Do this
After cutting daikon or potatoes, run the knife along each sharp edge. Shave off a thin strip all the way around.
Why it works
Sharp corners rub against each other in a simmering pot. They crumble and cloud the broth. Rounded edges stay smooth for hours.
When to skip it
Skip it for quick stir-fries and soups under 15 minutes. The pieces will not break that fast.
