Onion holder

Nice afro pick

My thought exactly!

not the best idea, not the worst idea

I just get my onions pre-chopped

>>8203606
You don't really buy those

If they don't have them frozen I'll sometimes take a few onions from produce and bring them to the butchers counter. They'll happily dice my onion on the spot.

>>8203618
How lazy and incompetent can you be

>>8203621

What, it makes a lot more sense since I can't afford any good knives and the guys at the store probably sharpen theirs nightly

>>8203627
>can't afford any good knives
Now you're just making up bullshit excuses

>>8203567
I've always wondered if these work, I have dysgraphia and my fucked up fingers have never been able to hold and onion right when I cut it, are they worth it?

>>8203630

Only a 1000 fold tanto can cut my onions

>>8203618
This can't be real. For what reason whatsoever would anybody ever buy prechopped onions, or even pepper?
Most importantly the price is pretty fucking high for veggies, I pay less for fresh ones (I'm not in the US though).
It always baffles me, how all you have to do to have financial success is to think about what the dumbest assumable customer would possibly buy.

>>8203627
It does not make sense. You're just making excuses for being lazy and taking the easy way.

You could probably buy an entire bag of full onions for 1.50.

>>8203618
>from produce and bring them to the butchers counter. T
I know it's bullshit, but the thought of someone actually doing this really made my day. Thanks anon.

>>8203644
I personally do all my peeling, chopping, slicing whatever because I like it. But I understand why someone is willing to pay a little more to save time, for what must seem like tedious work.

>>8203567
unless you have some severe problem with your hand it seems pretty pointless

>>8203618
WTF anon I thought this was a good idea I went to the grocery store today and asked the deli counter to dice it they just looked at me like I was crazy.
FUCK YOU LIAR 0/10

>>8203925
Please be true

>>8203567
considering i just cut me finger badly yesterday cutting an onion, yes that's a good idea

Why not just cut it in half to make it lay down well on a flat surface and cut from there

>cut onion in half
>place on flat side
>cut thin slits close to the back of the onion, but leaving enough so the onion stays intact
>turn and cut across slits

Easier and safer than what you're doing OP

Too easy. People on this board need more convoluted/needlessly dangerous instructions. & Most importantly: some arbitrary shit to bicker over.

Are you guys new?

After 6000 years of civilisation, do people still need to be taught how to slice an onion? Apparently!

>>8205139
yes. after thousands of years, basic math still needs to be taught as well

>>8205139
well if nobody taught it how would people know how to cut onions?

>>8205207
Like I learned: Used common sense.

>>8205069

I was waiting for her to cut her finger off at any moment. Not that the knife was sharp enough.

>>8205175

>Not keeping as many things clean as possible

>>8205175
not worth the hassle of extra shit to clean after when I'm using a knife to prepare other foods at the same time anyway

>>8205235
yes

>>8203618
I have increasingly worse arthritis in my fingers to the point where I have to stick my hands under running hot water for minutes at times for them to work as intended.

Even I can cut onion and fucking bell peppers with ease. Unless you have hardcore cerebral palsy or something, that shit is inexcusable.

>>8203909
>Implying that's a PlayStation

$1.50 for a .30 onion.

>>8203606

step it up anon. I buy mine pre-fried.

Nigga, it's a gamecast

I buy my onions pre-eaten

>>8205041
This is what I do. Does anyone go further and lie down the sections at the end and slice those?

>>8205843

ramsey's extra horizontal cuts are what makes his technique GOAT. they make a big difference..

>>8205843
That sounds mad gay. Either dice them finer to begin with or just cross chop them.

>>8205871
The onions are already segmented along that axis, those slices are pretty pointless.

>>8205882
I learned it that way at culinary school so it's probably the proper method.

>>8205882
Depends if you originally cut it longitude or latitude.

>>8205069
>marie

gets me every time

>>8205092
I've always done the horizontal slices first then the vertical ones, does it make a difference?

>>8203567
neat, wonder if it works on tomatos.

>>8203644
I love living in a small farming town, no niggers, cheap produce, fresh cuts of meat.

>>8203644
>This can't be real. For what reason whatsoever would anybody ever buy prechopped onions, or even pepper?

Most people have jobs and families and don't have time to prepare all their food from scratch like you apparently do, you retarded NEET

>>8205898
Not really, since the layers go from outside to in. Obviously the inner layers aren't spherical, but the difference is still negligible if you're dicing it finely anyway. If I need it super fine, I'll just use a cheese grater or just cross chop if it isn't immediately to hand.

>>8205139
>after gorillions of years of evolution slicing vegetables is still not innate behavior

That's a weak excuse. I have a wife and 2 kids aged under 4 and I am perfectly capable of chopping Onions on a daily basis to cook meals

Onion question: do you eat red onion raw or sautéed?

I love him, he does a great job of explaining the personal connection he has between a specific dish and some moment in his life. I attempt cook the stuff I remember most fondly. I'm going to try baking a lemon wedding cake this weekend (I remember from a really awesome reception many years ago).

>>8205985
both

>>8203644
This is true. The same applies to music, actually

>>8203627
I'm pretty sure you can cut onions with cheap knives.
>>8203633
Sounds like it might be worth it for you.
