How to Cut a Summer Squash
A summer squash is not a brick. It’s soft, forgiving, and practically begging to be sliced. If you mess up a cut? Who cares! You’re cooking, not performing surgery. The goal here is to make your life easier and your dinner more fun.
Start with a sharp knife, because a dull blade is a sad excuse for kitchen drama. A chef’s knife or a sturdy paring knife will do. And wash that squash—nobody likes a gritty bite of dirt. (Trust me, I’ve been there, and it’s not a textural adventure you want.)
