How Do You Know Best Way To Slice An Almond

How do you slice an almond?

Sliced almonds can quickly add crispiness, protein and flavor to baked food, salads and meats. But it is very difficult to slice almonds at home, today I will teach you the best way to slice almonds.This approach is to prepare for the slice by removing the skin of the almonds and softening the meat of the almonds. Now let me tell you step by step.

Firstly,you need to prepare all the ingredients and tools, including whole almonds, water, colander, sharp knives, and cutting boards. Prepare these things and start making them.

1.Blanching

Rub the almonds to remove the skin. Blanching is a method of first using hot water and then softening the almond skin with cold water. When blanching almonds, stop the heating process quickly to avoid cooking the almonds. Place the almonds in a colander on the sink and rinse with a pot of boiling water. Then, rinse quickly with ice cold water.

2.Peeling

After the blanching is done, the almonds can be peeled. This process requires the back and forth movement of the fingers to wipe off the skin on the almonds. Although skin removal is an optional step, peeling can help soften the almonds for better sectioning and a more comfortable texture when using almonds in the formula. Therefore, I suggest that it is better to peel the skin better.

3.Heating

It is necessary to heat the almonds before slicing for better slicing. The first thing is to let the almonds dry completely and then put them in a microwave for 30 seconds until warm but not hot.

4.Slicing

After above all steps, then we can slice the almonds. Firstly transfer the almonds to the cutting board. And then slice the almonds vertically with a sharp knife. When slicing, pry your fingertips under the knuckles to avoid accidentally cutting your fingers on such a small surface.

 

Finished all above steps,then you can get all sliced almonds.This best way to slice almonds is suitable for when we are at home. But in the market, almond slices are too cumbersome to make by hand. On the market, people slice almonds by using a professional almond slicing cutting machine. The almond slicing cutting machine can slice almonds quickly and efficiently, and the process of slicing will not cause damage to the structure of the almonds themselves. The almonds after slicing are of good shape and uniformly thick and thin.
