martha stewart…as a professional chef i must say i am appalled that centuries old techniques(that have worked fantastically for hundreds of years)are being casually tossed aside for personal convenience. your method, while practical, does not produce uniform pieces or consistency. not to mention it appears slightly dangerous. there is also the issue of flavor. there will be more bruising and bashing done to the layers of onions in this martha technique…taking away valuable onion flavor. make sure you have a super sharp knife, and use the proper method. practice makes perfect. practice makes you faster.

I’ve always wondered if there was a better way I could be cutting my onion! I’ve got one of those Pampered Chef chopper things, but I still cut onions myself sometimes. Thanks for the tips. Your method looks so much easier than the way I’ve been doing it!
