One of the most complete instructional videos ever. Not only tips on cutting onions, but also on other key factors such as: securing the board, not dulling the knife blade, getting rid of the leathery parts of the onion, using the claw hand approach, etc. etc. Great job!
Thank you! I'm a terrible AND lazy cook so always bought frozen pre-diced onions (even though they cost a little more), but now I'll be dicing fresh onions myself ^_^ For those of us who didn't get to learn these essential kitchen skills, this is really useful!
I watch a lot of cooking tutorials on TH-cam, and yours is hands down my favorite. Part of that is your voice and background music, which is very soothing; but more importantly is that unlike celebrity cooking videos, yours focuses on the technique, details, and practicality, instead of showmanship. In terms of trying to learn something myself so I can apply that knowledge next time I cook, your slower paced tutorials are always better. Thank you for doing these videos, and I hope your channel gets more and more successful!
Great video. I liked that zero of my time was wasted on stupid intros. Clear, intelligent presentation. Crystal clear speech and appropriate music at the right volume. I didn't know I had so much to learn about chopping onions!
PinkPandaPVP yeah, but thats kinda normal.. dont you need onions everyday? Just asking, no offence.. i am an indian and i am surprised to see that there are so many people saying that they didnt know how to do it or they would never do it..
Thank you for making this video💖💖 I love how they explained every step very well and the way they shoot this video with the right angles to look, is making it more easier for me to learn.
Thank you for this...one of many methods, but--so nice to see someone protect the sharp edge of the chef knife and use the flat backside for scraping. Thank you.
Scooping the onions with the blunt side is something that you see even the best chefs neglect. Great video. Also great for salads and sandwiches or for onion rings: keep the onion whole, peel, slice a small bit out of the middle to steady the onion on the board, then slice from end to end. Turning to the other end when you reach the middle. You’ll end up with nice onion rings.
That was super helpful - most videos do not provide such detailed information - like how to avoid dulling the knife and how to cut safely during different parts of the cutting process. Thanks!
If you are going to make a video on how to properly cut an onion, you should know how to properly cut an onion. This is not right , I am not joking or trying to be mean in anyway, this is just the wrong way to dice an onion.
To all the people saying your eyes are burning just watching this, part of that might be because of your knife. That burning sensation is a result of vapors released during cutting. If your knife is dull or sharp but not honed, you’re less cutting the onion (i.e. severing it into smaller pieces) and more crushing it. That causes a greater amount of those vapors to be released into the air, creating more of a burning sensation than the smaller cuts caused by a sharp knife.
timesaving hint: when dicing the onion, the horizontal cuts are totally unnecessary. Just do the vertical cuts (both with the grain and against the grain) as shown in the video. Horizontally, the onion layers are already separate.
When she cut the root in the slicing part, Gordon Ramsay echoes inside me, _"Root. Abseloutely crucial. Don't cut it. The onion will start to bleed and will make you cry~"_
The fact there's videos on basic life skills like this tells me I'm not the only dumbarse whose mother never taught her anything. God bless TH-cam creators. I am crippled so everything is difficult for me and I am embarassed for being here but thank you for existing !
It's not too hard, I just hate the extra end piece that never gets the perfect cuts. You cut into about 90% of the onion but you still have that last little bit that doesn't look as nice as the rest.
thanks for sharing, I've struggled too much trying to do the dice with the slicing, also great tip on cutting for cooking with the rotation, i'll have to try that too.
It may sounds crazy but I’m using onions to regrow my hair... so I had to figure out how to cut the onion in the first place! So thank you so much! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Three ways to chop onions without tears: 1) Wear swim goggles 2) Run a small fan over your work area 3) Store your onions cold - the tear-producing chemicals in a cold onion will disperse into the air much more slowly than one stored at room temperature.
Thank you. It was always a pain to cut onions evenly, so I usually degenerate into, "chop the hell up using the cleaver style -- cut the onion in half, then just chop with one hand on the handle, and the other on the top of the knife -- that often makes the sizes not ever even, and sometimes will fling the onion piece out the board.
Really liked the way of cutting onion rings. Keeping the onion stable while cutting in rings is a disturbing thing, but your simple trick will help a lot. Thanks a lot.
I just spent 5 minutes of my life watching someone chop onions
I have no regrets
best way to learn anything is to observe.
Should check out Gordan Ramsey chopping onions ect
The dude is a God of chef's

Now you know how to chop onions. Life skill.
The trick to cutting onions without crying is not forming an emotional bond

I love these types of educational videos, this one, the pan one etc. It's so helpful and easy to follow. I hope they will do more of these.
It's so satisfying to watch someone cut an onion but IRL it's emotional af.

How do you not like onions? They are so delicious when they're cooked.

If your eyes burn very fast and easily, use swimming goggles, they block all the reactions away if you know what I mean.
I do the exact same thing & my family always makes fun of me! 😂
Or you can eat gum lol
it didnt work for me u.u

Just don't cut off the root - Its what makes makes the onion bleed. The methods in the video are excellent to prevent crying.
these videos have been so helpful for me. i am actually the worst cook in the world and these have helped me with the basics

Finally, you showed the correct way to scrape up chopped food. Don't use the blade. Love your channel.
Tell me why my eyes started burning while I was watching this 😂🤦🏽♀️🥺
I thought was being dramatic but I’m not alone Lmaoooooooo
I like videos like these; tasty should do more like dicing a tomato, or just basic sauces.
Yes @tasty a good spinoff - tasty basics
This is actually a good and useful how to video. I always struggled with the cutting the rings.
Holy shit. This woman is fantastic. Perfect voice for tutorials.
That was super helpful - most videos do not provide such detailed information - like how to avoid dulling the knife and how to cut safely during different parts of the cutting process. Thanks!

I recommend seeing a doctor about vicarious burning of the eyes.

~Proceeds to start the exact same way as previous methods~
😂
The music, the simplicity, and the artistry in the cutting. Very nice.
I enjoy the burning eyes experience. It's part of the onion aroma. Love onions. I don't know what we would do without them. They're magic.
How does she do it so perfectly?!!!
practice makes perfect :)
Sharp knife! Helps a lot :)
She doesn't , this is not remotely correct
Daniel Bugden I just knew there would be someone out there , she is remotely correct there

They need onion cutting advice from "You Suck At Cooking"

Exactly! Was browsing through comments to see if anyone thinks so too. But it takes some 3D imagination to know that
When she cut the root in the slicing part, Gordon Ramsay echoes inside me, _"Root. Abseloutely crucial. Don't cut it. The onion will start to bleed and will make you cry~"_
I hate onions but still watched this whole video.

I hate when I'm cutting up onions it break and fall apart.
Cant you tell something nice like, i like your nails
Sorry my coment wasnt for you
same I could never do a nice slice for dicing because the onions always fall apart
GameOver ikr its so annoying, have to try putting it back again like a puzzle, then fail miserably and just cut them all randomly
Don't cut off the root. Thats what keeps it together.
It may sounds crazy but I’m using onions to regrow my hair... so I had to figure out how to cut the onion in the first place! So thank you so much! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
I never thought watching someone cut up an onion would be that entertaining.
I have never seen this kind of beautiful onion in my life.
I just realized that I've been dulling my knife every time I do that food picking thing. shook
That is the juiciest onion I've ever seen.
Another Tip: Wear a Diving Mask
I was wondering if this person was wearing goggles or something. I would be in tears lol
wash your onions and chew a gum
dont cut the root and it wont burn your eyes
I've tried all of those. In my professional career as a cook, I find the best method to chop onions with no tears is to keep your knife super sharp.
Matt Michalak didnt the first tip she used, they cutted the root? the part where she cutted it in half?
My eyes have started watering just by watching it
OMG SAME
