      It depends what your making. If you’re making something with raw onions or very slightly cooked/pickled then texture is extremely important. If your eating a salad with raw onion you don’t want to have a (comparatively) giant piece of onion every 3 bites

      I’ve seen it before. It’s not worth it for home use but the reason is that it’s the only way to get perfectly consistent cubes which is the important part. If you cut an onion with all its layers, not matter what you will end up with a small amount of slightly triangle/rectangular shapes. Some restaurants care about that, but it’s a huge contribution to waste esp in that caliber of restaurant

    Hi, I work in not fine dining, we use a blooming onion press, which is basically an apple corer with double blades. Fun fact, our Nemco we use at work is 600$ for no reason.
    Top, don't bottom. Pull skin off. Push the apple corer down until you're about 1/4 of an inch from the bottom, you can use the handle of your knife to judge stopping distance. Pop it out, repeat so you half your slices. cut the whole onion in half, then dice.

Dude not only said you're cutting onions wrong (which is wrong) but also suggested they do this in ALL fine dining restaurants. Which is all around, WRONG. If he's worked in every fine dining restaurant in the world and they all cut onions like that, I'll take the L. But you're almost as stupid as your initial comment if you believe that.

      I mean, what he's saying is kinda bullshit. The first method of how most people cut an onion works just fine for making them thin. You just need a very sharp knife and skill with a knife. And when I say sharp I mean sharp enough to give you a clean papercut like cut if you cut yourself. It's way safer to use a knife capable of cutting into you like warm butter because it's easier to stitch up and will heal better than a very jagged and torn up cut from a dull blade.
