This easy tutorial for how to cut cauliflower will help you with so many great recipes.
I love using cauliflower in recipes, but it was years before I knew how to cut it quickly and easily. This simple tutorial will help you cut up a head of cauliflower in a snap.
How to Cut Cauliflower
Cut the Cauliflower in Half
I like to put it stem-down on the cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut the head of cauliflower in half.
Cut Each Half in Half Again
Lay the flat side down on the cutting board and cut each half again. You will now have four quarters.
Cut Out the Stem and Core
Angling the knife down, cut the core and stem out of the cauliflower.
Break Up the Pieces
Use your hands to break up the remaining cauliflower. For any large pieces, you may need to use your knife.
Washing Cauliflower
Once your cauliflower is cut up, rinse it thoroughly under cold running water and pat it dry with a clean towel to remove any dirt or debris.
