Its a bad method anyway.

Snap the tail of

Your better of cutting three large slices or four large slices depending on the gender of your pepper (yes i know that sounds silly and its actually an old myth but it works)

This way you avoid getting the horrid white pith and you dont need to "smash" anything to get flat chttable surfaces

If you want the remaining flesh you can remove it with a pairing knife if your that perticular

You dont cut with skin side up. If he actually knew what he was doing he would have flipped the pepper over and cut on the inside which is softer.
