Guest guest Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 Thanks for the tips, a! I haven't tried using a spoon to peel ginger before. I'll give it a whirl and see if it's any easier. There are tough spots where the peeler is useless and probably the spoon will be, too, but I have a cool little curved knife that works on those. Because the pieces of ginger are so irregularly shaped, I haven't wanted to use the food processor. Maybe I'll throw all caution to the wind and try that, too. By the way, careful what you wish for, LOL! I'll tell you where to go!

Then you could use a food processor to slice it. http://allrecipes.com/advice/coll/cooking/articles/478P1.asp After that is done, you can crystallize it, wrap it in plastic, pack it in a box and send me some. I¹ll let you know if I approve. a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 Hope it works . The processor should slice it the right size. I slice radishes in mine and it does a nice job. I¹ve never had crystallized ginger, but it sounds good. a > Thanks for the tips, a! I haven't tried using a spoon to peel ginger > before. I'll give it a whirl and see if it's any easier.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 a, The thickness would be fine, but I would have less control over the shape of the pieces (as if it really matters - there are those OCD tendencies coming out again). If I slice it, the result will be varying sizes of circles for the most part; the processor would produce both circular and odd shapes with more variation in size. It wouldn't affect the taste at all, just the appearance. As my mother would say, " Oh, the tyranny of detail! " I'll tell you where to go!

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 I had to go and buy a package of this crystallized ginger since I¹ve never had it. It is pretty good, but I can see where real home made is better. BTW , the package I got has all kinds of irregular shapes, so try that processor and save your hands. The taste is more important than everything being the same size. a > Thanks for the tips, a! I haven't tried using a spoon to peel ginger > before. I'll give it a whirl and see if it's any easier.
