Show HN: Red pepper chef – distinguish parts of a red pepper to keep vs. discard
- lazyant 8y agoUnrelated to this technology but related to peppers in general: if while they are whole you grab the stem and push inside until it breaks, you can take out the part to discard with all the seeds quickly; I don't get why I see people and cooks spending time cleaning the seed part with knives after cutting them.
- dplgk 8y agoDo you have a video to demonstrate?
- AllegedAlec 8y agoThis doesn't get rid of the white membrane.
- grenoire 8y agoWhich is perfectly edible and harmles...
- darkpuma 8y agoBut nevertheless not necessarily desired. Incidentally apple cores are edible too.
- AllegedAlec 8y agoSure, but it has fuck-all flavour and has not the best texture.
- black-tea 8y agoI can think of lots of things which are perfectly edible and harmless. Cooking isn't about making things edible, though, it's about making them nice.
- loco5niner 8y ago...and not the pleasant part. Worth getting rid of.
- walshemj 8y agoI use a grapefruit knife to do this - and also to remove the seeds from chilies.
- alexhornbake 8y agohttps://youtu.be/hZGqtmwboHU https://youtu.be/hZGqtmwboHU I defer to an expert.
- simongr3dal 8y agoI use the same method, but I don’t cut the stem and I don’t stand the peber upside down.

- ambicapter 8y agoThis 100% of the time for me results in an uneven break which breaks apart the pepper awkwardly and doesn't even get all the seeds inside.
- thisacctforreal 8y agoThis is really cool, nice work. Pairs nicely with the end-user programming post earlier[0]; maybe training neural nets will someday be possible from a spreadshet. [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19469912 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19469912
- anthonysarkis 8y agoThank you! :) Def going to get easier over time I think!
- Rainymood 8y agoI'm possibly being too cynic here, but what are we reading other than an ad-blog for Diffgram?
