How do you chop an onion?!

To peel an onion, cut a thin slice off both ends!. Make a thin longitudinal slice through one layer of onion; the peel should now come off easily!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Put the onion on the cutting board and make criss cross cuts almost all the way through it!. Once this is done cut it in half and lay the two pieces on the flat side and cut all the way through!. A large chefs knife works best for this!. Lay the last piece of each side flat and run the knife through it!. If you want smaller pieces make smaller cuts then run the knife through the pile until your pieces are the size you want them!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I chop it in half from the top to bottom (not horizontal)

then I cut along the lines, but not all the way, then I turn it and put a cut through it horizontally, but not all the way, then for a final cut, I'll chop it vertically!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
