Title: How to dice an onion
Post by: Donald Brasco on September 12, 2014, 07:00 PM

Some people will think it's too basic to even watch (those with closed minds never learn anything) but this is exceptionally well presented I think

Without watching the video (I don't have a closed mind, but I do have finite bandwidth and am talking to my wife in Abu Dhabi via video-link as I type), I would suspect that he par-cuts in two planes (90% separation) and then finishes off with a 100% cut in the third plane.  Would I be right, Donald ?

Diced / finely diced/ chopped / roughly chopped / sliced / thickly sliced / grated...

...guess it might all taste the same at the end of the day. I think the point here is that this technique  makes dicing as easy as say slicing, which people may have been put off doing because it is more fiddly than (say) the rough chopping or slicing?

Basic knife skills and proficiency, the FIRST thing you learn in a kitchen and so important.
Our GR demos the same classic dice technique, close up in HD, very good and so he should be. :D
