To Prepare Cucumbers for Cooking and Serving  Trim, peel and either slice, quarter or halve. Drain well before serving. To prepare for raw cucumber dishes, score skin with a fork or scoring knife and slice evenly, or use a mechanical slicer. For raw salads, salt cucumber slices well, place in colander and weight down to draw off liquid.
