Re: cutting hands at different times
Start at the top. If nothing else, it is easier.
You need to know that the bananas are "mature" - meaning that they are gestationally mature and just need the final ripening process (sort of like having a wife who is full term with her pregnancy but hasn't delivered, yet). Then they will ripen on your counter.
To do this you need to estimate their maturity. For me that is generally 6 monsth after first hand of bananas appears, but each variety can be different. Your climate also matter a lot. Bananas the fruited in April are mature about October, but may not "ripen" till April or may when the weather is warm again. Heat triggers ripening, and without it, mature bananas can "sit" for many months, but they would ripen if removed from the bunch and placed in a warm place, such as your counter.
