Groovy music.
Great tip
Did you get that music from a porn movie?
Love, love, LOVE your channel!❤❤❤
How to clean it?
How is it he showed 3 ways to cut cauliflower, and yet none of them were correct? With the possible exception of the last one.
The outer leafs are edible, you don't need to discard it.
Hi there America's Test Kitchen thanks for the cauliflower prep video could you do a video on cailiflower rice and ways to use the rice💕
much better than my peel apart with my bare hands method
Very helpful! Thank you ⭐️
Cauliflower is delicious but it does not develop a meaty texture with a nutty sweet flavor
I'd always used the wedge method and hadn't considered cutting slabs, reserving the leftovers for other uses. This way of thinking opens up many other options in the kitchen.
Cauliflower is nasty. Broccoli for Life!
Scissors are smart, I always used a pairing knife to break them down into florets.
I love how he smacks the pre-prepared cauliflower straight off the screen! That's basically me in the kitchen, though it rarely makes it into my videos xD
He has a great voice, just kill the music!
If the loud, competing music wasn’t there, this would be a fantastic instructional video.
I don't know, seems like common sense…
Great tips and very well demonstrated. Thanks!
discard the green leaves???? why?? they taste so good – THE WHOLE CAULIFLOWER TASTE GOOD no matter how you cook it (or eat it raw)
Nice video! I don’t eat much cauliflower because I don’t know what to do with it except put it in a salad. If you all could make a more elaborate video on cauliflower preparation, that would make a very interesting video!

I always thought pre-making cauliflower was so time consuming but after watching this i'm 100% going to make it for dinner tonight! I just started a weekly food prep video series and this would be PERFECT to prep at the start of the week!
hate this shitty vegetable. Tastes like puked broccoli
I eat my coliflower whole. I melt 1/2 pound of butter, boiling, pour over coliflower and eat. Better than popcorn.
I almost never do anything to the cauliflower apart from washing it until after I have cooked it.
I put the cauliflower into a pot with cold water. I let the water boil for a minute or two befor removing the cauliflower. As it sits uncovered on a plate, it completes cooking and becomes ready to add into any dishes. It has the right texture and only needs a little heating at this point.
When ir has chilled enough so that I can work with it, it is easy to divide it with a small knife.
This method tends to impress housewives because they tend to overcook cauliflower.
Great video, love cauliflower but never tried roast like a steak. Thanks
Don't throw out the stalk! I peel it and slice it into sticks.
Go getter
Thanks man. I needed this. I usually just randomly cut it up. It's nice to have a systematic method n the feeling of knowing what you're doing behind the knife. It's like mine is always judging me
Can't stand this guy's voice.
