6. To easily separate the cabbage head, you need to cut out the core. Carefully peel off the leaves one by one. If it's difficult to remove them from raw cabbage, bring a pot of water to a boil, insert a large fork into the cabbage and dip it into the boiling water for a couple of minutes. The leaves will start separating on their own; just help remove them with another fork.
