First, don’t be a monster. Rinse your strawberries under cool water, but do not soak them. Strawberries are like little sponges for water; too much bath time makes them soggy before you even start.
Next, grab a clean kitchen towel and gently pat them dry. This isn’t just for show—dry strawberries are easier to grip and cut cleanly. Trust the pat. It’s the quiet hero of the cutting board.
