I grow my own on my allotment.
Lancashire peeler and sharp kitchen knives should you want to slice n dice.
If you think you need power tools then your knives are too blunt my friend. |

"Put the whole thing in it’s skin in microwave, when it’s cooked just scoop it out and it’s ready mashed  "
They call this singing swede as it makes quite a noise while cooking I'm told. |

"Was it wrong to wonder why you would want to dice up someone from Sweden? 
Not shag I hope!
I had no idea he was Swedish....have you seen him around lately "
Yes I think so. Doesn’t he do the “what are your Friday night plans” thread? I assume it’s him as he usually does it! Lol |

Get a decent chefs knife
Nisbets do some decent ones at ok prices, i recommend Wusthof
Cut the top and bottom off then you have a flat surface to work from using the knife to peel the skin |

I have shit knives, but manage OK! Top and tail it so it sits on the chopping board. Halve vertically. From the cut end slice diagonally to take off the skin from the top half, twizzling as you go. Turn it over and repeat. You'll now have half a swede that's mostly peeled on the top and bottom halves. The middle bit will now peel like a potato cos it's not tethered either side.
Then cut into dice chunks.
Lovely in a stew!
And if you need a dumpling tutorial I'm your gal. Super cheap, super easy! |

"Decent knives are they key , I can’t be having people buying ready chopped vegetables, what is the world coming to ! "
To me it makes more sense and less hassle. Frozen veg is great too and has all the goodness of fresh. |

"Buy it diced. Life is too short. You’ll only end up cutting into it and it’ll skid across the counter top and take out your best tea cup. Nobody needs those bad vibes in their life.

Hahaha this made me laugh. Totally understand this, been there a few times  |

Frozen vegetables are the way forward. Except carrots and mushrooms. Frozen fruit is pretty good too. |

I am only permitted to buy swede at crimbo as it's given my boyfriend PTSD to peel and chop it following a horrific culinary incident when got a blister on the palm of his hand from holding the knife handle so tight whilst trying to cut through a swede.... I practically pissed myself laughing 
Christmas last year I came home with 2 small swedes which I thought would be helpful for him when he chops them and I am likened to a piss taking cow bag...
