There is usually more than one way to perform even the simplest of tasks. With that in mind (and after learning so much from the avocado video I discussed last week), I’ve been seeking out tips and techniques on some relatively basic things. You just never know when you might learn something that will save you time or just make the process easier and more enjoyable. And I’ve always been a firm believer that if you sound basic techniques, it’s that much easier to move on to the more challenging stuff.
I wasn’t sure what I could possibly learn from a video showing me how to de-stem spinach and I have to admit, I didn’t learn a whole lot, but I did take away one little thing that may improve my technique. I had always just snapped the step off and if it didn’t snap I pinched it off with my fingernails. Pulling the stem down the back of the leaf as they demonstrate in the video is a little more efficient I think. I’m going to give this a thorough test tonight when I make an Alfredo pasta dish with spinach.
