I like bigger onion pieces in my cooking -- nm - Peglegpete Dec 2, 15:18 1
- for a stir fry, I'll halve then make vertical cuts and call it a day. -- nm - Reagen Dec 2, 15:20
they left out the key info. refrigerate the onions first -- nm - Peglegpete Dec 2, 15:12
That's how I always do it. -- nm - jnine Dec 2, 14:45 3
- Same -- nm - decline Dec 2, 15:06
- Do you also hold the knife like that? I believe I have been doing it wrong. -- nm - loosilu Dec 2, 14:54 1
  - I can't see exactly how they're holding it, but I think so. -- nm - jnine Dec 2, 18:41
*hold red onion in your left hand, throw red onion in the trash* -- nm - Max Dec 2, 14:45 4
- Heathen. Red onion is best onion. -- nm - Reagen Dec 2, 14:49 3
  - mmmhmmmm you know. -- nm - amanda jeans Dec 2, 17:41
  - Do you ever pickle them? yum. -- nm - loosilu Dec 2, 14:52 1
    - not often, but I should do more quick pickle stuff. -- nm - Reagen Dec 2, 15:10
That just looks like the standard way...? -- nm - Mop Dec 2, 14:35 10
- really, you alwqys do it in quarters? that's not how I usually see people do it on cooking shows. -- nm - loosilu Dec 2, 14:38 9
  - FWIW, I don't recall ever slicing an onion before. But I've watched it many times on TV and streaming, and this appears to be how they always do it. -- nm - Mop Dec 2, 14:45 8
    - You don't cook at home? -- nm - Krusty Dec 2, 15:03 1
      - God no. I have 3 children. If it's more than mac & cheese and chicken nuggets, I'd die. -- nm - Mop Dec 2, 15:07
    - I usually see them slicing half onions and making horizontal cuts first. -- nm - loosilu Dec 2, 14:49 4
      - Yup. I've always seen on shows and done it in halves not quarters. -- nm - Krusty Dec 2, 15:02 3
        
        I HATE doing the horizontal cuts. I"m always afraid I'll take fingers off. Yes I am scared of the damn thing. -- (edited) - loosilu Dec 2, 15:06 2
        
        I just don’t bother with the horizontal cuts. -- nm* - znufrii Dec 2, 15:13 1
        
        Yeah, you can skip it and just chop it up some more if they're too big -- nm - Krusty Dec 2, 15:46
    - Do you dice it the Code Red way? Put the whole onion into a sock and then whack something with it a dozen times to smash the onion to bits? -- nm - Max Dec 2, 14:47
