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.

@duckeyandjosh That's not how an onion works.

Bragging about onion chopping prowess, too funny.

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.

is this really necessary? ffs!

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.

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