for home cooks, if you keep the onion attached to the root on either side it will not bleed as badly, reducing tears

For those who are home cooks Or if you're just cooking If possible While you're prepping your food, put your onions in the refrigerator At least 20 to 25 minutes Beforehand You may be able to go a little bit less After working in kitchens And cutting up those Eye burners It really helps 🎉❤

I'm going to try the method you showed for small chopped onion pieces. Fingers crossed I don't lose any....I'm cooking today to give my husband a break since he is the cook here and I don't want to bother him with any questions so I looked you up. Thanks for your video.

Thank you for your wonderful videos and sharing so much honesty Cutting Edge culinary information bringing heaven to our taste...Tearless onion chopping... I got something for you... If you cut your onion near running water such as a tap it will eliminate tears. Method 2. Cut the end of an onion, the root end and put it on your head while chopping onions this will eliminate tears seriously just try it

Im loving all of your videos! I cannot decide on a good chef's knife. I'm using a vintage set of knives that work but I really want to step up. Any recommendations?
