Notes
How to cut cauliflower
Begin by cutting cauliflower in half starting at the top and right through the core. All the florets are attached to the core with their own stems. Use a pointed knife to remove the florets from the core by cutting them away. you can further cut the florets into desired sized pieces. The core can also be used by thinly slicing it for facilitate the cooking. Remember to add the stem pieces a little before the florets to adjust the cooking time. Also it is important to wash cauliflower core and floret to remove any grit it may have hidden in nooks and crannies before cooking.
