Master the art of slicing pineapple quickly and efficiently

Step-by-Step Guide to Cutting Your Pineapple
Prepare your work area: Clean your cutting board and knife. Lay the pineapple on its side on the board.

Remove the crown and base: Cut off the top crown and base of the pineapple, leaving flat surfaces at both ends. This will stabilize the pineapple and make it easier and safer to cut.

Peel the rind: Stand the pineapple upright on the ground. Carefully slice down the sides, following the curve of the fruit to remove the rind. Try to cut just deep enough to remove the skin and leave as much flesh as possible.

Remove the eyes: Pineapples have small brown "eyes" embedded in the flesh. Remove these with your knife or a paring knife by cutting diagonally along the pattern. This technique minimizes waste.

Slice the pineapple: Once you've removed the peel and eyes, lay the pineapple on its side again. Now you can cut it into rings or chunks, depending on your preference. If you prefer chunks, cut the pineapple into quarters lengthwise and then cut the hard core off each quarter.

Enjoy or Store: Your pineapple is ready to enjoy right now, use in recipes, or store. Pineapple chunks can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a few days, or frozen for longer storage.
