You've Been Slicing Your Apples All Wrong

You've been doing it wrong. All of it. Everything you do in your kitchen -- wrong. You could be slicing, dicing, pitting and peeling your produce harder, better, faster, stronger.

The most recent mistake you've been making involves the apple. You probably slice this fruit by cutting into the top, where the stem emerges.
