[@EtherealVei1]

[@kevina.2269]

[@quantillaprudentia1345]

It’s totally fine… there are a few ways to cut an onion, on UA-cam you can even find a few videos from master chefs about it

[@andriataylor4758]

Took my phone in the kitchen with me. Chopped an onion, put my dinner on. Sat down at the table , opened the UA-cam app and this was the first video on my feed 👀

[@lovelygirl630]

That’s exactly how I cut my onions just came here to see if I have been doing it right! … Thanks 😊

[@Mr.Safety.]

Wrong dont cut the eye off otherwise it will bleed and you'll cry

[@khadija6594]

Hahaha....that's a Gordon Ramsey's trick😂👍👍

[@jahadams949]

She didn’t cut off the eye she cut the but of the onion off

[@jaydenarnold878]

The eye it’s the root. She cut the bottom

[@asirramnosnibor119]

Thanks so much for teaching me bless you

[@Leo-kf6zy]

Love this shit, always struggled with the onion peel

[@user-ev5bc4bl9w]

[@Watermeloncatinyourbedroom]

Thanks for the help making barbecue burgers for my family

[@LightDreamerz]

Thank you for helping! I'm 17 and still trying to learn how to cook. I've always cut onions the wrong way and I wanted to learn how to properly do it.

[@aprilfoozeler]

Dude same I’m 17 too 😂

[@user-og9bp6cb5w]

this isn't the proper way though

[@aprilfoozeler]

@@user-og9bp6cb5w eh wdym?

[@user-og9bp6cb5w]

@@aprilfoozeler you're supposed to cut vertical first the cut horizontal, look at other videos and theyll show you.

[@EleniKlostrakis]

me too im 17 trying to make stir fry chicken rice!

[@rampz975]

Thank you this helped !

[@ynwricharson]

Thanks it really helped

[@ants_in_my_eyes_Wilson]

I see that you are slicing it orbitally. That makes it sting your eyes more and release more of the onion smell. You should be slicing it from root to stem.

[@auremxa]

Just use a wet paper towel under, problem solved.

[@jonathanhendrix2925]

​@@auremxa and have cut up wet paper towels on your onion cuts? Smh

[@CrustyGhost]

You were right…😅😅😅

[@VijayKumar01234]

Wear helmet and cut. 😂

[@brandontownsend8685]

Like the beats and music

[@iestynwilliams9000]

Thank you

[@TransportSimulatorNationTSN]

Thanks

[@makarymetzger2627]

I always cut off the root

[@prelznp]

Straight to the point!

[@ziyaandzay]

Thank you I always cut my onion wrong I had to see this video to know how to

[@meltingspot1064]

You don’t peel off the rubbery first layer?

[@srijabehera3499]

Thank ❤s

[@vpin]

im 40 and just learned how to chop onion lol😅

[@stevenboehme4647]

It’s bad technique and just wrong

[@mystarfield]

Now i suddenly want to slice an onion.

[@bongie7318]

What i'm i doing looking up how to cut onions. For god sake im 27 but i do love the music 😂😂😂

[@chocolatecupcake341]

Thats Why They Be Hungry Again So Fast, This Damn Liquid Diet You Got Them On...Every Thing Be Watery . Need A Dam Straw For Everything You Cook😢

[@torresbeverly4588]

Onions made you cry

[@Okbuddybuddy]

👍🏻

[@sassysalmon93]

You’re supposed to cut root to stem. Always cut with the grain not against with an onion.

[@akiyoedwards]

Are the teen boys here?

[@julianvenizelos04]

Not even ashamed of having to watch this video to learn

[@Baba_Yaga_87]

I do sll this and when im slicing it the dam thing falls into pieces

[@Strange_Brain]

song ??

[@robertneely2276]

Why would you make a video on how to cut an onion and then cut it in the wrong direction? That’s wild

[@morganarnold2901]

I have a random question- at my job I cut lots of onions- why don't we take the core out of the onion first and then slice it? you can see at the end you have all the ugly core pieces and I haven't really found an answer? O find that no one wants a core piece in their salad and then when caramelizing onions they don't render down? Sp wouldn't it make sense to take the core out? thank you! - aspiring chef

[@PH4RX]

The core holds everything together. If you cut it off first, the rest falls apart while cutting and increases risk of injury.

[@JesterEdx]

[@Unknown-to-you703]

Step 1 should be : apply goggles

[@JoeJoe-wp1vv]

That's why you don't cut off the root end, then it won't make you 😭😭😭cry

[@almostThere_xx]

Is that going to make me cry

[@sanoberkhan8513]

What type of onions are those?

[@JoeJoe-wp1vv]

The cooking kind 🤣🤣🤣

[@thetruth3316]

​@@JoeJoe-wp1vv hahahahah

[@jatinderkaur623]

This is an onion or a coconut 😂

[@mayasharma5598]

Who’s watching this after slicing the onion horizontally?

[@dief_hesh5584]

how about diced onion?

[@yaneproduction]

now Kiryu can make a good curry

[@thakidd5299]

Im bout to be 23 😅

[@redemption2901]

I mean I can't cook so thx for da tutorial but that ain't the reason I'm commenting...bro the music u got what's the name for no reason at all precisely 3 am in the morning that shit is slapping for unknown reasons and I don't even listen to that type of music normally either

[@AtticTapes14]

Good. Just get rid of music or lower volume of music

[@PARlS23]

Definitely do not cut half your onion off when taking the dry tops off

[@MrMariodipi]

you dont havev to cut the top the root because its gonna make you cry faster

[@gokul_ml]

Instead going straight down, i always go to the centre of the onion.

[@strezz1560]

Useless. Don't make videos about things you don't know

[@jclif52]

Ok but what is this song 😅

[@AtticTapes14]

Make your shorts 60 secs/1 min

[@KidFury27]

[@blinky2k2]

[@b-jo8zk]

make the videos shorter
