To properly cut open vanilla beans, you will need a cutting board and a sharp knife.

Should I Throw Away Vanilla Pods After Scraping the Caviar?
After seeding the vanilla bean, you don’t want to toss out the skin. You can utilize every inch of the vanilla beans that you purchased – Grade A or Grade B. The vanilla bean still has an aroma and flavor that can be used for multiple purposes. What we recommend is dropping the pods in sugar or salt to extract the vanilla flavor.
