The horizontal cuts are not necessary. it just fundamentalist chefs beliefs. The onions layer are already horizontal. Sure you will get a finer cut if you slash a few extra horizontal, But since the onion already have its own the finer diced pieces will not make a significant difference. It never a good idea to cut towards your finger if you don't need to.

Bragging about onion chopping prowess, too funny.

[mytwocoins]

People who need the root to hold it together are pussies!

I have always sliced it off and done my dicing, slicing or chopping. No big deal especially if you're only using one.

[assassin611983]

is this really necessary? ffs!

[RIKIEatHOME]

What do you mean the "proper" way to chop an onion? ill chop it however the fuck i want, are there laws or something, idiot.

[duckeyandjosh]

ERROR : don't cut the root! it will release the gas' that makes you cry..

[JuryDutySummons]

@duckeyandjosh That's not how an onion works.

Plus: Peeling AFTER cutting in half. Nice use of the knuckles.

Minus: Cut off much less of the root. Just slide the knife over the skin to take off just that part of the root that sticks out. The root holds the onion together while slicing. Horizontal cuts are only necessary in the bottom 1/3, above that the layers curve into natural horizontal cuts. It's safer since you still have the upper 2/3's to grip. The onion gets wobbly when you try to make horizontal cuts all the way to the top.

DEFINATLY NOT U

[maxbrand2000]

Amateur mistake...cut off the root end.

[carsiotto]

i assume u serve the root huh? fucking asshat mutha fucker.

[maxbrand2000]

No rookie... you leave the root on while slicing. See the little piece of onion left unsliced...that he's sliding off the board with his left hand. That's should be the root-end. He's wasting perfectly good onion, and in any professional kitchen, there is not tolerance for that kind of waste.

[seriouslyWeird]

every, even retarded, cook figures out by himself

[noosaslayer]

Agreed the first cut is a waist of time, NEXT!

[brian8793]

Your time must be very valuable

[alebrozzo]

Well, I wish you had taken off the part that makes you cry, plus, I believe the first cross cut was not nessesary at all

[roosh4]

Wow!!! I've never seen someone cut an onion so slow. I could have chopped eight in the time you did half of your staged onion.

[sharmet]

The slowness has to be depicted for those who need detailed showmanship of the technique.Let's see your knife cuts.

[hunthicks]

Leave the root end on, that way when you do your vertical and horizontal slices, it wont fall apart, and you won't waste that piece at the end.

[MintySpunkBubble]

You had a nice even dice there but I loved the way you snuck away that big chunk at the end.
