How to chop an onion?
Yeah, I know you’ve been doing it for many, many years just like me.
When I learned this technique changed my onion chopping world.
Onions have a root end and a stem end.
We’re going to cut a small section off the stem end.
Then we’re going to cut through the middle the root end.
Peel off the first layer of the onion in the skin.
This will give us a clean and stable onion to chop.
Take a sharp chef’s knife.
Imagine slicing into the onion at the intervals of the size of your dice that you’re looking for.
Very carefully slice into the onion with my hand on top of the anion, away from the knife edge to almost to the end of the root, stopping just short of it.
And you’ll do this 3, 4, 5, 6 times depending on the size of the dice.
And then using the same estimate of about a 1/4 inch I’m going to cut downwards through my onion just short of the route end and then cut across my cuts and there is my very fast dice.
No cuts, no blood, no wounds, just quickly diced onion.
When you master this, you’ll be cutting onions much faster than you ever did before.
Hey, that’s it.
Thanks for watching.
