Topic: How do you finely chop your onions?

[JerryM]

Bobby,

home economics was optional for us - i too did metalwork and woodwork.

laughing no more i can tell you - your a star.

this technique is definitely different but the business

[Bobby Bhuna]

Hahaha! Nice one Jerry! So you've cut, photographed and documented my onion chopping method by 9:30 on a Monday morning. Talk about dedication! ;D

All very interesting,

I use the nicer dicer, peel and quarter the onions,
place in, slam top down,
perfect every time,

Mick

TikkaMik,

not that i'd ever consider buying one - but where would u get a nicer dicer from or do u have photo

[TikkaMik]

Hi Jerry,
why wouldn't you ever consider buying one, great little gadget,
got mine off Ebay, great for fine chopped peppers as well,

TikkaMik,

thanks for link - postage is a bit off putting - now i know what they look like i may just keep an eye out for one - purely interest of coarse 

[Bobby Bhuna]

I genuinely can't tell if that's a pun or a typo

[JerryM]

it's genuine - i know gordon ramsey won't find it good practise  and some will be disappointed on my potential caving in - but these days i do find myself spending a fair bit of time chopping and given the recommendation then it's got to be worth a try.

TikkaMik,

ebay is looking good. spotted one of those ugly dicer thing?s in asda. how much - you won't believe it ?29.

i get the weekly Lidl Newsletter email and of course skipped straight over "Multipurpose Grater or Chipper".

http://www.lidl.co.uk/uk/home.nsf/pages/c.o.20080609.p.Multipurpose_Grater_or_Chipper.ar7

u would need to inspect it to establish if it's any good. it's in the shop on the 9th but of course i can't see anyone being interested.

the BB home economics onion cutting skills are coming along - even my good lady has noticed a change in culinary skills (i keep dropping the onions as they are more slippery with the skin on).

[TikkaMik]

Hi Jerry,

That looks like one of those slicers that will take off your finger tips off if you slip off the guard, not for me,

i'll stick to my dicer,

I remember seeing the nicer dicer at about 30 quid on the late night shopping infomercials, you know the sort of shite you watch when you can't sleep,

looked on ebay, seemed a bargain straight away,
