    Maybe some quick tip for cutting onions is to put them in the fridge before cutting and using sharp knives (obviously) to reduce the tears. Or at least I notice a difference between cutting warm onions and colder ones from the fridge.

    WOW, I wish I had seen this video sooner. I learned the culinary school method from another video but I had my onion the wrong way around the whole time & was using the back part of the knife (I'm a simple home cook not a chef), this lesson is really helpful. I've watched famous chefs like MPW and GR doing this but honestly Chef James explains it better in a way that is easy to understand for home cooks - the steam engine motion I can relate to and try and use my knife with that movement 😃

    Thank you so much Chef for this helpful video. I really love onion in the food but slicing it right was really tricky, dangerous using sharp chef knife & I'm not chef by any means. This video has helped me so much and given me confidence to do much more in the kitchen.

  • @peterschaffter826
    @peterschaffter826 Рік тому

    For brunoise and fine mince, I find it's easier and safer to make the horizontal cut(s) first. When slicing for onion rings, make 4 - 5 scores in the top layer instead of just one and peel off each section from tip to root. You can see James struggling when he makes just one cut. No need for a paring knife. The base of a chef's knife does the trick. James, you are the best culinary teacher I've come across online.
