low carb ready made foods and meals

Hello @ditzeeblonde I make celeriac chips. I peel and chop and place in large sandwich bag, add some olive oil and paprika ( you can add what you like, have used chilli powder or just salt and pepper). I then tie the bag and mix up, so olive oil and seasoning coats chips, when ready put on oven tray and bake. I know it's not a ready meal but delicious ( in my opinion)

Someone on another forum suggested halving it like you do, then standing it peeled side down on the board and cutting it into segments (a bit like you might do with an onion) and then removing the thin strip from the edge. I haven't tried it yet but it sounds a good idea - was this what you meant?

No, that sounds too fiddly, I cut from the top of the dome down to the chopping board with my knife flat against the celeriac to just remove a thin layer of peel in strips. The secret is to have a large (8" blade?) sharp cook's knife like the ones used by tv chefs for chopping onions.

I cut celeriac in to slices across the way (slicing off the top and bottom) and then the slices are easy to peel. I do the same with swede. Using a really sharp knife helps.

Use a sharp cook's knife not a peeler. Cut in half and stand it on the flat surface. Cut down to remove strips of peel and root.

I planted 108 celeriac plants last year and I'm down to 2-and-a-bit rows. I use your method to peel but I'm beginning to look like one now!!

I'm also from the Crocodile Dundee school of kitchen knives...
