I'm a former ARMY cook, safe to say I've chopped tons of onions (literally, maybe?). Put the onions in a bowl with ice water for 5-10 minutes, or refrigerate overnight, before cutting. That always works for me. I've tried the "dont cut the root end" method and found it to be hit or miss. Thanks for the reviews! always fun to watch.

Yeah, the root thing is an old wives tale. The best thing is to use as sharp of a knife as possible. Sharper knives damage fewer onion cells, which is what produces the gas in the first place. Methods mentioned here is the best option if your knives aren’t too sharp.

Yea, the best thing is a very sharp knife. But the issue with the cold onion method is that onions warm up as you are working through that... unless you're quick. Then there's the fact that there's a reason the leave the root on thing happened... and it's not to prevent tears. It's the fact that you leave the root end on to keep it from falling apart as you slice into it and then cut across... you will throw away the root end anyways, so just leave it on until you get down to it and then toss it... the crying part I'm willing to bet comes from chefs crying when you don't do this ... lol. Either way, Googles should work if you get a darn good seal... though if you don't get that seal, then it's pointless it will get in there if you're doing enough. Vapors get through the tiniest cracks.

Chef's cut carrots quickly because: A) They use a knife that's better suited for cutting things like carrots B) Lots of practice. C) "rock chop" or "straight chop" motion - aka the tip of the blade stays on the cutting surface and all you're doing is pushing the back of the blade down to cut. For "rock chop", you're pushing the blade forward slightly as you push down and all you move is the carrot. If you weren't using a paring knife, you'd have more success "flying through carrots".

And while he has his fingertips tucked in, he doesn't have the blade against the finger joints, which quickly controls the size of the slices by sliding the guiding hand back along the carrot. Edit: also a damp paper towel under the cutting board stops that sliding around problem.

The very first onion chopping method is how I always cut onions! And, along with that, I do a trick my mom taught me: rinse the peeled onion under cold water and dry off. Then cut. Or you can cut it in half thru the root THEN rinse both halves. The idea is that you want to rinse some of that onion juice away first. It seems to help and it works for me!

The dollar tree sells thin flimsy cutting boards which are brilliant. Put a paper towel to keep it from sliding around. When ready, just pick up the ends and the chopped items slide down into your bowl. They last forever so we have several including one designated just for meats. I never knew the onion trick of leaving the root ball on. Thanks for teaching me something new. And for people with carpal tunnel or arthritis it's very difficult to hold onto a carton. That handle would come in handy. Sadly though it is very expensive for the ones who need it.

The cutting board has been around for a few years. I saw it on the review part of a talk show and eventually found it in Walmart for a decent price. It was bright green with non-slip strips and very stiff. The stiffness made it hard to lay flat because of the shape of the handle which needs to bend upwards as you press the board flat. I had better luck near the edge of the sink or a counter, so the handle could stay down. I think the current company claiming the “original folding cutting board” is Joseph Joseph. This one fixed the stiffness part (maybe a little too much), but cheaped out on the silicone nonslip strips.

I would much rather get the two pack of flexible cutting mats from Dollar Tree and that way if there's too many cut marks in it or if it gets too dirty and you can't clean it then you can throw it away. It rolls up very easily so that you can put your scraps into the trash. And then it straightens back out again. And if you needed to stop sliding on the counter all you have to do is wet the bottom of it and it won't slide

First: bit disclaimer - worked restaurants/foodservice for 40 years. The cutting board, its warped before you even started cutting. It not being flat, for individual not overly experienced with knife cuts, you have self cutting hazards. Your onion demo: first, your demo there was a way of dicing an onion, more so than reducing the fumes related to crying. One variation that can help is: cut in half; peel; cut of tip and root; let sit for at least 10 minutes. If you have a lot of onions to get thru, you’ll get thru more than you normally would. I've used this method when i needed to 50lb bags at a time. The fan or even worse, a lit candle (nothing like warm to hit onion fumes hitting your eyes) is so-so.

If you have trouble getting things from the cutting board to the bowl, I highly recommend investing in a bench scraper/dough cutter and using that to help scoop food off the cutting board and into the bowl. You don't even need a good one; I use a cheap plastic one that works great. Just put your non-dominant hand on top of the food and use your dominant hand to push the scraper underneath the pile and lift. Much safer and more effective than doing that with a knife.

Six Sisters Stuff swore by the paper towel method. A very wet paper towel at the edge of the cutting board between you and the onion. She said the icky noxious stuff heads towards the wet mucus membranes of the eyes. Instead of your eyes, they hit the wet paper towel. I tried it and was shocked to find that it really worked.

60 years ago we used that kind of milk carton holder. In those days the plastic was much sturdier. (The cartons were wax coated cardboard with no plastic spout.) I have no idea how much it cost. It might have been a promotional gift from the milk company.

Glad to see the little caricature logo is back in the rotation! I always liked it, and the one with you and Bailey even better!

My anxiety watching you cut on that dangerous cutting board, it should have been called the Slip and Bleed, lawsuit’s are probably why we haven’t seen it until your amazing video! Thanks James and hello Mrs.White❤!

Tip for onions. If you choose to cut the roots off... Wash the white milk that the onion secrets with water and you won't cry. Though I eat so much onion that I am immune to its powers. I hope this helps those who cry.

The best solution when cutting onions is to do it under water. No tearing up at all 😉.

The trick to not crying while cutting onions is to not become emotionally attached.

🍃👩🏻I completely agree with you on that cutting board. I don't like it. I find it, unsafe and dangerous. The fact that it moves around while you're cutting, the knife can easily slip and cut you. Since wearing Contact Lens, I no longer have a problem with cutting onions. One time while🍳 frying, the grease splattered, and hit the left contact Lens.. I could have seriously hurt my eye, if it were not for my contacts. 👀 I now use a Round Mesh Splatter Screen with a handle, they work perfectly.

A little strip of shelf liner in the handihandle seems like it would fix the problem of the smaller containers sliding out

We had similar pour assists for square cartons years ago! This is nothing new. The folding board can be easily made by making the fold channels with simple tools and design can be changed to personal choice of pour. I use a thin silicone pad for opening jars and holding hot dishes to keep slippage to a minimum. The damp towel mentioned before by the Master chef is a good alternative for large objects. The onion glasses are unnecessary! Cutting the onion top off first and pealing the skin down greatly reduces the smell and tear factors. The root end uncut with the skins pulled down can become a handle while prepping and disposed of intact with less tears and messy skin pieces. I enjoy your videos and especially the common sense remarks. No pricy stainless steel gadgets are necessary to remove unpleasant food odors from hands, just use a tablespoon while rubbing it over the hands under cool tap water. Regards…

A damp tea towel under the slap chop will stop the sliding. One of grandma’s tips.

Maybe the slap chop cutting board is only meant to be used with the slap chop so you can easily pour the stuff you just chopped. Also it seemed like it folded so the handle was like a funnel. I think it might work well if you regularly use the slap chop
