[@sherylgauthier6122]

Thank you Ms.Rachel . I love all your videos. I think it will be so cool when we get you to the 1million viewers. Come on everyone let's do it. ❤❤😮

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Thank you so much for your sweet support my friend, my analytics say over 73% of my followers are not subscribed, I love what I do and I will continue to do it with a grateful heart. Love and hugs.❤

[@DorothyEvans-q3g]

Thank you for your recipes and the tips you give us. God Bless.

[@coryd2668]

I just cut the bottom off each stalk, put my whole bag of romaine lettuce from Costco the sink with cold water and rinse the full leaves off and let them drain a little on the towel, then start putting a bunch in the colander ( I have the exact same one as yours!) until they’re all dried off! Then I store them in gallon storage bags, I make sure there is no air in the bags as I’m zipping it closed and I end up with two bags of fresh clean leaves ready to go for whatever occasion is needed, tacos, salad or sandwiches and it keeps for nearly 2 weeks!! I love Romaine!!💕

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Thank you for sharing my friend. ❤️

[@rdl8878]

I love how she says ‘see’. She’s so cute.

[@mluckynikko77]

I agree with the previous comment wholeheartedly! I am 62 years old and I’ve never been taught how to easily prepare Romain lettuce! You’re a great teacher and I love your enthusiasm. Thank you for being here!

[@edro3838]

The little things make a difference, attention to detail. Nicely done 👍

[@loishunt2347]

That was a really great thing you did! Not everyone knows the basic things. ❤

[@vgarcia9724]

Include Rachel's kitchen hacks to your upcoming cookbook.😉

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Glad you think so! Blessings my friend. ❤️

[@NolaDeb]

Thank You Rachel! 👍 The Salad Spinner is one of my favorite kitchen gadgets. Drys the lettuce really well and keeps the lettuce so crisp. I add salt to the water and let it soak. To help with the cleaning process. Pour out the salt water and rinse with clean water. Then Spin, spin, spin. ❤

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Thank you for sharing my friend, I love the spinner too.❤

[@rp1740]

You just taught me a different way to cut the Romaine! Thanks for the tip!

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Glad I could help! Thank you so much. ❤️

[@wallybeaver-nl8bq]

Excellent. I'm 66 years old and I eat a lot of Romaine. I love this cutting. 👍❤️ Blessings to you, "Your Ron" and your family, always. Rebecca, WV

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Thank you so much for your comment Rebecca, I appreciate it my friend. ❤️

[@estellagarcia9910]

You remind me so much of my Mom. She loved cooking and teaching us,when we were ready, i loved watching her cook and you do alot the same as her. Today you said chalupas and made me think of her. No one calls them chalupas anymore. She was from Corpus Christi. She had your patience and kindness.

[@lorene1313]

Love the way you cut that up. So much easier. It's my new way because I use to hate making a salad. It took too long to take apart & wash every leaf. Thanks for this great tip.

[@rachelcookswithlove]

You're welcome my friend I hope it helps you alot.❤

[@beautifulrose8619]

Same. I was taught that method. I just passed on making salad because it took so so long. I love this way.

[@janicegreenwood6801]

Rachel I love watching you; you’re a wonderful cook and I adore your personality.

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Thank you so much! ❤️❤️

[@vallis1469]

You are so talented. Simple and easy is such a fabulous way to teach old dogs, like me, new tricks! Love ya.

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Aw! I appreciate your comment my friend, love a hugs.❤

[@meggie423]

Nothing new here

[@bz3548]

Hi Rachel😊, thank you for the tip. I wonder if you would like to teach us how to cut different cuts of vegetables like carrots, potatoes, onions, etc. Sticks, cubes, etc. Believe me most people don’t know how and you’re the perfect teacher. Just make sure the camera is close to the veggies so we can better see the cutting. Please think about it🙏😊. Thank you.

[@mollysmith6055]

Thank you, Rachel. Glad to know I've been doing it right for a long time.

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Wonderful! I appreciate your comment my friend. ❤️

[@chocojavachip]

Would love to see other videos about cutting onions and tomatoes, too!

[@yvonnedusan6522]

Great lesson learned on how to cut this lettuce, always room for new beginnings even at 77 🙋

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you. ❤️

[@debihediger4760]

Thank you, that way of cutting the romaine is perfect!!!

[@rachelcookswithlove]

You’re welcome 😊❤️

[@dianes9416]

What a nice new way for me to cut my favorite romaine lettuce. Thank you lovely lady. You are great .

[@rachelcookswithlove]

You are so welcome, blessings. ❤️

[@cynthiamarshall5490]

Thanks Rachel. You are absolutely by far the best teacher. I love learning from you.

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Wow, thank you! Blessings my friend. ❤️

[@Toni-z9n]

I seldom eat any other lettuce. I'm delighted to see this method. Thank you so much. I am almost fanatic with soaking my produce in vinegar/soda water before storing. It keeps it fresh twice as long and bonus...it's clean and ready for use when you need it.❤

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Wonderful! I like that method too. Blessings my friend. ❤️

[@jogozc]

Excellent Lesson~Clear and To the point: Never knew how to treat Romaine. Thank you 🎉

[@dianaallen6553]

I love your recipes ❤

[@Texan_Gal]

Ms. Rachel always knows what’s up in the kitchen ❤

[@treeannie8831]

Always a thumbs up with Rachel! Love everything you do! ❤❤❤

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Thanks so much, your support of my channel means alot to us. ❤️😊

[@rachelmoser4422]

Thank you Rachel for all your tips and tricks!! If you use a plastic knife and not a metal or stainless steel knife your lettuce won't turn brown on you. :)

[@sarahsosa729]

That's true. Remember the lettuce keeper bowl from Rubbermaid I still use the plastic knife that was inside. Sometimes with a home party the rep would give away on if you could guess her question right. I have 2 of them. ❤❤😊😊

[@BarbaraCaney]

@@sarahsosa729Hi - I’m thinking you are referring to a Tupperware Party (??) I had many “home” parties 😊😊

[@floralopez337]

This is a good lesson! I usually just chop it up so crazy like! Thank you for showing me how to cut up this lettuce the right way! Gracias amiga hermosa! God bless you girl! Sending you a huge hug my friend!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

How simple and yet I couldn't figure that out on my own. Thank you Rachel.

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much.❤️

[@lindabarnes2497]

Thank you so much for the hack. I have always hated cutting romaine. You have made it quicker and easier. I always buy pre washed lettuce.

[@kathyjohnson1133]

Hi Rachel. Hope u are doing OK. I eat a salad almost every night. I just was going in the kitchen and cut up some romaine lettuce. I am going to try this way. Have a great evening and Thank U.😊😊😊

[@Syllie_gal]

Ms. Rachel...I so enjoy all of your videos. Thank you!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Glad you like them! I appreciate your comment my friend. ❤️

[@yackablejohnson1485]

I worked in produce for 6 years at a major grocery store chain. I've seen dirt, spiders, bees, flys, and more in Romain. If you aren't pealing your leaves off before cutting, you never know what you're eating.

[@latitiaboston1456]

Exactly! I would never chop before washing.

[@OneWildTurkey]

If you're using a large salad spinner like in her video, you can fill it half way with water and put small batches at a time in the spinner, then ruffle through the pieces and thoroughly rinse off all the dirt and junk. Then pour off the water and spin it dry. It works very well.

[@Hummingbirds2023]

LExactly my point, rinse before you use it! I cut the end however much I want. Then separate the leaves but the leaves into a colander rinse each leaf, then shake the colander let the water drain out, put the bunch together and chop small slices, I use romaine all the time for my salads. My mom would fill her sink half way and separate her leaves in the sink and soak them, she made the best prettiest salads. Miss you Mom! ❣️

[@lfader]

I get paranoid w recalls avoid romaine and miss it Like alfalfa sprouts the bacteria risk you don't even see them in produce anymore, Romaine is a dynamic delicious lettuce iceberg meh

[@mvl6827]

Flies fly out, spiders, run out. Bees mmmm , didn't think they make honey from lettuce....

[@TMM230]

Rachel, I just love watching your channel. I learn something new every time! Thank you so much!😊

You are so welcome! So happy I can help my friend. ❤️

Love this version for cutting. Thanks Rachel. 👍🙏💕

[@rachelcookswithlove]

You are so welcome!❤️

[@richardvtagle]

Happy Monday my dear Rachel! It's funny that you're cutting romaine as I just made us a Ceasar salad cutting up romaine lettuce just the way you do. I'm sure your viewers are going to love the kitchen tips you share as they help make our kitchen experiences wonderful ones. Wishing you and your Ron a week filled with bountiful blessings and glorious joy. As always, get ready to catch all the love I'm sending in your direction my sweet friend.

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Thank you so much my faithful friend, I bet your Caesar salad was delicious, The days are hot and moving along so fast, my Ron and I love cold salads, they are quick to prepare and cutting up the lettuce fast helps alot. I hope you and your Johnny are doing great. Keep cool an know that you hold a special place in my heart. My Ron and I are so grateful to have you as a friend. ❤

[@anthonylucchese6254]

Thanks Rachel for this easy and convenient way to cut the nuttritious romaine lettuce. With all due respect, I find quite often there are discolored overripe wilted leaves and I have to check each one before cutting them in 1/2 inch pieces with my hand . I then put them all in a bowl of cold water for 5-7 minutes and squish them to clean them . Then I drain them. Sometimes I go through 3 rinsings of the cut up romaine. Your way though is excellent if you know the romaine lettuce is clean. Thanks again for this excellent tip on cutting romaine. Every supper meal should have salad and you make it easy to prepare it. Anthony Joseph Lucchese

[@angeladiaz7746]

Thank you for sharing something so easy that has always been difficult for me ❤

[@anneliapreiss2159]

I'm so happy I discovered Rachel. And thank goodness she doesn't peel 10 potatoes slowly like some other boring videos.... she's great and informative 😊

[@ninacanadian]

I have followed the tear/don’t cut rule for over 40 years. I think metal was the reason the brown occurred where it was sliced. High quality knives won’t do that. Now I remember the plastic knife marketing of the 90s LOL Looking forward to showing my kids your 1/2 slice then thirds. Needed this lesson TY

[@aubreytomajian2714]

Your demonstrations are always clear and done well. I need to buy romaine lettuce next time. Thank you for the video.

[@laurakrajnikburick2731]

I love it when you say "see" , you're so lovely. ❤

[@sueoneal2249]

That's how I cut it! I need one of those spinners.

[@kikomartin-pr]

I’ve never bought romaine separately only in premade salads. I will be buying one now. Thank you.

[@DorothyWells-z1m]

It’s so happy to have seen this video. I have always struggled with romaine lettuce and this method is perfect!!! Thank You. ❤. Love all of your videos!!!

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Its my pleasure and I'm glad it was helpful! ❤️

[@vgarcia9724]

Rachel, you have the best recipes and great kitchen tips. I have used so many of them. Thank you so much !!❤❤❤

[@k.summerfield4866]

My 86 year old dad has a salad every day using Romaine lettuce. I'll be sure to share your tips. You're a pro, Rachel with sound advice I trust! ❤

Thank you so much for your sweet comment ❤️❤️❤️

[@barbarabeesley7451]

Thank you so much for sharing this great romaine cutting video! How easy it is! You always teach me something new! Now that you have shared this technique....I will NEVER buy another romaine salad kit again!!!! Thank you so much, Rachel!!!❤

Washing after using your cutting method is pure genius born from many years of experience. Much Luv 🥰

[@user-ix8bx6ek3t]

I like the way you cut the salad.....makes sense to me. Thank you

[@rachelcookswithlove]

You’re welcome 😊❤️

[@sr.bettyannmartinez8100]

Thank you Rachel for showing us shortcuts in the kitchen! God bless you!

[@catacombcatholic5571]

Rachel, you are the best teacher! THANK YOU! I'm going to look for a spinner too!

[@mssixty3426]

I agree with you about slicing up with a sharp knife vs. tearing by hand. I store mine differently since I don't have room in my fridge for that large container. But it all works out. Thank you for your efforts to bring us these videos! Always excellently done 👏🏼

[@Kim-ek7xy]

I'm going to try this technique. Romaine is my favorite lettuce, always have some in the fridge. I like that you wash it after it's cut, I separate the leafs then wash them and dry. Love your videos!

[@rosebojorquez1237]

Thankyou, I usally wash each leaf, dry each leaf, then tear each leaf. Your way makes sense to me and is much quicker!❤😊

[@MaNkYmInX]

Great tip! I never thought about cutting it in half, then another half. Going to do this from now on!👍👍👍

[@freewaybaby]

How PERFECT!! I wish I could give you 10 thumbs up for this one! I never thought about cutting Romaine lengthwise like that. Thank you…I’ll never cut it “the old way” again! One thing you may try that I learned from my mother (who was a University of Texas home economics major in 1942) was never to cut lettuce with a metal knife; THAT’S why it turns brown. I use a plastic lettuce knife AND also have started using it to cut avocados. You still have to take normal precautions with avocado, but it does help. 😊

[@mljs9245]

I needed to see this. I enjoy salads but hate doing the cutting each day. Now I know a good way to have it cur to use over 2-3 days. Thanks!

[@joycelawrence1396]

Hi Rachel, I love this cutting method. And I like washing it after cutting it. Brilliant! Thanks for sharing this method for all of us to learn from.

[@snafu8203]

Finally, a simple demonstration. Thank you!

[@annsikes5846]

I've never thought of cutting and washing Romaine that way. Game changer! Now I've got to buy a spinner.

[@MMGARC]

Thankyou, Rachel - you're the FIRST person who gave that type of tutorial....and I'm so happy to see your great idea. I've never been happy with the way I just pick at it with my fingers to get pieces off (because everyone told me NOT to use a knife) I think I'll be more likely to have salads when I see that back of ready made salad in the bag.

[@donna5528]

I am so glad to learn this. Makes me want to buy romaine lettuce and try this method. Thank you for this information. Love your videos and personality.😊❤

[@judysadowsky2186]

Hi Rachael, you look beautiful. I think I like the way you cut Romaine lettuce. Thanks for sharing.

[@donnah3910]

As always Miss Rachel, I learned something new today from you! Thank you 😊

[@carolwatson9365]

Love it. Thank you for this tip. I have always just cut in 1" pieces, I will now try cutting in half and again.

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Thank you so much. Happy it helped ❤️

[@annasmith8177]

Thanks. I had always done it by hand, but I will use this method from now on.

[@jayned9719]

I always tear the lettuce but as of today no more. Going to cut my romaine shortly for dinner 😊. Thanks. Love the idea of leaving the spinner in the fridge, going to try that too

[@pattyrobinette7048]

I've been doing it wrong all these years. Thank you for this amazing video! ❤

[@evelynedeen]

I love how you cut the lettuce, Rachel, and I'm going to do that. Something I learned is that if your lettuce is a bit on the wilty side (or even if it isn't), after you rinse it, put ice and water into the bottom of the salad spinner. Place the basket with the lettuce in there for 15 minutes or so. Dump the ice and water, and then spin for cold, crispier greens!

[@theresacontreras9110]

Thank you so much , I love your recipes ❤❤❤

[@ronwatson4902]

My family loves Romaine. Thanks for the tip.

[@dqueenb6692]

I cut romaine lettuce, too, and rinse then spin it dry. It’ll keep for several days in an airtight container in the fridge. Love your videos!

[@Diana-yx8dh]

Okay! Good tip Ms. Rachel. Thanks! Have a blessed day!

[@ladikmk]

Romaine is my favourite lettuce. My sweet dog loves the end as a special treat, and sometimes I just give her a whole leaf or two. I will definitely try cutting it your way. Never too old to learn a new kitchen trick. Thanks Rachel!

[@rosaliefunk1629]

My favorite little dog loved romaine lettuce. When he heard me break it to make salad, he would run into the kitchen so I could give him the hard parts. Whenever I use romaine lettuce, I think of my sweet boy.

[@annettemiranda4803]

Great job! That lettuce was beautiful! God bless you! Thank you 😊

[@karma13612]

[@ericbaca9744]

Love the technique, makes the task easier it seems. Diggen the spinner, have one at work, makes a messy Job simpler and less of a mess to clean up... 👍🏼👌🏼🤔🤣

[@barbarabullington128]

I love romaine lettuce! I always buy it cut up in bags but it doesn't really taste fresh. I started to buy those romaine hearts but wasn't sure what to do with them. Thank you so so much for this very informative and much needed video!🤗❤
