Methods for cutting potato slices without sticking include: knife selection, fast cutting, cutting angle, cooling treatment, soaking in water before cutting, using a slicer, etc.
1. Knife selection
Using sharp knives, such as sharp kitchen knives, can effectively reduce the friction between potatoes and knives and reduce the possibility of sticking to the knife.
2. Rapid cutting
Adopt the rapid cutting method to quickly penetrate the potato with the blade, and then cut with stable force to avoid moving the knife back and forth during the cutting process.
3. Cutting angle
Try different cutting angles, such as oblique cutting or vertical cutting, to see which method is more effective in reducing knife sticking.
4. Cooling treatment
Put the potatoes in the freezer for a period of time, about 15 to 20 minutes. Freezing makes the potatoes slightly firmer, making them less likely to stick when cutting.
5. Wet the blade with water before cutting
Gently wet the blade before cutting. Moisture can reduce the friction between potatoes and the knife during the cutting process, thereby reducing the sticking phenomenon.
6. Use a slicer
If you have one, you can use a kitchen slicer to cut the potato slices. This will cut the potatoes more evenly and reduce sticking problems.
