I learned this from street cooking in india! They do this but the speed is actually insane
Ohhhh 😯💜

Hdjh
Hi. They
Diarrhea cooking. 😂
They know how to do it and explain it.
So what is the purpose of horizontal cutting?that makes uneven dice cutting
they always make it seem easy. the onion doesn't stay still and it breaks apart most of the time
You need a sharp knife, that's all there is to it.
@@Regexionknife is sharp. Still happens experienced cook
@@solosamuraiz1526 naw you using shitty knives then because with a decent and sharp knife it glides right through and everything stays in place.
@@solosamuraiz1526 Experience is worthless if you learn nothing from it.
@@solosamuraiz1526Still need a sharp knife. Also keeping the blade straight and letting the knife do the work is necessary.
As a local chef. I don't need techniques, I need the sharpest knife
Agree to a certain extent this video is terrible
im not even a chef but i can cut onion easily and way much better than her with my super sharp knife😁
@@hallson3437 maybe you are just a bad fucking cook, this is a perfect technique
Remember to tuck fingertips in before chopping the onion
How I wished they had a proffesional knife and not some upbeat one with a heel that ends.
I used to do the horizontal cuts, but like, the onion already has them in the layers😅
Somehow, despite knowing this technique and personally using it myself for many years, it still manages to amaze me when I see it used. Instantly subscribed :)
Why the horizontal cuts if the onyo is already "presliced" inside?
because it’s not presliced both ways
if you cut one way but not the other, then you get little 'onion shields' on the ends
And palm the awkward piece like a magician😅
I've done it hundreds of times. Each time I have cried. Doesn't matter if the root is there. If the onion has a lot of juice. Your eyes will release twice that amount😂
I truly think I'll listen to chef jean pierre. Pro chef for 50 years. I recommend him.
Exactly what I was looking for! And the way she cut thos was not professional what a donkey (Chef Ramsey)
I could not agree more.
The horizontal cuts are superfluous
No, they aren't. Without this cuts the pieces gets uneven.
@@oooooo-ji2nn wrong th-cam.com/users/shortsLrTZwN3VH0c?si=gLcKJmmgfo5q_XhH
@@oooooo-ji2nnutter rubbish. Horizontal cuts add nothing but danger to the operation.
@@bockersjv You are wrong.
@@oooooo-ji2nn You clearly don’t understand the structure of an onion. Besides even if it did make a difference it would be tiny and not worth cutting with a sharp knife in the direction of your hand. In every other cut a slip would send the knife into the board. The horizontal cut slip sends the knife directly into the hand. Common sense to avoid surely?
Radial cuts >>>> vertical and horizontal cuts
Having a nice sharp knife is the key.
This is not quite how Chef Jean Pierre does it...
Were becoming a chef with this one
Perfect dice every time
Now I'm professional 💀
thanks! i haven’t lost a fight with an onion since 👍
I started cutting onions, I was wondering why I didn’t have watery eyes while cutting them, but I guess that explains why
Thank you
Yes I saw this before! I forgot exactly how I did it- thank yku so much beautiful video
Simple and clear, thank you
very wonderful
Very good
Think you
My sister taught me this, it’s sooo much easier. I love it
I know it when I work at kitchen
Culinary school taught me to cut the dirty root off leaving the onion in tact not to cut through the dirty end.
good idea of chopping onion😮
You are great 😊❤
This is how I've been chopping the onion my entire life, don't remember anyone teaching this to me. I guess I'm qualifying as a cooking chef now.
"Go throught it 6 or 7 times"
Goes through it 12 times...
This is how I have always cut an onion.
*dice an onion. It seems like a semantic but there's like 5 ways to cut an onion all with different purposes
superb 😊
Never understood the need to slice into onion horizontally. It breaks up regardless if you do that step or not.
Nice.
What's in your hand?
Completely, right.
What about the end bit by the root? I don’t want to waste so much of it. I usually chop that too but then it gets so messy
What is that your holding. Kindly show us how to deal with that end point of the onion.
This is a great video if you want to learn the wrong way
nice❤
Wahoo good tiqnique
I often have trouble removing the skin in a timely manner, what is the secret to that?
That knife movement is scary
Could you please make the voiceover match the visual?
AMEN 🙏
Everyone is doing it that way lmao
Gordon Ramsay has a nice video about this.
I always thought that how beginner cut onions
OR. you could also use a wet towel or cloth -small one can work too , and keep it near you when you cut the onion , it will absorb the chemical released by onion root being cut .
Reason for this - the chemical released floats in air and goes to wherever the water is , your eyes for example , a wet towel prevents it from going into your eyes and absorbs it instead .
Doesn't work. Tried it nor does water or soaking
Wich it's the roots??
Cooking basics
How can i get the knife man ?
Fingers nicely tucked in as you chop. 👍🏼👍🏼 Looking forward to your cookbook.
Editing leaves much to the imagination
Nice technique poppy. Happy Father's Day to you and to everyone watching!
You should cut your nails as a chef 😅😂❤
I just cut my thumb open lmao
*how an amateur home cook cuts an onion
So tell me how it’s done, mister chef
@@user-no9im9px6eliterally like this I'm not pro... But it is my job and I get paid to do it. I'm guessing all this dude knows how to cook is eggs and instant ramen.
@MikeTythonLLC I think what he's talking about is that if you separate layers in a certain way you can get it 20x finer that. Takes longer but that way it basically melts for sauces etc.
@@MikeTythonLLC oh, no. I know how to cook much, much more than that. try projecting elsewhere.
@@mrbigglesworth69that's Marco Pierre White's method. He himself said that chopping an onion that fine is required only for risottos and sauces because you'd like the onion to melt. For soups and sauces, its fine to chop it like in this video because it'll either be blended or strained.
Do you not wash onions?
Why the horizontal cut?
Cause someone told her to. Completely useless
I learned this by watching someone else cook also known as a mother
Learn this in culinary school
You need to call in oño
You don't have to slice it horizontally.
Name the knife
Where to get such knives?
That looks like a zwilling which have poor sharpness compared to other brands and rarely come sharp in the box from my experience. Suggest u look up best knives . They rated wusthof classic and Material knife as top 10 and they are about 100 or get a Global if u like low maintenance super light blades..I beat mine up and still no rust but not the sharpest knife. Misen was super sharp otb and cheap for 67 bucks but does not hold if using for hours at work and rusts quickly like most carbon steel knives so u need or dry with every cut and oil the blade.
Me, who uses a chopper every time while cooking 😅
Nice to see some professionals move the knife. I never could master pushing the food along a stationary knife
Aaaaa my eyes
Why make horizontal cuts? An onion is already layered on its own. Only vertical ones are enough.
No reason for the horizontal cut.
I got in a fight with our teacher in culinary school because the I told him that the horizontal cuts are irrelevant because the Onion already has natural seperation.
The horizontal cuts I also tend to skip, but I think it’s just one way of avoiding having to do the vertical cuts all the way up to the very edge of a more round onion - since the edges can be harder to cut and you end up with more circumference between those slices, the horizontal cuts perform the same role as the vertical ones but for the sides.
Horizontal cuts take care of the round edges. More horizontal cuts the finer the dice too & you don’t have to cut the annoying round parts
Brooo my onion seperates while doing this so i just make it long and cut it one by one...
Where did the onion edge go? Hahaha you smart hiding it dont throw it
That’s how I was taught in year 7, this isn’t how professionals dice an onion
yeah professionals just use telekinesis
Yes it is. You learning at young age doesn't mean they use this technique in restaurants everywhere.
I need a sharp knife. My knife here sucks
There easy trick. Cut both ends. Cut onion in half. I saw a chef 9n tictok
A professional does what they fucking want. Others agree, because they spend their money on this professional. They don't look for validation on the interwebs.
I'm new Subscriber I studying Professional cook
U don't study cooking, u do cooking. Actually, over 95% of learning is done thru doing not watching vids or reading or studying.
Just wanted to be the 100th comment…😂
I know this cause I watch nick digiovanni
Knife must be sharp… and pick up that last piece and hide it if you don’t want to cut it up
i dont know why when she was chopping onions my eyes hurt through the screen
Nice way to cut an onion, but there’s no wrong or right way to cut an onion as long as it’s cut🤣😂
Noooo why the cross cuts? They are pointless and just add a dangerous cut to the operation.
No need to do the horizontal cuts. That’s amateur work
Horizontal cuts not are necessary!
Swim the knife mate
I disagree with the ordering of how you diced it
Horizontal cut is completely unnecessary. Skip it if you value your fingers
Werent u suppust to wash it first
Still too thick for me. I hate the texture of onions so I go to great lengths to chop it ultra ridiculously fine. I suffer but at least that way I can eat it .
That is the world's worst diced onion video. Like damn.
You say dicing but I am not sure about that technique
Before landed a job as a sous chef, about 4 years ago I was a prep cook. Used to fine dice #50 cases of onions in 10 minutes. This method is overrated
I know it’s not safe but I watched my mom do it in her hand and I learned just from watching on how to do it. Do not try it. I’m a professional onion cutter In hand.
Ik you crying rn sir
