i thought after a year of dicing onions i wouldn't be the cryjak but here i am, crying every time
is that why i don't cry when making pasta, because the boiling pan is next to me oh god how could i not have seen this before (i was crying)
They called me the onion guy at my last kitchen job because I was the only one who could take on a pungent onion without crying
Got em
Imagine having tear ducts, total noob mistake
Please, if you have the money to spend on such things, buy a good kitchen knife. Keep it sharp and clean. It makes all the difference in the world for basically everything in cooking. You won’t cry cutting onions as much because a good sharp knife doesn’t crush a bunch of cell walls.
hate to praise grodon ramsay but this is genuinely a reducer in crying and more importantly just an efficient technique
youtube should not do fucking tiktoks but this is a capitalism :deeper-sadness:
Vertical video sucks but there are still so many better options for how to convert a horizontal video
- Don't
- Reshoot it in vertical
- Just have a black background rather than a blurry stretched garbage mess
What's the point of those two horizontal cuts when the half onion is laying flat site down? The onion is already layered so no need to add an extra cut that way.
they're straight across but the layers are semicircular, so they're still making the results finer. not strictly necessary but makes the result a little more finely diced
Hm yeah I was thinking about the semicircular thing as I typed that. I guess that's a good point since the pieces near the bottom of the half circle won't be as finely cut. Geometry, let me tell ya folks :trump-anguish:
not cutting your onions in a deep sea trench
:pog-dolphin: Get a load of that surface dweller! :pseudorca:
Only cut onions in the shower, and always cut onions in the shower.
Cutting onions can't make you cry if you're already slumped against the wall of the shower, crying.
Help, my onion is inconsistently diced and my penis is perfectly sliced.
The best onion texture is when they're baked on a pizza or on the top level of a casserole, i love the mouthfeel when the cell walls have been scorched to the point where it looks like the onion equivalent of a flattened Bernie :flattened-bernie:
pizza is the worst one because places will put it under the cheese and then you take a bite of decent looking pizza and it might as well be full of hair.
more reasons why "topping above the cheese" is the way to go (i'm also assuming the cheese is vegan, anything else is counterrevolutionary).
and it's all bad! everything from raw to caramelized, whether it's disrupting the texture of a meatloaf or being crunchy in my soup.
a little green onion on rice is ok but the standard culinary onion has never been a good time.
