Knife skills -- Onion dice

When I first started cooking, I hated to cut onions.  I could never attain a uniform dice and it seemed like I was chopping forever.  My pain, your gain.  Hope this makes your cooking more enjoyable and timely!

 Halve onion like this.

 Peel off skins.

 First horizontal slice. Add slight pressure from above.  Leave end attached.

Second horizontal slice.  Leave end attached.

End is still attached.  Vertical slices to desired widths.

 Turn onion 90 degrees and slice.  Instant, uniform dice!

Ready to cook!
