next step: how to take a shower!

[HeyMissMetalCanI]

i like her nail polish color..

[notpointed]

to avoid tearing up don't open your mouth unnecessarily and smell a piece of bread, it helps

the sulfur compounds from the onion are harmless but with the natural water in your eyes they form an acid which then burns

[Webcast01]

Does it really take 11 steps to chop an onion. Last time I heard it was 5.

[sayesiot]

[blackboy424]

[hodgrix]

this is way over complicated

[BriboGarabet]

the guy who narrates these cutting things sounds like hes probally cute :P

[molecularization]

this vid fails...

[tjdgo123]

just cut the damn onion, who cares

[seirios78]

SO TYPICAL: they teach you to discard about one third of the onion without a blink of an eye. Funnily, that's about the proportion of worldwide food production that gets wasted (bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-1­3364178)

And all that in the 21. century, when we're growing vegetables literally on our rooftops and just about everywhere we can, as we're running out of arable lands. We're a waste.

[khush1993]

[yaasmin24]

[Denabella]

My mom says holding a slice of bread will help keep from crying

[Gyarsonay]

[gottalovedamon]

step 1) grab onion and knife

[SunnyRays06]

Keep running water on to keep from tearing up or just chew gum. Everybody is different.

[Qjemuse]

i fell asleep

[stw1396]

ok so how do i cut this so-called lemon wedge.

[EdMahoney19]

In Japan, they have a tradition for cutting expertise.  It would be nice to import those skills here.

[strongbutmighty]

u actually CAN prevent tearing up by not cutting off the stem...

dumb bastards

[comanchio1976]

That was the most complicated explanation of anything in the history of the world!

[mawarmerah10]

[TheOvechkinnation]

[drnthe]

I would just like to point out that this video is mostly for men, who know nothing about cooking and are too "macho" to ask other people.

[youngboyq101]

thank you very much

[RottenSinceBirth]

rofl just cut a fucking onion either way u feel like

[toaotou]

i hate it when it stops on one pic to wait for the guy to say nonsences

[Mattheys]

A very sharp knife cuts the cells instead of puncturing them. you puncture the cells the harsh sulphur comes out you cut the cells and it takes a longer time for it to get into the air just use a very sharp knife and you wont cry

[MiHao1964]

How company knife??

[KHMadMan]

okay, tip: DONT cut through the root. thats where you find the largest concentration of the acid which makes you cry when it gets to your eyes. cut about 1/2 inch away from the root, then break it in half by hand. this wont split as many cells open meaning less acid is released.

[chit111]

this is for pussies

[robotentity]

Too many steps, just pisses me off. Need flow, man. Flow.

[N1t3m4r3]

[sugarandpie]

gotta be the most annoying veg to cut/dice...i always hate the "onion" part of making a meal...lol

[james86d]

i'm sure people found this helpful. i'm not a chef but i was always taught you should try and avoid cutting horizonitaly. Always cut down towards the board.

[ococ05]

its sad tht they tell u how to hold a knife but watchin this video made me tear up. i hate cutting onions....

[musico07]

wow 12 STEPS lol very helpful to do it this way tho

[sharper752]

I thought this video was very helpful :P I can now cut an onion in half the time it used to take me .. heheh

[DroppedColt]

Oh my god, at 0:50 she is holding the onion with four fingers! You need to hold it with three!!! Oh shiiiiiiit

[jenniemae55]

she actually cut the root end first...did anyone catch that?

[natashajohnson08]

if you dont cut the root it won't make you cry as bad

[siniqdrakon]

step 1 chop the onion - my version's better

[ikilloncarbon]

lol

[PunkDizzle]

I don't think you could have made it any more complicated if you'd tried, balls.

[mosafef]

not really a huge deal but after you cut the stem you have a nice flat surface you can use to cut the onion in half, with all the work holding the knife properly, curling your fingers etc... why not use that? i'm not a chef though so beats me I'm an engineer

[xKingBeanerx]

fricking huge chunks, you mouth is gonna stink like hell

[NOOBALATER101]

wow lol people can put ANYTHING on youtube =)

[vronica03]

[filipinagirl101]

[underscorex5]

"And God said, let it be cut up and eaten"

[ratiufekchiev]

OMG mac knives!!! my dad has those their amaaazinggggg

[oldgreg303]

really?

[dattebayo12310]

Oh my... I can't believe you just made onion slicing so complicated...

[yukkyman4323]

You could also freeze the onion for a little while.

[ballg]

onions emit a gas which goes to the nearest water source, after you cut it in half run some cold water over it. it works all the time, i never tear up.

[luvagrl01]

at the japanese resturaunt my fiance works cooking, they wrap from underneath their noses up in plastic wrap so the sulfuric compound doesnt make them cry!! lol

[thanksfornothingayah]

i find it dificult to peel the skin off

[naterpiller]

another tip for reducing tears is to place a small bowl of water near the onion/board, apparently the sulfur compounds are attracted to the nearest source of water and this is why they go for your eyes.

[rliv23]

yeah ur actually right

[sm93]

Chewing gum keeps you from crying too >_>
