How to Core a Head of Iceberg Lettuce in 3 Seconds
Making tons of tacos? A serious quantity of salad? If you want to chop up a lot of iceberg without any fuss, the most efficient way is to remove the core, then hack away. You could take the core out with a paring knife and a bit of patience. Or you can use our technique, which takes less than 3 seconds and is so much fun you might find yourself eating wedge salads for a week.
What you'll need
• A chilled head of iceberg lettuce• A hard, flat surface
How it works
Holding the head of lettuce in two hands, position it so the core of the lettuce is parallel to the flat surface. Slam it down hard; remove the freed core. Slice and chop however you like.Related

As well as anyone who has worked in a decent restaurant knows this same trick. That being said, I like the shortness and simplicity of the video. I'd like to see more, lots more. Some people (anyone see the 8 minute long, how to prep a pomegranate in 15 seconds video?) like to spend all day telling you how awesome what they discovered is. The point of the internet is to communicate these fun time saving discoveries to the rest of the internet in a short a simple method. this video does just that. Keep it up guys, it got me to sign up.
How is this a "tip"? Didn't know I was now reading a women's shelter magazine.
Ive never attended a Tupperware party, worked in a professional kitchen or helped at a women's shelter so I personally found this little tip useful. Now that I can now de-core a lettuce in 3 seconds who knows what exciting things I'll be able to do with that extra time... certainly not any of the above.
