Halved Strawberries
- See step one for whole strawberries if you prefer to remove the stems. Otherwise, hold the strawberry steady on the cutting board and use a sharp knife to slice it in half vertically from top to bottom, leaving the green stem intact.
Quartered Strawberries
- Remove the green stems by gently pinching and pulling them off with your fingers or by using a paring knife.
- Hold the strawberry steady on the cutting board and use a sharp knife to slice it in half vertically from top to bottom. Then cut each half in half again to create quarters.
Sliced Strawberries
- Hold the strawberry steady on the cutting board and use a sharp knife to slice off the green stem, creating a flat surface.
- Place the strawberry on its flat side and thinly slice it horizontally from top to bottom.
Diced Strawberries
- Follow the instructions from sliced strawberries. Then turn the slices and cut them vertically.
- Make perpendicular cuts all across to create the dices.
Notes
- Storage: Store cut strawberries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For whole strawberries, line the bottom of the container with a piece of paper towel to absorb moisture.
- Tips:
- Dry strawberries well. Drain them for a few minutes and transfer them to a kitchen towel to absorb excess moisture. Blot gently and let them air dry. You can also run the strawberries through a salad spinner to remove any water and then air dry.
- Stabilize for safety. Stabilize the cutting board on your counter by placing a damp kitchen towel or paper towel underneath. This will prevent it from slipping and twisting while you cut.
