Cooking show, The only and right way to dice an onion.

[Ken1Nickels1]

Jesus Effing Christ! Does every stupid youtube video have to have an equally stupid ( and annoying) soundtrack? We are not amused.

[knottytrevor]

cheffff doucheeeeee.



[IrisMG]

I cook sitting down too because of my lumbar vertebrae, and I'm dicing onions your way from now on. BTW I only watched the first 1.5 min of your video. Thanks for posting!

[QatBelly]

uhm waaay too much background music. kill it. no one wants to listen to it anyhow.

[kiwijunglist]

i liked it when he chopped the onion

[pjezyk22]

song?

[Aqlor]

Best technique is showed by ChefJeanPierre

[newsense87]

JUST CUT THE F***ING ONION

[SonyMouse]

Thank you for the info, I tried your technique and it worked MUCH better than what I was doing before.

[avalanchesoul]

close, but not quite. leave the root end and you'll have more onion to work with (hold) as you get toward the end. and THAT'S the real and only way!

[retrotw]

@avalanchesoul and it prevents from bleeding which causes u to cry....always have the root on ...

[zombiegirlnz]

something i prepared earlier madge & kev is another funny one on youtube

[TICABELLA23]

People remeber this is a chef, he knows. hes explaining how to cut an onion. he will be faster in the kitchen, and if hes sitting so what he know where his fingers are. hes a chef he knows. this guy rocks. :)

[TICABELLA23]

hes explaining how to cut onions. he will be faster in the kitchen. :)

[steelhooves90]

If any of you actually watched you'd see that the first 20 seconds are intro and the last 7.5 minutes are a black screen and music playing.

[g3richo]

Holy crap dude... you cutting skills suck, and excuse me.... but wtf are you doing sitting on a stool?!?! stand up! watch your fingers and learn how to sharpen your knife...

[hoyle1911]

10 minutes for a damn onion? This guy would have been fired so fast.

[Kamperx]

Is that a burger king hat he's wearing?

[DJKydKrazy]

It takes 10 fucking minutes to show me how to cut an onion?

[nettielouwho]

what's up with the music? wtf.

[maheshmaa]

r u a chef?

[ak47justin1]

This guy is a fuckin nutsack

[xDalyssaDx]

10 minutes to show how to cut an onion?! wtf..

[bossbro73]

@xDalyssaDx lol!!!!

[mytwocoins]

I:30 finger on the spine, silly and dangerous way to hold a knife.

Worthless video.

Lame lighting too by the way.

Gasbag is right!

[bmfitt]

mister tomatza you got not idea of cuttings.

watch your fingers :-)

[ErlenmeyerFlask]

What? That is not how you chop an onion. First you get your slap chop, put it over the onion, then you just slap away. 4/5 seconds... your done.

[drkangelx]

in the time it took this guy to cut off the root and peel the onion i coulda gone through at least a pound of onions. anyone can look like a chef when they put on the coat n hat *wink wink* and this lazy ass is sittin in a chair while doin this.

[Rovo188]

I agree, what the hell is he doing xD

[MohanndasChutney]

3:17 of overproduction, 10 seconds of content. It's no coincidence that someone who claims there's only one "right way" to dice an onion seems so taken with himself.

On the other hand... this is a great audition tape for Hell's Kitchen (US). Fox is always looking for deluded gasbags who self-destruct in front of millions.

[themike1313]

p.s dont watch this video

[SammyM956]

"The Only and Right Way to dice an onion"....WTF....?

[gitfidil76]

Whats with the epic movie music in the back ground?

[jem8472]

It is from Apollo 13 I think it is called the Launch.

[sagerhys]

GAY!

[boorbaga]

why are people giving you thumbs down? i mean, if you choose to comment on a video by announcing that your gay then thats your business.

[sagerhys]

That is true, I "should" be free to announce that I am gay, but so is this video...this was one of the worst instructional videos I have seen. I am glad you liked it but that just shows how little you actually know.

[boorbaga]

pretentious reply FAIL.

[sagerhys]

Aww, don't worry buddy your jaded negativity does not affect me. I only feel sorry for a sad 40 year old tryin to match wits over a comment I left over a month ago.

[boorbaga]

your mom!

[sagerhys]

HA, you are turning out to be funnier than I first expected. Here's to agreeing to disagree. You really should find a better and more efficient way to develop your knife skills.

[Stygian7]

That's cool. I thought i was the only one who thinks you should listen to 7 minutes of trance, in the dark, after chopping an onion. freaky

[photosinmiami]

um... douche

[gopineapples]

10 fucking minutes to cut an onion? cocksucker.

[casasdc]

this guy is an ass hat.

[abugintheground]

also the vertical cuts you make only cover about half of the onion.

[heyawhaw]

x-actly. if he kept the root end on he could cut almost all the way through and get more onioion out of the onion, so to speak, instead of chopping anything off. Then he would be able to cut much closer to the root when he turned the onion

But whatever floats your boat. Let's not start WWIII over an onion : D

[luckyfanarun]

may be you are right for your own way, but its not the best way to chop an onion, there are other several ways to do so in better ways and i do what usual chefs do.

[chileno199014]

he is a chef...

[abugintheground]

Is he? I've never seen a chef sitting down. I don't.I tried it once when I first started as a dish pig and I nearly lost my job.

[chileno199014]

lol... its just an instructional video buddy... hes not at his workplace so he doesnt have to be standing up... can u not read the description? he is a chef!

[abugintheground]

wrong. You need the cross cuts because at the side the 'petals' you speak of are going vertically and so you wont get a consistent size. And what's the point of using a paring knife to cut the root out, when you're going to throw that away anyway? It's easier to peel after you've cut it in half too.

[chileno199014]

you are 100% right

[herrpotat]

The intro almost made me crap my pants! *chef Tomatza*! WRAHAHHAHA!

[SeanValjean]

Not bad, but you should really feed the onion the knife when chopping. Moving the knife increases the risk of getting cut.

[Cordzimm]

That technique is just plain silly  (as is the background music).

[rocket881]

Pretty poor. In the time it took you to pare out the bloom and root ends, and peel the thing, I could have the entire onion diced to 1/16" by cutting in half but leaving the root ends, doing the cross cuts and chopping.

Like the other poster said, why cut off the part you're going to throw out anyway. Wasted motion, wasted time.

[jayne8888]

Dude you are such an idiot.....

That is so not how you chop and onion......you chop

[KonvoyChief]

Excellent! Thank you

[kindageeky2]

awful technique, really

[ChefToddMohr]

I just posted a dicing onion video that is a bit more descriptive and does promote the cross cuts. Cross cutting is necessary to ensure consistency in piece size - an integral part of cooking.

[chefTYItalian]

terrible, and your not a real chef, chef's dont sit down

[1997LT1Camaro]

The music is weird while he is talking. It seems like he should have been awarded a metal or something.

[ryangeist]

background music is fucking gay

[greatjoe22]

tought i was gonna learn something new lol

[buzzdav4]

Who chose this stupid background music-?? Absolutely incongruous & too dramatic. Weird.

[maxbrand2000]

This guy is a douch.

[allanjenny]

You are a moron max. :-)

[helobelow]

Best technique I've seen for cutting an onion to this day! I will dice my onions this way from now on...Thanks for the help!

[greenlordd]

I agree with the crosscut waste of time, but why dont you leave the tail on it so that you have more grip and less waste ?

[unionzac]

so sad about all those chef's that died in that onion fire... trying to beat the communist on top chef.

[theemrod]

Marvelous, thank you.

(Do you know you have forgotten to take off your party hat?)

[phylor5333]

What does the truth hurt It must

[burt247]

The music is a bit over the top

[Isus1]

Thanks alot i am a young chef and am learning the tactics of the greats

[Sweetdreamsprelude]

That's the way I was taught ... I used to be that dishwasher that got the privilege of chopping a bushell every now and then.... Hahaha

[CainmosniMirrored]

This guy is a douche.

[peaceloveandkindness]

obviously u are a tool and a douche bag for not even having the guts to do soemthing like this..yes he may just be a chef in some dodgy italian ristorante or whatever they are called but he has kahonies unlike you so stop putting down the man and make something of yourslef YOU BUM!!!

[CainmosniMirrored]

Hey, if you wanna suck his dick just say it, you don't have to get so upset about it.

[bubbajohnbubba]

you need to sharpen your knife. Tip is dull. cross cutting WILL give you a more uniform dice. try it.

[Metsada007]

I also do it that way

[lambutan82]

In the other videos, only the root is chopped off. Then after doing the cutting and the slicing from the root side onwards, the head bit that is left is then thrown away, which might save some time.

Anyway, tks for the vid!

[Skoben2000]

Thanks for the info. I didn't know it takes more time to throw away one end of the onion than it does the other and work towards the opposite end which then get's thrown away as well in either case. Very infomative.

[jackhopemusic]

haha! omg! epic music! at the end its like omg! he did it! he made it! he cut the onion! when all hope was lost, one man, the legend that is, chef tomatzaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

[BG7YKTI]

LOL Yeah but he still rocks!

At the end there was that trance ROFL after the 'epic music'!

[jackhopemusic]

hahahaha thanks for making me watch this vid again! i just cant stop laughing at it! hehe hes so great! :D :D :D

[jackhopemusic]

hehehehehehe i love the intro to this guys vids!

ALL HAIL CHEF TOMATZAAAAAAA!!!!

[wheatabix3xfrosty]

i cant fuckin see it!!!

[phylor5333]

Why does every "Chef" on you tube make a vid of cutting an onion How about something a bit more INTERESTING or maybe difficult? Things that any mook with a knife cant cut. An onion WOW how amazing, a onion?!? How about breaking down a 60 lbs pig or butchering a 1/2 a cow something that can be useful filleting a whole fish maybe start small work your way up to the pig.... Onions psssst wtf Sorry brother I cook 2 and it just pisses me off EVERYONE cuts a GD onion.

[icypeel]

mmm great video but it would be better if there were more closeups so i could see the grain of the onion better

[usednick]

awesome

[vronica03]

he has confirmed what i have always suspected. amazing video. [favorited]

[phylor5333]

VRONICA03 Do you think the word AMAZING really applies to this vid? It is just a onion And with that said, Instead of "suspecting" Try it out its just a 24.5 cent onion Grab a 5 LBS bag and start cutting... AMAZING?!?!?!?!?!?!? Really?!?!?! NAAAA

[vronica03]

hey prick, the term 'amazing' was in reference to the chef's awesome theme music, manner and quality of instruction. there are many onion cutting vids out there, but this one is the best. also, i hope you get shot for writing like THISSSSS!!!@?$!!!! douche.

[phylor5333]

WOW HON, You need meds! REAL BAD It was a question and you stated none of these comments in your original comment so why dont you go fuck a running chain saw. Talk about "for writing like thisssssss" whatever that is supposed to mean, you crazy 21 yr old bitch AMAZING !!??!! Ya Right

[vronica03]

lmao...your comments are extremely amusing...i'm as cool as a cucumber, maybe you should pop an asprin before that vein explodes, better yet, let it be...now if you please, do reply in my channel, right here it's getting embarassing, oy

[phylor5333]

vronica03 You wouldnt know cool even if you were locked in a freezer truck. And as for that cucumber I think we all know what you do with that! Your comments are the sputtering drivel of a 2 yr old with drool on her chin! Now get back in your cage and tell your keeper you have been bad

[darthnikk]

Interesting choice of the Apollo 13 soundtrack as background music.

[suprmarioismylife]

ya tomatza u fucking tell em what to do horizontal is redundant son unhh

[brewstabear]

he made a shite load of hash browns after that

[betocasablanca]

I have used this video several times.

Thanks!

[lax80684]

haha what a hilarious introduction

[SeanCitizen]

epic

[catseatcheeze]

you should stand up when you do that or you'll get tendonitous in ur carpul tunnel

[cobechita]

what a genius.

[gazza4589]

Another lefty chef...

Did you know that there are only like 20% of the world that re left handed?

And for the vid, awesome. I always that you had to cut sieways as well. And nice knife control.

[bangzilla]

thanks that was helpful

and lol apollo 13 theme, love that song

[Zioniu]

Haha who sits in a restaurant and is like "... my onions arent cut square! TAKE IT BACK BITCH!" ?omy

[vvolfenstein]

What? WTF does that have to do with it

In a gourmet restaurant when time is money and perfect taste can be the life of the restaurant, the way an onion is perfectly browned in meat or wtv you happen to be using it with means ALOT.

Second in a salad where presentation means ALOT what would you do if all your onions are different sizes? Right your fucked.

[iamzach727]

1. wolfenstein, grow up.

2. Methodology isn't as simple as saying that there is only one right way to get the job done. If you're going to say he's not a chef, you'll need some more credible evidence than the way he's holding his knife (which, btw, is not at all wrong).

[vvolfenstein]

woot continuing an ended argument on the net is like the special Olympics even if you win your still retarded.

[sombrero7000]

There will always be negative feedback no matter who or what you do in this world, personally it just flatters me.

[vvolfenstein]

well wtv to each is own. I've worked in a kitchen before so this bullshit sort of surprised me how he thinks that his opinion is better then the entire culinary world's opinion.

[n7cav]

You don't cut the onion in half before peeling the outer layer. If you ran your knive through the onion that way, the exterior filth would contaminate the onion. Core top, peel layer, cut in half, slice, dice. That simple. Nice video... Chef trooper

[chenkwey]

Idiot.

If you had half a clue you'd know to cut it in half before peeling, and that's just the start of of you bungling. dur

[Pippybills]

Thank you, Thank you, Thank youuu...

[allumirati]

Do all professional chefs cook sitting down?...ahem...

[JiaPRiX]

might wanna zoom in.

Cooking video tip:

u should show your face in the introduction only. Zoom into your hands and onion only covering the whole screen.

BTW, finally someone shows the proper way

[cheffrancoiscanada]

this is great.

[ndanieltx]

EXCELLENT JOB!! I am making a turkey stuffing for the first time in my life today (former bachelor just got married) and the recipe called for diced onion. THIS WAS HUGE HELP! Excellent how-to vid! KUDOS!

[relighmdx40]

FINALLY OMG I LOVE YOU finally someone actually did it right hats off to chef tamotzo... Chef.Merck

[amcrem05]

I feel dumb for not realizing this.

[SALMATASH]

HES RIGHT! IT IS BEAUTIFUL

[megaplatypus]

What kind of music did you use, I know I've heard it in a movie!

[snemelka]

Thank you for the tips. I'm hungry.

[donnieboy123]

talented lefty

[jeankeagan]

Gee, I never figured that way of cutting up an onion. Thanks for the great demonstration.

[Darklyte510]

I was never good at this. Thank you for the lesson!

[Darklyte510]

I was never good at this. Thank you for the lesson!

[hatstoyou]

SUPER, GREAT WAY.

MARVIN

SASKATOON

[hatstoyou]

Wow now that is the way to dice an onion, I will never cut it my way again. Thank you chef.
