My Mom was a short order cook for years and taught me this same way. Then, my Dad (who was an engineer) taught me the #1 rule of engineering "don't fix what ain't broken!" So, I don't try to fix something cooking-wise that already works. Great video and thanks!
Thank you John for the correct way to do a slice onion for a hamburger! I am a novice at 64, recently divorced. I learning how to prep the Basics my meals. Help me, help me Rhonda!!!
Thank you for the GREAT videos! I have learned a few new tricks and reinforced a Ton of stuff I do in the Kitchen every day. For us home cooks, a Mandolin/V slicer works quite well to substitute for an electric meat slicer. Nice even slices and usable right to the last slice of onion. Quick too! I slice a batch and store in a sealed container for ready assembly to a plate.
How did you get to the centre of the onion? First there was the whole onion, then you put that aside and grabbed an already cut to almost half onion for slices large enough for the burger. What happened to the first bit of the onion?
It really grinds my gears when i get a burger with diced onions on it. Also you can saute the onions on the inside and just lightly cook the 2 outer rings so they are still crunchy and can hold the sauted onions in place.
Thank you for the info. I guess I never really thought about it in terms of actually biting into a burger. What's your opinion on diced onions that we see on some burgers from major chains or hot dog garnish. Cheers
I let the chain restauarant do their thing. Whenit comes to my kitchen I want to see properly slice onions. I can't stand coming in to the kitchen and seeing ziplocks of onions cut any which way, and later find out it;s because someone requested onions on their hamburger, (I work in senior living) hence the training and the video. It also is nice to have everyone trained to do it properly so their is a standard set and it is being cut the same way no matter what time and no matter who is cooking. Personally I prefer diced, and on my patty melts I like the grilled onions-Thanks for the awesome questions and thanks again for watching
Hey! question, do i have to season the vegs (tomato, onion, lettuce and that good stuff) for the burger? or they go natural? sometimes i feel that they lack flavour, thanks in advice! great video
I don't really pay attention to the color of the cutting board and their assigned codes. I wash the boards and the counter and sanitize after each use. I was cooking long before this was implemented in the food service industry. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment

I used to cut onions any which way for a burger until I learned pole to pole from serious eats. Nice vid my friend.
I appreciate you watching, Have a great day!
I’m happy just getting what I ask for on a burger!

I'm not seeing any places cut the onion this way anymore. But it makes so much sense.
I appreciate you watching, have a great day!
Thank you for the lessons!!!

I re-watched the video and can't see what you mention, answer me with the time this happens
I always sliced my onion like that, but I had no idea why I did. Just dumb luck I guess - Thank you Chef, I do appreciate the lesson.
Thanks for watching!
It really grinds my gears when i get a burger with diced onions on it. Also you can saute the onions on the inside and just lightly cook the 2 outer rings so they are still crunchy and can hold the sauted onions in place.
Thaks for watching! I love a good crunchy onion on my burger, and I love sauteed, but when I want sauteed I get a patty melt. Thaks for watching
Great information, my friend
Thanks Chef!
So should we add just the rings or whole slice?
the whole slice or a couple of rings, its up to you. Thanks for watching
How to cut it straight though by hand? Usually I start off fine then it gets more slanted as a slice more of the onion
Use a good knife and long even slices slowly. Practice😀 practice practice
Useful video
Thanks for watching!

Hey! question, do i have to season the vegs (tomato, onion, lettuce and that good stuff) for the burger? or they go natural? sometimes i feel that they lack flavour, thanks in advice! great video

I believe I may have said equator. Thanks for watching
Thanks I'm going to make a veggie burger with onions now.
Hope you enjoy! Thanks for watching!
I think my issue be that I cut mine too thick because the onion be over powering the burger. Great video
I appreciate you watching. Have a great day!
If someone doesn't get the "Earth" analogy, then they've got more important educational videos to be watching!
Indeed! Thanks for watching!
It never even occurred to me to cut it the wrong way...
some people don't know
Do you have to use such a large knife?
No, as long as you have a steady hand and are comfortable with it. Great question. Thanks for watching
I think I'd slice my hand open the right way
I appreciate you watching..good luck!
I am here in 2021 hello

If you cut an onion on a red chopperboard...I assume you marinate your steaks on the white one,am I right?🤔
I don't really pay attention to the color of the cutting board and their assigned codes. I wash the boards and the counter and sanitize after each use. I was cooking long before this was implemented in the food service industry. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment
But how do you not cry
I'm dead inside...lol...thanks for watching!
Good sharp knifes make you cry less.
If someone needs to learn how to do simple onion slices, they should NOT be opening a food stall or a restaurant.
Constant training and coaching. Sometimes a cook never gets taught the right way
That's correct.
That's correct
Isn't this common sense
you would think so
Not to everybody. Are you that dumb?
Way too thick of a cut
I am showing proper technique not aesthetics
@@ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood thank you. It was still a helpful video.
