- TO START, peel the carrots using a Y-peeler (1),
making  single  strokes all the way from    the head    to  the tip
to  remove  the skin    in  as  few pieces  as  possible—this   will
help    keep    the shape   of  the carrot  more    uniform.    Next,   trim
off the blunt   end of  the carrot  (2),    as  well    as  the tip if  it  is
still    dirty.  For     rough   chunks,     cut     the     carrot  as  is.
Otherwise,  read    on.
