LOL: it's kinda sad that I had to resort to youtube to "figure out" how to slice a bagel. But I come here for virtually all other 'how to' matters, so why not slicing a bagel? Thanks, it works perfectly and I didn't slice my hand. REALLY: thanks!
The past is gone, the future has yet to be, but set your focus for the now, and aim for the center. May your travels through time be marked with evenly cut bagels.
Seeing that you lack a proper knife, I can only assume that you must be in England. I'm sorry this video's verbiage isn't applicable to you. I will do my best to explain it in a properly English way, using familiar colloquialisms. Ahem. It's elementary: Simply divide crosswixt the beholed boiled and baked torus with the paltry polymer implement in a robust ring-around-the-rosie fashion, being cautious to direct it meticulously with your silly sausage fingers halfway betwixt the thatch top and the bummy-boot, as you ever so slightly cleft the crust and Oliver twist it roundabout until Bob's your uncle.
@@JohnSmith-mf6tq Perfect, honestly. The more the merrier. Unfortunately in the US a lot of us weren’t taught food prep skills or cooking in general, and your teaching style I can see resonates with a lot of people. It reminds me of the channel ‘you suck at cooking’ but way more grounded. Like an uncle teaching us. I will never forget how to cut a bagel after only one watch!
No. The safest and easiest way to cut a bagel is a two-step process: Start with the bagel lying flat, a serrated bread knife in your dominant hand. Position the knife parallel to your cutting surface and make a careful horizontal cut that goes about halfway through the bagel. Without removing the knife, stand the half-cut bagel up on its side, holding it by the top end to keep it steady. Work the knife down towards the cutting board, cutting the rest of the way through the bagel.
I never made any claims about the safety of the technique, but if I may critique the technique you've presented; It's harder to aim for the center when you're not looking inline with your cut - less safe. Having to apply force horizontally to the knife while simultaneously moving it back and forth and compensating for the pull of gravity - less safe. Presumably you're holding the bagel steady with your off-hand, where the digits might slip down into the path of the cut - less safe. Your off-hand has to apply more force to the bagel to stabilize it from the rocking (caused my the sawing motion), and the horizontal push - more force of the hand pushing towards the cut line - less safe. Try aiming for the center and get back to me with how safe you feel with that technique.
@JohnSmith-mf6tq Bro thank you so much for this quick bagel life hack. I tried it out this morning on my Blueberry bagel, and it worked. I used a butter knife to do it. I didn't cut too deep in the center. Eventually, the bagel came apart. In 2 perfect halves before i plopped them in the toaster.
Aim. For. The. Center.
These four words changed my life.
LOL: trouble is, if you aim for the center, you won't have anyone to vote for.
This was intense
It was the surgical gloves for me
@Aqdas Boy Aren't you glad you did, though?

Damn I spent my entire life just lazily cut bagels from the side without looking and getting uneven sides
It's never too late to Aym Fore Teh Sinter.
just wanted to update you. my cheese bagel is beautifully cut. LOL
Wow, sooo beautifully done!! Thank you for this.
Symmetry is beauty. Create your own symmetry, by aymeeng phore exactly the distance that exists halfway to nowhere (th'scentera).
Sliced open my thumb the other day, this video saved my life
From now on, you'll know to aim away from your thumb and for the center.
Tysm no joke I couldn't cut a bagel I had to look it up! Liking and subbing!
One of my first jobs was at a Jewish deli and I never knew this. Thanks JS!
This video changed my life
Life is a lot like oil. You gotta change it every 3000 bagels or so.
This video saved my life.
Thank you!!!! Now I can finally have perfect bagel
I watvhed this video 2 ywars ago and it still helps me to this day
The past is gone, the future has yet to be, but set your focus for the now, and aim for the center. May your travels through time be marked with evenly cut bagels.
I’m getting war flash backs to Drew’s video
Drew who?
@@JohnSmith-mf6tq drew gooden
You get 10 messups. 11 if you're brave enough
tried this now i’m in the hospital
Cut my hand multiple times but I got some decent halves 10/10
Either you put your hand in the center, or your weren't aymeeng fohr te sentur. Try again, but slower.
"AIM FOR THE CENTER!"
You know, sometimes, I aim slightly off to the side, just to make people think I'm losing it, and then I get right back to the center and go hard.
Wait where do I aim for again 🤔

Aim. For. The center
Thank you so much
Thank you 😭 I’m literally crying rn bc I can’t cut a bagel right lol
Amaze your friends and family with this one simple technique!

No need to cut like the Konami code, just aim for teh centrah.
Thanks John :) How do you cut with a plastic knife tho 😅

You know, I've been thinking about making one for how to peel a carrot, but I'm certainly open to suggestions.
