How do you dice onions?
Video: How do you dice an onion?The most important thing about dicing an onion is to breathe through your mouth! This will keep you from tearing up while dicing.The first thing you want to do is cut the top off of your onion (NOT the root end). After you cut off the top, then you can grab the edge and peel off the skin of the onion.Hold the onion firmly, but tuck the tips of your fingers inward as not to cut them with your knife. The next thing you are going to do is make parallel cuts on your onion, slicing from the top to the root without cutting through the root. You do NOT want to slice all the way through the onion. Make several parallel slices from top to bottom, getting as close to the root as possible. Make your parallel cuts as far apart as you want your diced pieces to be.Next, turn your onion 90 degrees, and make another series of parallel cuts (from top to root without cutting through) perpendicular to the cuts you already made, so your onion looks like a grid.Then, holding your onion pieces together, place the onion on its side, and start making downward slices.You now have a diced onion!
