Super easy pineapple trick

" Boat drinks, boys in the band ordered boat drinks, visitors scored on the home rink, every thing seems to be wrong". - Jimmy Buffet

What says boat drinks more than fresh pineapple? Ok most of you are probably thinking " but Chef, they are such a pain to clean, I'll just  spend the extra money and buy one already cleaned and cut" or worse you will get canned.
Save your money ( maybe put it toward better rum) ' cuz I'm going to show you the world's easiest method for cleaning this tropical delicacy.

To achieve this skill you will need a couple of highly specialized pieces of equipment.

 A knife and a cutting board. You really don't even need the cutting board but it will help eliminate any pineapple related domestic disputes arising from cut and sticky countertops.

A quick word about the knife. Please, please, please, use a knife that is at least as long as the width of the pineapple, preferably with a sharp tip. If you use a small paring knife you will get frustrated, smushy pineapple, and people will mock you mercilessly as a hack and a charlatan. I'm just saying.

Step 1: slice off the bottom and top of the pineapple

Steps 2&3: place pineapple on end and cut in half an then in half again.

Step 4: cut the core off

Steps 5&6: using the tip of your knife, cut into but not through the pineapple into whatever size you want

Now slide your blade between the pineapple and the rind, turn it around and do the same to the other side and the fruit should slide off the rind You can cut them thick or thin or if you cut then horizontally, you will get spears( which by the way are awesome dipped in chile powder).

So now with just a little practice you can have that pineapple cleaned and ready to eat in less than a minute. Seriously. No, really. Enjoy
