Pineapple preparation

  • The first step is to remove the crown from the pineapple, to do this we place it horizontally on a surface, grab the crown with one hand and the pineapple with the other and turn the hand of the crown to detach it.
    We can place a cloth or glove to avoid scratching the hand with the crown.
