Impress the folks at home by learning to chop an onion just like a chef! First, peel and halve the onion, place one half on a board. With the knife blade pointing from top to root end, and make vertical cuts down through the onion without cutting right trhough. Then turn the knife blade flat and make a few cuts across horizontally. Lastly, holding the knife as normal, cut down through the onion from top to bottom. Small dice should fall onto the board – and don’t worry about speed – that will come later!
