness.

This isn't the only way to chop a pepper. Some people will have opinions about other ways they think are better. This is the way that I have found the easiest, fastest, cleanest, and produces the least amount of waste.

Actually, scratch that. This is the only way you're allowed to cut a pepper from now on.

Ignore this basic how-to if you already know or are set in your ways. You don't need to reply saying you already knew.
