how do you de seed a pomegranate?

Question

I am looking for the least messy way to de seed a pomegranate, my kitchen looks like a murder site.

Answer 1

Cut it in half, put the cut side on the palm of your hand, keep your finger tips out of the way and whack the pomegranate with a heavy spoon. The seeds will drop out in your hand.

Answer 2

The cleanest way I have found is to cut the pom. in to quarters.
Fill a large bowl with water and seed the pom. under the water.

The seeds will sink and and the white bits will float. Also your hands and clothes will not get any red stain on them.
All you have to do is strain the water and you can eat the yummy fruit.

Answer 3

The best way is to slice the pomegrante in half and hold half in the palm of your hand with the pips facing down, then open your fingers a bit, and tap the top of the pomegrante on top the pips will then drop through the gaps in yur fingers into a bowl, i learnt this off Jamie Oliver good eh?
