How to cut onions properly

Girls, I want to share how to finely chop the onion. It was a surprise for me, all ingenious is simple

Peace be with you bakers!
DJ - all ingenious is simple
well i would not say
my son \ chef \ cuts onions you don't have time to follow like an electric chopper
but he is special
but with a ceramic knife \ or some other no less sharp \ yes, as shown in the video several times across
and the knife is sharp and the onion is slimy
so you can make a salad not with crab sticks but with your own fingers

shade will learn from your son.
I cut like in a video, on the contrary it is convenient, the onion does not come apart, and ugh, ugh, I did not cut anything

I'm not a cook at all, but I've been cutting onions like that for a long time. The most important thing when peeling an onion is not to cut off the bottom and not cut it completely. Pay attention to how large a piece in the video is left uncut. I never cut my fingers (with this method). And the professionalism is visible - the knife does not come off the board, but the bow moves. This method does not work for me.

And I do the opposite - I leave the tail. It is more comfortable to hold, fingers away from the knife and less waste.

I do that too. And the cooks teach this way, also because there is the most bitterness in the tail, and if you do not touch it, then there will be no tears from the onion juice. Try it!
