How to core a cucumber
Wash the cucumber under a stream of cool water.
Lay the cucumber on your cutting board in a vertical position.
The cucumber should be perpendicular to the edge of the countertop.
Slice the cucumber in half starting at the top and ending at the bottom. Place your spoon near the top end of one cucumber half so that the tip of the spoon rests on the light green flesh.
