How can I fake firm cucumbers?!


Question: I couldn't find any firm cucumbers at the market today, so I had to buy some that were somewhat soft. I want to score them with a fork without bruising them, and I want them to be crisp for tonight. Can I fake this somehow?

Uh, don't freeze them.

Keep them in water, cold water and in the fridge, cover the container and hope for the best. Perhaps add ice cubes to the water, but do not put in the freezer.

yeah. freeze them.

I would put them into some ice water for a while.
