Remember That Post About Cutting Tomatoes Along the Valleys So the Lobes Separate Cleanly?

Turns out it works for peppers, too.
See the creases in the shape of the pepper here?
If you cut them right in there,
You get a piece free of seeds and very little light tissue.

I make four cuts on my peppers. Hold the pepper upright, cut straight down each side, leaving just the stem and core in my hand. No seeds on the usable pieces and, depending on the pepper and how far from the stem I cut down from, very little membrane.

That’s what I do also. Sometimes 3 cuts if the shape works for it

Cut off the bottoms & tops, then vertical cuts down each side.

I just cut the top and bottom then roll.

I find I get less membrane when I hold it vertically and carve the segments off similar to supremeing an orange. It also preserves a little more of the flesh at the top and bottom by not topping and tailing it.

I cut around the top to pull the stem and seeds out. Then I cut it in half. Once in half, I'll run my knife along the inside down the membrane and end the cut my taking a chunk out of the bottom. Maybe there's a better way, but it works form me.

I cut my peppers the same way the dirty hippy does.

I just cut the top off and pull any seeds and white parts off with my hands. Quarter and then slice from the outside. I find that the pepper stays in place better and a sharp knife has no trouble cutting skin first.

I saw Isaac Toups do this in a video.
Works pretty well.
You get less of the pepper, but it’s pretty quick and you can get the rest of it quickly too if you really want.

The roll cut is what all the T.V chefs do because it looks fancy and what is taught in culinary school because it's what classical French chefs did back in the day.
It's real cute but such a big waste of time. The pepper keeps wanting to roll up on itself and there's not a good safe place to hold the pepper. Look at the gif. That process is slow and cumbersome. Also, seeds inadvertently fall on the pepper and you still need to remove the ribs.
After knocking off the tops and bottoms, stand the pepper up and cut as close to the flesh as possible, focusing on removing the ribs vertically. No waste. The tops and bottoms get processed along with the rest of the pepper and the ribs, seeds and stem base are all attached, making it easier to throw away.
Trust me, I do this for a living and this is the most efficient and cost effective way to cut a pepper.
