I pitty your weak immune system

When i was a kitchen bitch I had a mind numbing job of peeling grapes for a chefs dish.
I last two months working. What a fucking mundane job with mundane tasks.

>don't peel potato
>probably cook a bunch of necrotic tuber tissue
>lol why peel

>>10667283
That's why you inspect the potatoes and peel or cut out the shit bits. But you don't peel them completely (if you can help it).

Christ, do you dingleberries even try?

>>10664006
Texture, mainly. Sometimes I peel my potatoes, sometimes I don't. Depends on what I'm making and how.

how do I know what parts of the potato to cut off?

>>10664006
better safe than sorry with brain damage from pesticide ingestion

>>10667283
dont eat the nasty part you dumbass
the peel has lots of good shit in it

>>10667346
You can't tell what parts are nasty without cutting and peeling though.

>>10667305
Things to peel/cut out
>bruised parts
>anything "budding" off the potato
>areas where the skin/flesh has been cut/punctured (it'll probably look brownish)

Also, if a potato is"budding" too much and/or looks green, just throw it away

>>10667315
This is why you wash your produce (any produce) before eating/cooking it. Always.

>pic related is you

Try and cook with unpeeled onion, garlic or ginger, you dingus.

I don't peel my stuff but you seem to be in denial that water doesn't really clean things, it just makes things wet.

Congrats now the dirt and shit jammed into the skin of your veg is wet. At what point did you actually clean it? Peeling is the only way to 100% avoid grit and feces and dirty third world hand cooties.

not only was your boss a dumbass, but he fucking hated you

That's how you concasse a tomato, retard.

I generally don't peel potatoes because potato peel is delicious, but I notice a different, dirtier taste and texture when I don't peel carrots. Unpeeled carrots are fine raw, but when I cook them unpeeled they just taste worse in my opinion.

Just throw the whole carrot in. Don't bother peeling it, you'll just remove the nutrients. Otherwise you're going to be a fat little piggy.

>>10667494
You might as well be eating fast food and getting scurvy than peeling your carrots!

>now rinsing with water means brushing
>never said anything about brushing
>saying wew lad
Kys eurocuck

hah I eat the same thing. And I don't peel them, It all goes in my mouth. potato skin is healthy as long as it isn't green or sprouting.

>>10668015
What, do you not scrub it with a brush or a scrub? You don't have to go full steel wool on it but your hands and fingers don't fully do the job.

>>10667467
Branching is used for wilting the outer skin so it can be peeled more easily. It works for plenty of things, including pearl onions.

>>10668037
What in any of those posts implied people were scrubbing with a brush?
I can see your tiny eurocuck brain spinning up another pitiful fabrication. C'mon lad let's hear it.

>>10664006
I son't peelcarrots or potatoes if they are fresh. That's where the flavor is

>>10668015
Washing includes scrubbing but hey what do you amerimutts know about washing...

>>10668072
>implying people are literally taking a brush to their food when they say they're washing it
Washing vegetables means rinsing in the first world, Mohammed.

Washing also includes soap but are you using soap to "wash" your food? Idiot
