step by step turkey carving instructions

A couple of weeks ago I got a call from my dad. He had phoned because he had just watched one of the Thanksgiving episodes of Fork You and wanted to give me a little advice. The piece of wisdom? Never offer to show someone how to do something on camera if, in fact, you don't know how to do it. The thing I didn't know how to do? Carve a turkey!

I agreed with him and explained that I didn't know that I was going to be asked to show the folks at home how to carve a turkey, it just sort of happened. However, now that I've been in that situation, I'm now making a point of learning how to carve a turkey. Thankfully, the New York Times printed a helpful article today with step-by-step instructions on the best way to carve up your Thanksgiving bird. Their tip? Do the carving away from the table in the kitchen for best results.

It's Sunday, y'all, and if I actually had a big family for whom to cook, I'd be starting a roast in the oven right now. Of course, it's a while before I get to the bg family part, but at least I can prepare myself.

Associated Content has a helpful piece on how to carve various types of meat. Now, I realize that many of you already know how to carve a roast turkey, a roast pork loin, a roast lamb shoulder, but let this just be a little reminder for you, and a new lesson for the rest of us. The three major takeaways: 1) have the proper equipment, 2) cut across the grain, and 3) keep a warmed serving platter.

A well-cut ham should be as symmetrical as an accordion, but carving up the Easter centerpiece isn't always the easiest. task. RecipeTips offers a detailed guide to carving ham, showing how to carve up different cuts of ham ranging from a whole ham to a butt ham, while Jones Dairy Farm also has a list of videos for cutting up the meat. More knife action is available on Cooking.com, which offers an instructional video on both preparing and cutting the meat. Tips recommended by these sites include using a very sharp thin knife and letting the ham cool 10 minutes before cutting so the juice is redistributed.

Food Porn: Watermelon carvings

We've seen strangely shaped watermelons and monster watermelons, but we have yet to see watermelon carving of the magnitude found in this online gallery. The horse and cyclist, shown above, are two of my favorites, though the skiier and Taj Mahal are very impressive. Watermelons are natural canvases for food art due to their large size and thick but easily carved rind. The fact that they are colorful is an added bonus. With a sharp knife and a steady hand, it does not seem like it would be that difficult to carve a basic pattern into a watermelon - after all, thousands of children carve into pumpkins every year, and watermelon carving does not require you to gut the fruit before starting.

Russian banana art

What you see here is one of about 20 entries of banana art on a Russian website called Ifun.ru. I did a babelfish translation of the site, but that really didn't shed too much light on it. Basically, it just looks like people drawing on bananas by bruising the fruit or, in some cases, using ink. The face pictured here is one of my favorites, although I do like the ninja banana and the one that has the orange and banana knock-knock joke etched into it. Before you check out Ifun, be warned that the range of subject matter is pretty broad—as in everything from erotica to page after page of kitten photos.
