Go for it Martin. When you start putting videos up on YouTube I wanna be the first to know.

Too much talk , not enough action

I haven't looked into the science behind it, but I've noticed that I tend to tear up much more the less sweet the onion is. Yellow onions light my eyes on fire, whereas so-called "Sweet" onion barely have an effect on me at all. Red onions as well, but again, they are generally relatively sweet in my experience. :)

I wouldn't say he's annoying, but I agree that he's unnecessary. Why is he there? He obviously doesn't know how to chop, not enough to be doing a seminar anyway.

I was also really disappointed by both guys on the julienne part. You're supposed to angle the knife and work your way up to perpendicular to the board. These guys just chopped perpendicular all the way through, leaving uneven cuts. Fourth one down on the sidebar shows the proper way for this.

Talk a little too much, but good for stupid people I guess. Nice to know that stumpier onions are sweeter. Guess all the slender onions will rot...lol. There are a lot better knives than wustoff a bit cheaper, in the price range, and more expensive knives (especially japanese knives). The old idea that german knives are the best is just not true. Other wise technique at least is adequate. Cutting the root out keeps tear gas to a minimum.

@martinliao judging from the comment ASS KICKING you just got here, i highly doubt you can do anything better. kill yourself!

No problem :) I hate people who insult people just because they are jealous. It's not even worth it to type a message just to insult someone making them think that the person will get offended.
