Sometimes I watch cooking shows like Top Chef or Hell's Kitchen with envy. Watching the pros cook intricate and elaborate meals is awe-inspiring, but they can do some pretty basic stuff exceptionally well, too.
(This is why we love food hacks here.)
When I'm struggling in the kitchen to get a simple meal done, I long for the technical skills of a seasoned chef's knife work.
You know that awesome chop chop chop thing they do in quick succession? That would be my superpower if I got to choose.
Unfortunately, I don't have that culinary degree yet, so instead I lament and chop and lament and chop and lament and chop… Until, that is, I found this slick trick on how to cut a bunch of itty-bitty cherry tomatoes at once.
Now I think we all know that when a recipe calls for a ton of small sliced veggies, things can get tedious really quick.
This five-second trick is life-changing.
