How To Chop an Onion and 22 Other Vegetables Like a Chef!
But before we start, I want to stress how important it is you always use a properly sharpened knife. When using a sharp knife, you have to always be careful. But using a dull knife, even when you are being careful can be even more dangerous.
When using a dull knife, it is more likely to slip and cause an accident. This is probably the most important point to remember when using a knife. A properly sharpened knife will slice through vegetables or other items smoothly, requiring less downward pressure and effort.
But when using a dull knife, it becomes much harder to cut through items, especially if they are hard such as a carrot, requiring more effort and downward pressure. Using a dull knife is a recipe for disaster. Always sharpen your knives before you use them.
So if your knives are sharpened, and you are ready to go, let’s get chopping!

I made it all the way to the end! no need in my life to learn how to cut fennel! Interesting tomato traditional method – looks like when you want tomato but not so much juice. cauliflower has always been a mystery, I’ve always rested it whole in foil with butter and soy sauce kind of a stem roast, other than that I’ve cut it up and had crumblies all over the place – mess!! same for little trees (broccoli)!
