How to chop onion

[2000xlt]

there is no reason to do a horizontal slice before the final chop. When you slice the onion on the lines of the onion before you chop/mince..the onion now has tons of layered "fingers"..horizontal slicing in the center does nothing..whatch Chef Jean Pierre he says that too

[Bunnyhops4u]

19 people cant do this.....

[Ramsas154]

blah.. i saw a man who peel a potatoe in few seconds /watch?v=txd5fZtOU28

[JasonECI]

Nice video... and you took me by surprise using nakiri/usuba like a French chef's knife!

[tamster888]

bad

[MsTurquaz]

15 seconds to peel, 14 seconds to chop 

[Collinffs]

Fail!

[majorpainful]

get a sharper knife, not one of those japanese gimmick and novelty knives!

[psychoslap]

i think thats how everyone chops an onion. But please dont cut through the skin, it just pushes dirt into the onion.

[manhunt202]

[33303HASS]

[damoro375]

[YOMAMAXXL]

[florinbaiduc]

0:35 - no, this is how NOT to chop an onion (or anything) - risk of chopping your own fingers is too high...

[biggofwi2]

@florinbaiduc

That's actually the standard taught style. Watch chef Ramsey 

[WTF7176]

Now do a video on how not to peel an onion!

[mrlacrosse15]

umm i always found his 2nd step easier to du 1st

[badaboytattoo]

That onion looked small I thought it was garlic at first. That is a beautiful knife!

[namniekib]

Is that an usuba or nakiri knife?That's even faster than my santoku knife.

[isaacakira]

In Japanese, usuba and nakiri refer to the same knife.

[kiminokami]

I don't think so.

[Chemicalkinetics]

Namniekib, In answering your question, this looks like a Nakiri because it has bevels on both sides of the knives. See 0:27 - 0:35

[spitoncat]

This video was absolutely fabulous. No wasted time, just getting down to business and getting that onion cut up. Thanks for the upload. GRADE A

[vanesafimbrez]

seriously? this video is awful! it's not instructional at all, you can't even see what he's doing with the onion half the time. i want my 49 seconds back!

[dirkdiggler1966]

y does it matter how u cut an onion?

[ChefToddMohr]

Horizontal cut is necessary to ensure piece size consistency.

[Mirpuria]

made it look so easy

[thunderpants7]

Took you more than 2 seconds to peel the onion... You're Fired

[SNoringbair]

werd

[BuddhaMUD]

@thunderpants7 you're dumb

[Tosuzawa]

Good, im so bored that im sitting here watching a video on how to chop onion

[drakkarnien]

I think doing the horizontal depends on the type of onion. Like if it were those big green ones, you'd need to do so, but if it were, say, shallots, you don't have to. I personally don't see much point in the horizontal. If it's still rough, I hack away.

[besserwiser]

Oh nooo... not another expert chef who does the horizontal cut!!! I'm totally confused - should I or shouldn't I do the horizontal cut?

(I think I'm going to cry)

[curlingisgay]

I know what you mean I dont know If It matters either haha I dont stick to what you like

[delus1on]

[boochy115]

[hsze]

sweeeet

[Vihsadas]

The important thing is to make sure not to cut off the butt end of the onion, and to make sure your plating strokes and cross strokes don't go all the way through the onion. Good vid, good technique!

[kevin7978]

good job

[noosaslayer]

Nice vid, always wondered how that was done, thanks

[themikelib]

That cunt there doesnt even have time to cry

[tdrehfal]

Heh... how to chop onion, as long as your knife isn't dull like mine.

[thegraveyardduck]

What kind of knife is that? Looks pretty traditional. I like it.

[rauzliebling]

It's a common Japanese chef's knife, I think that style is called "Nakiri bocho" (tokyo style).

[filmrubbish]

Fastest onion chopper in the West!
