Onion FAQs
- On a cutting board, remove the stem end of the onion and trim the root but leave it otherwise intact.
- Cut the onion in half through the stem and root, remove the outer layer of onion skin, and place the onion cut side down.
- Cut parallel slices of the desired thickness vertically through the onion from the root toward the stem end without cutting completely through the root end.
- Make a single horizontal cut on a small onion or two horizontal cuts on a large onion, again without cutting through the root end.
- Turn the onion and cut slices perpendicular to the other slices to produce diced onion. Make the thickness of these slices similar to the thickness of the vertical slices.
