There are several options for cutting pineapples. Consider each of them.

Method No. 1, “melon slices”:

With one hand holding pineapple by the leaves, with the help of a knife, completely get rid of its peel and eyes. The eyes are easiest to remove in this way, since they are built in parallel diagonal rows, cut them out using longitudinal bilateral incisions.
Next, divide the already cleaned pineapple into two equal parts - from the place where the leaves were originally to the bottom. The core should be cut and thrown away, since it is not eaten in food.
Make a cut in the form of peeled long melonables.
