One of the most complete instructional videos ever. Not only tips on cutting onions, but also on other key factors such as: securing the board, not dulling the knife blade, getting rid of the leathery parts of the onion, using the claw hand approach, etc. etc. Great job!
Thank you! I'm a terrible AND lazy cook so always bought frozen pre-diced onions (even though they cost a little more), but now I'll be dicing fresh onions myself ^_^ For those of us who didn't get to learn these essential kitchen skills, this is really useful!
I watch a lot of cooking tutorials on RUclips, and yours is hands down my favorite. Part of that is your voice and background music, which is very soothing; but more importantly is that unlike celebrity cooking videos, yours focuses on the technique, details, and practicality, instead of showmanship. In terms of trying to learn something myself so I can apply that knowledge next time I cook, your slower paced tutorials are always better. Thank you for doing these videos, and I hope your channel gets more and more successful!
To all the people saying your eyes are burning just watching this, part of that might be because of your knife. That burning sensation is a result of vapors released during cutting. If your knife is dull or sharp but not honed, you’re less cutting the onion (i.e. severing it into smaller pieces) and more crushing it. That causes a greater amount of those vapors to be released into the air, creating more of a burning sensation than the smaller cuts caused by a sharp knife.
Great video. I liked that zero of my time was wasted on stupid intros. Clear, intelligent presentation. Crystal clear speech and appropriate music at the right volume. I didn't know I had so much to learn about chopping onions!
timesaving hint: when dicing the onion, the horizontal cuts are totally unnecessary. Just do the vertical cuts (both with the grain and against the grain) as shown in the video. Horizontally, the onion layers are already separate.
Scooping the onions with the blunt side is something that you see even the best chefs neglect. Great video. Also great for salads and sandwiches or for onion rings: keep the onion whole, peel, slice a small bit out of the middle to steady the onion on the board, then slice from end to end. Turning to the other end when you reach the middle. You’ll end up with nice onion rings.
Thank you for making this video💖💖 I love how they explained every step very well and the way they shoot this video with the right angles to look, is making it more easier for me to learn.
PinkPandaPVP yeah, but thats kinda normal.. dont you need onions everyday? Just asking, no offence.. i am an indian and i am surprised to see that there are so many people saying that they didnt know how to do it or they would never do it..
With the dicing you don't need the horizontal cut (the first cut with the palm down on the onion). Just the vertical slices from the top down. Those slices break the layers so when you do the opposite and final cut the layers actually act as the horizontal cut.
One way to find out for sure… 1/2 onion with two horizontal cuts, 1/2 onion with one horizontal cut and 1/2 onion with no horizontal cuts. I just did my cutting as I was watching the vid so I’ll have to wait a day or two for the Great Experiment. 🧅
Thank you for this...one of many methods, but--so nice to see someone protect the sharp edge of the chef knife and use the flat backside for scraping. Thank you.
That was super helpful - most videos do not provide such detailed information - like how to avoid dulling the knife and how to cut safely during different parts of the cutting process. Thanks!
It's not too hard, I just hate the extra end piece that never gets the perfect cuts. You cut into about 90% of the onion but you still have that last little bit that doesn't look as nice as the rest.
When she cut the root in the slicing part, Gordon Ramsay echoes inside me, _"Root. Abseloutely crucial. Don't cut it. The onion will start to bleed and will make you cry~"_
If you make the horizontal cuts after the vertical ones, you won't get all of the little pieces coming off. Also, when doing the horizontal cuts, angle the blade downwards slightly to avoid running into your hand. Even although the onion is protected by layers, it's still a good idea once you have peeled it to give it a rinse, especially if you're going to eat them raw.
The fact there's videos on basic life skills like this tells me I'm not the only dumbarse whose mother never taught her anything. God bless RUclips creators. I am crippled so everything is difficult for me and I am embarassed for being here but thank you for existing !
If you are going to make a video on how to properly cut an onion, you should know how to properly cut an onion. This is not right , I am not joking or trying to be mean in anyway, this is just the wrong way to dice an onion.
Three ways to chop onions without tears: 1) Wear swim goggles 2) Run a small fan over your work area 3) Store your onions cold - the tear-producing chemicals in a cold onion will disperse into the air much more slowly than one stored at room temperature.
Thank you. It was always a pain to cut onions evenly, so I usually degenerate into, "chop the hell up using the cleaver style -- cut the onion in half, then just chop with one hand on the handle, and the other on the top of the knife -- that often makes the sizes not ever even, and sometimes will fling the onion piece out the board.
thanks for sharing, I've struggled too much trying to do the dice with the slicing, also great tip on cutting for cooking with the rotation, i'll have to try that too.
Really liked the way of cutting onion rings. Keeping the onion stable while cutting in rings is a disturbing thing, but your simple trick will help a lot. Thanks a lot.
It may sounds crazy but I’m using onions to regrow my hair... so I had to figure out how to cut the onion in the first place! So thank you so much! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
I just spent 5 minutes of my life watching someone chop onions
I have no regrets
best way to learn anything is to observe.
Should check out Gordan Ramsey chopping onions ect

Yes agreed 👍
But i still cry while cutting onions
It’s 1 am, what the heck am I doing....😂
Binav Shresthaa omg same lol it’s 1:08 am for me 😜
It's one am for me too. I'm here because I'm making a casserole for dinner and I'm sick of mutilating onions every time I cut them.
Onion 90rs per kg ho gaye bhai , isliye neend nahi aati tumko

My brain: this is exactly what I needed to know, although I never cook, don't even like onions, and should have gone to bed 3 hours ago.
My surname is Howard as well ! If you've never sauted sweet onions in a good pure butter you've made yourself , you don't know what your missing .
How do you not like onions? They are so delicious when they're cooked.
@@windmage0168 raw onions are awful

OMG! I've been struggling with cutting onions and this was the most useful video I've seen. Thank you thank you thank you!!
It's so satisfying to watch someone cut an onion but IRL it's emotional af.

Exactly! Was browsing through comments to see if anyone thinks so too. But it takes some 3D imagination to know that
my eyes started to burn just think of it
Lol
same lol
because she's doing very well
dont cut the root and it wont burn your eyes
cut the root! it causes those tears so remove it asap
That moment when you find out you've been cutting an onion wrong your whole life.
Scooping the onions with the blunt side is something that you see even the best chefs neglect. Great video.

I wonder how many tears she shed for a 5 minute video about how to chop onions...
My eyes are burning just from watching this
I thought it was just me 😂😂😂

PinkPandaPVP Holy Pusheen
This is so satisfying and make chopping onions up look really easy! If I learn this, I'mma show my friends and impress em😁
Finally, you showed the correct way to scrape up chopped food. Don't use the blade. Love your channel.
With the dicing you don't need the horizontal cut (the first cut with the palm down on the onion). Just the vertical slices from the top down. Those slices break the layers so when you do the opposite and final cut the layers actually act as the horizontal cut.
I agree i never do horizontal cuts for that reason
Exactly!
One way to find out for sure… 1/2 onion with two horizontal cuts, 1/2 onion with one horizontal cut and 1/2 onion with no horizontal cuts. I just did my cutting as I was watching the vid so I’ll have to wait a day or two for the Great Experiment. 🧅
Ogres are like onions THEY HAVE LAYERS
shrek
They stink and make you cry.
haha from the cat dog show
Jack Jones yes, no
Maria Salinas
The music, the simplicity, and the artistry in the cutting. Very nice.
I enjoy the burning eyes experience. It's part of the onion aroma. Love onions. I don't know what we would do without them. They're magic.
these videos have been so helpful for me. i am actually the worst cook in the world and these have helped me with the basics
Me chopping onions:
"Honey, I'm making dinner"
*cuts*
*cries*
...
*cuts myself*
"Oh sh*t"
*tears falling onto onions*
*continues to bleed*
"We're going out for dinner!"
lol!!
Thank you for this...one of many methods, but--so nice to see someone protect the sharp edge of the chef knife and use the flat backside for scraping. Thank you.
Tell me why my eyes started burning while I was watching this 😂🤦🏽♀️🥺
I thought was being dramatic but I’m not alone Lmaoooooooo
My eyes are burning just from looking at these overused comments

0:34-0:36 You made the onion cry
You did what millions couldn't do.
Thank you.
☺☺☺☺☺☺☺
If your eyes burn very fast and easily, use swimming goggles, they block all the reactions away if you know what I mean.
I do the exact same thing & my family always makes fun of me! 😂
Or you can eat gum lol
it didnt work for me u.u
SNORKLER STEVER STYLE
Just don't cut off the root - Its what makes makes the onion bleed. The methods in the video are excellent to prevent crying.
That was super helpful - most videos do not provide such detailed information - like how to avoid dulling the knife and how to cut safely during different parts of the cutting process. Thanks!
Dont be fooled, it’s harder than it looks
It's not too hard, I just hate the extra end piece that never gets the perfect cuts. You cut into about 90% of the onion but you still have that last little bit that doesn't look as nice as the rest.
I like videos like these; tasty should do more like dicing a tomato, or just basic sauces.
Yes @tasty a good spinoff - tasty basics
When she cut the root in the slicing part, Gordon Ramsay echoes inside me, _"Root. Abseloutely crucial. Don't cut it. The onion will start to bleed and will make you cry~"_
Cutting ingredients are so satisfying
Thanks, i'm terrible in the kitchen and this well help me not embarrass my self when I try to help my sister in law!
My eyes started burning just watching this.
I recommend seeing a doctor about vicarious burning of the eyes.

You know what? This is really useful! Thank you, Tasty!
This is actually a good and useful how to video. I always struggled with the cutting the rings.
Best how-to on cutting ever. Thanks.
Perfect thank you so much, I watched Gordon Ramsey do it and even he didn't explain it as good as you did so again thank you.
This woman is a fucking boss. I'd be crying like the first 10 minutes of UP if I had to cut this many onions.
Love the video, Great explanation.
Thank you for making Educational videos and not stupid blogs like other RUclipsrs.
Watching her cut onions is so peaceful
If you make the horizontal cuts after the vertical ones, you won't get all of the little pieces coming off. Also, when doing the horizontal cuts, angle the blade downwards slightly to avoid running into your hand. Even although the onion is protected by layers, it's still a good idea once you have peeled it to give it a rinse, especially if you're going to eat them raw.
Another Tip: Wear a Diving Mask
I was wondering if this person was wearing goggles or something. I would be in tears lol
wash your onions and chew a gum
dont cut the root and it wont burn your eyes
I've tried all of those. In my professional career as a cook, I find the best method to chop onions with no tears is to keep your knife super sharp.
Matt Michalak didnt the first tip she used, they cutted the root? the part where she cutted it in half?
"So for the onion rings, we're gonna start this one a little bit differently."
~Proceeds to start the exact same way as previous methods~
😂
The fact there's videos on basic life skills like this tells me I'm not the only dumbarse whose mother never taught her anything. God bless RUclips creators. I am crippled so everything is difficult for me and I am embarassed for being here but thank you for existing !
I just realized that I've been dulling my knife every time I do that food picking thing. shook
Oh wow. This has to be the longest Tasty video ever🤔🤔.
Other than that I actually enjoyed the video. Might try them nest trick the next time am cooking. Thanks guys for the video.

Thanks. All I needed to know was "when I can't hold it any more what to do" and u said it in this video.
How does she do it so perfectly?!!!
practice makes perfect :)
Sharp knife! Helps a lot :)
She doesn't , this is not remotely correct
Daniel Bugden I just knew there would be someone out there , she is remotely correct there
If you are going to make a video on how to properly cut an onion, you should know how to properly cut an onion. This is not right , I am not joking or trying to be mean in anyway, this is just the wrong way to dice an onion.
Put your brightness on 100 and turn off the lights for maximum effect.

GameOver ikr its so annoying, have to try putting it back again like a puzzle, then fail miserably and just cut them all randomly
Don't cut off the root. Thats what keeps it together.
