Dicing and Slicing Onion Demonstration

Dicing and Slicing Onion Demonstration

Dicing and slicing onions can be intimidating.  It takes a lot of practice to perfect the technic. However, slow in the beginning is best, so you won’t chop your fingers off!  Taking the time to cut and slice properly will ensure it gets done without incident.  Watch this dicing slicing onion demonstration to save your fingers and help you develop the best technique.  Also, be sure to use a sharp knife.  Knives are critical to the home cook.  Investing in a good quality knife is relatively inexpensive since it will last you a lifetime.  I’ve had my Henckel knife for 35 years.

So often we try to sharpen the edge, and the result is disastrous.  A wrongly sharpened blade happens when you remove the critical edge to the blade.  I do however use a small sharpener to clean up the edge. I recommend having a professional sharpen your knife.  You can find these on Amazon for a reasonable price.
