Today I'm going to show you how to cut an onion.
First peel your onion and make sure to leave the root intact.
That'll just keep the layers together. And you can go ahead and start making
your vertical cuts. Don't go all the way through the onion.
Now some people will tell you to make a horizontal cut at this point.
If you don't need a really fine onion diced I would skip this step altogether
it could actually be quite dangerous because you're moving the knife towards your hand.
So just make your cross cuts at this point. The onion is layered
so you'll get a really nice dice out of it.
And that's it, pretty easy how to cut an onion.
Some people also asked what can you do about the crying. Honestly, there's not
much you can do about the crying so my suggestion is just cut your onion
have a really good cry out, you'll feel much better after.
