HOW TO: Cut an Onion

So cutting onions may seem like a simple task, but I'm sure most of you dont know the easiest way to do it. I know I even used to just grab it and start chopping until it was the size I wanted, but I'll teach you the easiest way to julienne (sliced thin) and dice an onion!

STEP ONE: Cut off both ends, KEEP THE ROOT INTACT and cut through the root, not through the body of the onion

STEP TWO: Starting from the end, slice the onion as thinly as possible, going through the entire half

STEP THREE: VIOLA! Perfectly sliced onions ready to be caramelized and added to just about anything

HOW TO DICE:

STEP ONE: Slice across the onion horizontally toward the root but do not cut it completely off!

STEP TWO: Cut across vertically, also making sure not to cut anything completely off the onion

 STEP THREE: Turn the onion 90 degrees and chop, chop, chop till you reach the end!

STEP FOUR: Shed a tear for how talented you are, not because your eyes are burning from chopping these onions!
