When cutting peppers, an easy way to get the seeds out (without all the mess) is to first cut the stem end off a quarter inch from the top. Then cut off the bottom end and stand the pepper straight up. Next, run the knife down from stem to base. Turn the knife so the blade can be inserted into the cut and then roll the pepper out onto the blade. This will allow the seeds to come right out without making a mess. Then you can go to plank, julienne, or dice.
