With just a few simple steps, you can easily remove jackfruit gum completely from your knife. Master these tips and you’ll never have to worry about sticky knives again when enjoying this delicious fruit.
During the summer, jackfruit becomes a popular and beloved treat. However, the sticky gum from the fruit can be a nuisance when it gets on your hands or knife. Many people struggle with cleaning their knives after cutting jackfruit.
Here are some quick and effective methods to clean jackfruit gum off your knife:
Heat Treatment
If your knife is covered in jackfruit gum, simply hold it over a flame for about 1-2 minutes. Then, use a cloth or paper towel to wipe the softened gum away, leaving your knife as good as new.
Plastic Wrap
Similar to the trick of wrapping your knife when cutting sticky rice cakes, you can wrap your blade in plastic wrap before cutting jackfruit. Once you’re done, simply roll the plastic around the knife and dispose of it. However, this method may dull your knife over time.
Oil Treatment
To reduce the stickiness of jackfruit gum, apply a thin layer of cooking oil to your knife before cutting. After you’re done, you can also apply oil and scrub the knife clean. Use a cotton ball or plastic bag to avoid any cuts during the cleaning process.
Rice Trick
An easy trick is to rub your hands and knife on rice grains for about 2-3 minutes before and after cutting jackfruit. The rice starch will reduce the stickiness of the gum, making it easier to clean later.
Freeze It
Another method is to place your knife in the freezer for about an hour. Once the jackfruit gum is frozen solid, simply remove it from the blade.
