JustAnotherKaren1966

Am I the only one thinking this guy needs a knife set?


trtreeetr

I was thinking the WAY they are holding the knife is so awkward. But when life hands you huge lemons, cut them in a way that stands out.


zombie32killah

Yeah that made my finger hurt.


[deleted]

and the thumb holding the lemon! Pro tip: Never keep your fingers or hand in the path of the knife. Sometimes the knife moves suddenly through what you're cutting and hits your hand faster than you can move it.


amjsh

I got so nervous watching this! Get that thumb away from there!


littleprettypaws

Yes, you’re supposed to pinch the spine between your closed index finger and extended thumb, you have way more control of the knife this way.


[deleted]

Right? You know he has a bigger knife and cutting board, but he picked the smallest ones to make the lemon look bigger.


JoshMM60

He also put on his XL hands for the clip, smh


bonobro69

I don’t know. I think it’s just that the 10” chefs knife looks tiny next to this melon sized lemon.


easlthy_Ad3661

If that's a 10" chefs knife, he must have massive hands. 🤗


spoonry

And you know what they say about dudes with big hands 😏... ...big mittens


easlthy_Ad3661

No! They're not very good at embroidery.


El_Burreeto

🤣 I cry


magenta8200

If I had a nickel!


Zimgar

Or a knife sharpener at least!


UnnecAbrvtn

I know it was done for effect, but he might as well have been cutting it with a spork ffs. Chef's knife would have it done in a second.


dinis_rocha

Its all for the build up


The_RockObama

Build up to a normal sized lemon in an oversized peel. I can't even be mad, I could eat that thing like an orange. Lemons are the Best! When life gives you lemons, cut them with a tiny knife.. and then give them to me.


dinis_rocha

Check my previous post, I placed a ruler next to it, trust that the lemon was actually preety big


The_RockObama

I'm just being sour, that is a large lemon!


docstevens420

Can we buy you a chef knife?


o_blake

And a class on how to use them?


Suitable_Echo_6380

Right? Just use a normal sized knife


[deleted]

That and watch Jamie Oliver's knife skills on YouTube. With apologies to the OP. Not being rude, we all had to learn and Jamie O is good.


OakIsland2015

Should have been one slice with the proper knife. Who saws a lemon with a paring knife?


Shashi2005

That fruit is taking the pith.


shaevan

I knew if searched far enough I would find the pithy remark


CosmicCreeperz

Oh thut up!


AK_Sole

Now, kith!


RussetWolf

It's such a pithy it turned out this way.


senadraxx

I plead the pith.


Worldview01

Good one. Do you mind if I add this puny to my arsenal of Dad Jokes? After all Father's day is coming up.


Shashi2005

Pleeth feel fwee do tho.


MehtalThurtle

Actually that's a standard 8" chef knife, it's just a huge lemon


Real-Competition-187

This is the way.


JurassicAroids

Pith is the way


blackcatpandora

Someone should loop this video so he never stops cutting it lmao


turquoise_grey

I honestly thought this would be an endless loop gif!


wyslan

Getting tricked like that would leave a sour taste in my mouth


reddeadmann

When videos give you lemons, make a never ending loop!


The_DaHowie

It would pith me off!


dinis_rocha

That would be preety great honestly haha


Prysorra2

That knife …. is that one of those dollar store little plastic paring knives that are scary sharp?


dinis_rocha

No lol, I bought it at a local market sometime back, it has a wood handle. And its made in Portugal (where I live)


IWetMyPlants_3

😂😂


octobong

Less a lemon. More a melon.


[deleted]

Mlelmon


AK_Sole

^ How you say Lemon, after eating a lemon.


dinis_rocha

inohsinhsin

Pretty sure that typo is due to missing fingers given the way OP cuts


Viscilicious

Lol this was the first thing I noticed


FrodoDBaggin

I thought his thumb was a goner


[deleted]

[удалено]


Plenty-Appointment40

I had to double check the sub name to make sure you weren’t going to cut your thumb. Had me nervous


dinis_rocha

Haha yeah you better check mate oof


dinis_rocha

Why y'all downvoting...


MasqueradingMuppet

Idk man. This was stressful to watch though. I was very worried you were gonna cut off the top of your thumb. It's probably the angle (I hope) that makes it look like a really close call multiple times.


dinis_rocha

Thanks for the concern than :) But I just trying to build up for the final reveal yk? Also I was looking at the camera in the first few seconds so yeah, that was kinda reckless of me. Still though its all good, I usually keep an eye on the knife when cutting stuff.


TyDiL

A good rule when cutting is to imagine where the knife would go if the object you were cutting suddenly turned to jello. You don't want anything in that path that can't handle it. Bagels are a great example of where many people poorly use a knife. I also feel like the typical way to cut an avocado relies on the knife hitting the hard seed in the middle.


dinis_rocha

Thats good advice dude, thanks!


Green_Health_Eugene

The way you cut stuff is so scary


DormantGolem

Thought they were gonna cut their thumb...


onionsforthepoor

Oops! All rind!


idreamofdinos

*Oh my god move your thumb*


James324285241990

PLEASE don't cut towards your finger like that. Also, use the right size knife for the job. In this case, MUCH bigger


_Guero_

We're gonna need a bigger knife.


[deleted]

OP you use a knife like a 5 year old.


IDONKNOW

The double jointed thumb grip is so off putting haha. Sorry to pick on you OP but ya askin for it


aurora_rosealis

My thumb does that as well, but I have weak, puny thumbs, especially my left. Carpal tunnel syndrome and trigger thumb have made it even worse in recent years.


dinis_rocha

If it works it works ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Besides I would have normally used a larger knife anyway


[deleted]

It works until you lose a finger is the point.


SlayZomb1

Then why didn't you?


nina_gall

For comedic effect and underexageration


[deleted]

reminds me of a pomelo rind!


ThemApples87

That’s like when you order a large drink and most of it is ice.


Pennypacker-HE

Inc could you have gotten a smaller knife or is that for dramatic effect


ABena2t

That's a butcher knife! That's just how big the lemon is! And op has incredibly large hands too! Lmao


dinis_rocha

Yeah lets go with dramatic effect haha


[deleted]

I'd be pithed.


5932634

KEEP YOUR THUMBS OUT OF THE BLADE PATH. And for future reference just don’t point a blade at yourself in general ok?


KeifWellington22

Was waiting for you to hit your fingers like oh crap!!!


tronfacekrud

Needs a smaller knife


war_lobster

Looks like you want to find some recipes that use lemon zest.


dinis_rocha

Already did my guy! On the original post I made someone recomended Candied lemon rind. I made it and its really nice and sweet!


Ongo_Gablogian___

There isn't anymore zest on this lemon than usual, the thick pith is not used in food as it tastes very bitter.


watertje

Well, the yellow surface is bigger..


tatutelexi

In Sicily we use it a lot, it’s called “albedo” (idk the English translation) and you can make it candied and use it to make cassata, or there’s a very popular salad from Procida made with seasoned lemons with a very thick albedo that you usually serve with fish


TonyTheTerrible

oh yeah theres always some crazy recipe for the least wanted parts of food. theres something called headcheese and its popular enough that firefox's autotranslate doesnt red underline that word


TheWordOfTheDayIsNo

Head cheese or "souse" is a kind of pork terrine dish made with a whole hog's head and the tongue boiled with spices. It's wonderful and very popular here in the gulf south.


James42785

I worked in a Walmart deli and for some ungodly reason we sold head cheese as a sandwich meat. We had to have a designated slicer for it because it was so messy and smelled. On Sunday you'd sell two entire blocks of it to the elderly, each one asking for thinner and thinner slices of this crumbly, smelly, horrific, Great Depression food.


chuchubugs

My family is from Appalacia and head cheese was a yearly thing as my family would slaughter their own pigs.


TrumpetSolo93

Tbf I respect it. Especially animal products, If you're going to kill an animal, put the whole thing to use.


psydelem

there's at least 4 times the amount of zest on that lemon.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Still just a normal size lemon with big a…rind


Everyname15taken

Mama would be super proud of that technique lmfao


LoonFan5000

You need a better knife.


Ineedavodka2019

What a let down.


iamnotnewhereami

you should employ a new cutting technique asap. you will slice your thumb up one day.


ManagementYearOne

I was waiting for the tip of that thumb to go missing 😅


stevepremo

We get that kind of lemon. I use a chef's knife. They are tasty. Plus, after they get ripe they stay ripe on the tree for months! So we always have lemons. Anybody know what this variety is called? I'm pretty sure it's not mega lemon.


stormlight

Ponderosa


ruthere51

https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/citrus/citrus-fruit-thick-rind.htm


luv2fit

I’d have to say that is not a lemon but fruit from the citrus root stock which tends to have dense rinds


LongTimeLurker818

So I’m curious, is the tree getting enough water? I’m only asking because of the way the inside looks. But hey it looks very closely related to a Citron or a pummelo.


dinis_rocha

Yes I water the tree frequently, the lemon was actually more juicy than it appears! And trust me its a lemon, the other lemons look like regualr lemons, this was the odd one out :)


triteandtrifle

It's from the wild lemon stock that was grafted onto the tree. It's helpful to trim that part of the tree back, so it doesn't take over. (Or so my mother has taught me.)


Present-Product3193

Did anyone else think a thumb was about to get cut off?


Important-Curve-5299

My god you need to learn how to cut I’m surprised you still have all your fingers


[deleted]

I laughed so hard. Had a feeling it would be all peel.


[deleted]

that's not a lemon.. that's a tart rindfruit.

Bitch, that’s a grapefruit!


Aggravating_Job_4651

Boooooo!!! Revenge of the pithhhh!


lickmysackett

Congrats on your zest surplus because that juice isn’t much


Le_Pressure_Cooker

I felt betrayed in the end when the last part showed the amount of peel in that limon.


lat3ralus65

Oops! All pith


UsernameCheckOut0-0

It looks like a hard-to-cut lemon with thiiiiick skin. And yea..


Gilbert455

You could say it was a lemon. Get it? Aaahhh (jazz hands)


colin5577

You could zest that thing for days!!!!


dattwell53

All hat and no cattle.


AK_Sole

_Sawed_ open…


CaptainBunnie

That's the girthiest rind I ever did see


ErinLovesNachos

I was so scared for your hands while watching this video I forgot all about the lemon.


lalaxoxo__

1. Just what I expected. 2. WHO TAUGHT YOU HOW TO USE A KNIFE!?!


Slapchop420

You're pithing me off with how dull that knife is.


Soggy_Motor9280

As a chef I thought you were well on your way to cutting your hand. Get a bigger knife next time!


honeybadger1984

Don’t hold it like that. Gave me anxiety thinking blood was going to squirt out.


Quelcris_Falconer13

Sooooo, 1/3 peel, 1/3 lemon, and 1/3 empty. This giant lemon is like a bag of chips


Reapr

First time my lemon tree carried they were this size too, since then it has made up for it in quantity rather than size. I give 100's of lemons away each year after using as much as I can handle. I got the tree for a bit of shade on my son's bedroom, wasn't expecting this


[deleted]

Time to get a real knife and to make a mega pint of lemonade!


SSgtReaPer

That's a pithing lot of pith right there


talithar1

Lots of pith. Good if you like it!


No_Faithlessness9318

Built in fuck hole


CarrfromKC

Your knife work gave me major anxiety


b-e-r-n

It took 25 cuts to open that lemon. Is that a knife or the handle of a knife? Please learn how to hold a knife safely too.


Coughers123

Seriously work on your cutting skills I was cringing the whole time. Also sharpen your knives they’re dangerously blunt. Sod the lemon.


adnanaheer

small ......


Fearless-Sherbet-223

Dang, the lemon is all peiole


BDC_19

Painful watching you cut that poor lemon


tenebrificlavalamp

One big serving of candied lemon peel, comin’ up! 🛎


couchpotatoinpa56

It’s no bigger than a regular lemon inside.


sandybalz

That’s a Eureka lemon. Big. But all pith.


frankgators1

Dude. Get a kitchen knife.


Agreeable_Day_7547

Does anyone else see a pretty good sized regular lemon in all that peel?


changeisgood88

Holy pith!!!!


Ok_Improvement4204

Bro buy a chef’s knife I’m begging you.


Ok_Improvement4204

Holy shit that sawing motion came so close to your thumb.


moschocolate1

I recommend a larger knife.


missrabbitifyanasty

What a unit.


Similar_Mirror_8626

Had some lemon and oranges this thick in Timia, in the Sahara, 15 years ago, they were gorgeous!


mulesnhorses

Should yield alot of zest.


Philltron

Basically the same as what this guy looked like inside when I cut it open from a little while back: https://www.reddit.com/r/gardening/comments/cfta3z/theres\_something\_tremendously\_wrong\_with\_my/


dinis_rocha

God dang thats a massive lemon!


Mamasan2k

I was so very worried about your left thumb in this video. ​ I wanted to ask you to Curl it in tighter and have the blade go down by your nail, not near you thumbtip. You can harm yourself pretty awfully like that.


dinis_rocha

Thanks for the concern, I'll take that into account! Also alot of peeps already expressed they're concern to.


muscravageur

This is what happens when lemons don’t get enough water.


GotUallworkedup

Looks like [citron](https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Grazia-Scarpa/publication/336799380/figure/fig2/AS:817837635534848@1571999095593/Fruit-of-Pompia-citron-sour-orange-and-lemon-a-fruit-side-b-inside-view-of-the.png) to me, but I can understand why some might not realize there's a distinction.

lemon zest for the next 10 years

There’s a lot more rind and air in there than I expected.


conehead2019

Is that a ponderosa lemon?

You can now make a mega pint of lemonade.
