That's not true. You're supposed to be able to look away when using the knife. I'm not saying this guy is doing great. It looks wasteful and dangerous, but not constantly looking at your hands while chopping is not necessarily a bad thing. When you have proper knife skills, you won't be cutting yourself.
To me it looks like he doesn’t want to see it when he messes up. As if he knows one day he’s going to take a whole finger off, and he knows that’s gonna be gross as hell, so he looks away every time to make sure he never sees it.
This cassava variety has thick peel and the way to unpeel is to use force to separate from the root. So it doesn't need to be sharp, and most likely it is rather dull. At the end he uses the blade to actually chop, instead of slice.
Would also make sense as to why he cuts so hard to chop the ends off. Assumed he was just messing around, but if it was a dull knife you'd need to chop harder
Nah, Cassava contains enough toxic stuff that gets turned into cyanide in the body as it is (hence need for processing during cooking). Concentrations of that stuff is much higher in the skin and fibrous parts close to the skin, so it’s better to peel those off.
Its a starchy vegetable used kind of like potato. Its generally boiled into a mash and/or powdered and turned into bread, pudding, boba tea pearls, etc. Most English speakers will probably know it as tapioca.
If you're not in a desert or arid area, it's not wasted. I'm tired of people assuming stuff like this is wasted. It goes right back from where you fucking got it.
Some people in this world have chosen to live in areas that aren't antithetical to normal life. The only consequence of using or "wasting" water in those areas is a higher water bill.
You mean the used water from the sewage system goes back to the water supply system as a tap water? Seriously?
I only heard they do that in Singapore - and that's only because 1) Singapore has a severe drinking water shortage and 2) Singapore can afford the cost.
Sewage systems filter the water and return it to the source. You realize the water doesn't just disappear after going into the sewage system right?
Edit: I'm not on a sewage system, I have a septic tank buried in my yard. Leach lines extend from it and allow everything to slowly Leach into the earth. The water then travels a couple hundred feet down into the aquifer. After 4-6 feet of dirt, it's clean enough to drink. My local aquifer feeds multiple springs that lead back into the river our water comes from. Y'know natural water processes.
Every sewage system in the "first world" use dirt and charcoal to filter it clean and then return the water to the source.
The sewage treatment system in my town dumps the treated water into the ocean, not the lake our drinking water comes from, so the treated water does not go back where it came from. This is super common.
Yes, but saying we can waste clean drinking water because it eventually “re-enters the water cycle” is disingenuous. Just because the water re-enters the water cycle doesn’t mean our reservoir is replenished in a timely fashion.
We’ve had a drought for much of the past year and the lake our drinking water comes from has seen a significant drop in water level.
Too much water being pulled out for corporate purposes and too many people increasing pop in area each generation. My local lake has a Musk data center draining it
That method wastes too many materials and is quite dangerous.
It seems like almost 30% of usable materials are thrown away.
The only thing worth mentioning is its speed.

No look is great for basketball. But not the kitchen

Yeah but we are human and sometimes you mess up

The fibrous parts close to the outer skin layer always need to come off.. That part is not necessarily thinner on small cassava tubers (they can get huge, likeadult human-length) so not surprised it looks line he’s cutting off a lot.
Unless only the middle part is useable. I have no clue what a cassava is so this video either impresses me or infuriates me.

The pay is not enough
So much water waste

And this video is probably not from Singapore lol

I mean then it just evaporates and reenters the water cycle

You ever heard of a well?
I can’t type without looking at the keyboard, so this would leave me without fingers.
Don’t worry fingers grow back 😬😂
oh look, a 1m old repost bot
Age is not measured with spacial units.
yes
I've never seen it
.. but I've seen plenty of useless comments like these.
I didn't ask
yes... bots are very useful.
Brought me this video for the first time ¯\(ツ)/¯
I've seen plenty of useless comments like these.
"hey stubby how did you get your name?"
I think he's done that before.
What you can't see can't hurt you in action...
All it takes is one wrong cut
“My cassava looks like it has a fingernail…”
That method wastes too many materials and is quite dangerous.

He’s using his palm as the guide
This is dangerous
One slip and those fingers are being peeled.
What a waste of water

Do not try at home?
Dang, that prosthetic hand looks so real.
Am I aroused by this? The way he looks at the camera he knows what he is doing
The fuck is cassava.
Looks like a tuber or root vegetable, I believe it's found in south america
Tapioca
Makes really excellent fries.
This 👆🏻
Google how they harvest it, it's interesting.
They couldn't be bothered to Google what it was to begin with..
What’s the matter? I thought you were into petty condescension.
Angry elf
Bitter troll.
I looked this up. Maybe you’ll find it useful. LOL

The bandaid was holding the fingernail on, sir.
I’d love to see a white person do this!
Fast but too much waste .
