      The horizontal cut helps the diced pieces come apart when you throw them in a pan. Its not necessary unless you are cooking in a high end restaurant that does too high volume to worry about separating the bits by manipulating then with a spoon/spatula

      The edges tend to be slightly oblong and a little bit larger than one might like ideally if you don't do the horizontal cut, but for most purposes, it's not necessary.

    • @DevilBlackDeath
      @DevilBlackDeath Місяць тому +22

      We literally see at the end of this short why. The "vertical" slice is done flat on a cylinder, so you end up with pieces that don't look "diced" (like the ones at the bottom left of the short at the end). This is logical as the very edge of the cylinder almost match the direction of the cut. Cutting horizontally specifically goes against that direction. But to be fair you only really need the horizontal cuts at the bottom half, the top half is fine without it.
      As for someone doing it the best way, I have to wonder why he'd remove the end before dicing. Keeping one end keeps the onion together much better as the ends are harder and you end up dicing all of it.

      Because Brunoise. Method in video is great as a rough cut method. You can see some irregular sizes and is perfectly acceptable for homecooking. However if you want the whole onion to be uniformly 1/8th inch squares, ie brunoise, then horizontal cuts saves time over repeatedly smashing a knife threw a pile of rough cut onions.

      The middle cut is for a fine dice, brunoise as another comment mentioned. If you want your dice’s to be exactly even and fine, the horizontal cut is necessary. But for home cooking? It’s not at all necessary. It can be fun knife skill practices though, especially if you aren’t a professional chef dicing multiple onions a day. But if you just need to get dinner ready, rough dice is more than adequate.

First they cut like "Ding Dongs" and second they were cutting a quarter dice for an overnight stew. I taught them the proper way and we breezed through the rest in about an hour. I'm glad you show people how to do things. I figure if you can make it easier for them more people will try cooking for themselves. I am amazed at how many people eat out all the time.

      I tried to explain soooo many times...
      yet people couldn't see the sense in my description...
      I stopped doing the horizontal cut after a few days after being taught to chop onions in the restaurant's kitchen where I started my first job in 2004...
      that cut was a waste of time..
      I had a bag of 20-25kgs of onions to chop per day...
      I saved a lot of time without sacrificing the quality...

      This wouldn't work with an apple, as it doesn't have layers. The onion layers is what makes that horizontal cut unnecessary.

Sadly my mother died last year and I know she would have Loved to have watched you as well for your easy to follow instructions and mostly for your great sense of humour!! ❤

    @Kyle-hx4ee Місяць тому +7

    That's a valid point! Onions are naturally layered, and many chefs argue that horizontal slicing isn't necessary and can be risky, as it involves cutting towards your hand. Since the onion layers already create a natural grid once vertical cuts are made and then sliced perpendicular to those cuts, this can be sufficient to achieve a dice.
    The choice to slice horizontally might depend on personal preference or specific culinary training. Some find it helps achieve a more consistent dice, especially for recipes requiring very uniform pieces, while others prefer to rely solely on the natural layers of the onion to simplify the process and reduce the risk of cutting themselves. Ultimately, both methods can work, and it often comes down to the chef's technique and comfort with their knife skills.
