The tip for cutting an onion WITHOUT the risk of cutting yourself.

It's not easy to cut an onion.

Because of its shape, you can cut yourself easily if you don't have the right technique.

How to

1. Instead of peeling the thick skin right away, just cut off one end of the onion.

2. Then fold over the thicker parts of the skin to form a natural handle.

Result

There you go, you can cut your onion into small pieces without risk :-)

This handle allows the onion to be much more stable. Especially when you get to the end of the cut.

With this trick, you will easily manage to cut the last small pieces that are normally difficult to cut and hold at the same time.

Very handy if you're not a cutting pro, like me;-)
