00:00:03of all how you would chop something like
00:00:04a cucumber and when they choose a
00:00:07midsize knife not a big proper chopping
00:00:09knife a smaller one something like this
00:00:12or maybe even slightly smaller like a
00:00:14paring knife
00:00:15okay now this chopping my wrist is stiff
00:00:18and my elbow bends but the wrist is
00:00:21stiff and I hold my knife tightly in my
00:00:24hand like that okay so moving up and
00:00:27down I’m going to hit the cucumber now
00:00:32you see my fingers here they’re on top
00:00:34of the cucumber and that knuckle is
00:00:37keeping the knife under control so this
00:00:43pink that I move my fingers back
00:00:48determines the thickness of the slice of
00:00:50cucumber do you see now what you don’t
00:00:52want to do is put your fingers I like
00:00:54then you’ll cut the ends so tuck your
00:00:56ends your fingers in and use your
00:00:58knuckle to guide the knife just move
00:01:02your arm up and down your wrist stiff
00:01:04and then you go as fast as you like
00:01:23control that let’s go around the table
00:01:30and that’s how to chop something like a
00:01:32cucumber now obviously that kind of
00:01:34chopping you can use for many different
00:01:36vegetables cucumbers just one example
00:01:38but it’s a good one
