It obviously isn't the only way to cut onions, but IMO, it is the safest. With this tecnique, you are not "chasing" the onion with a very sharp knife but are creating a flat and stable surface before you cut into it. It works well with tomatoes as well.

I had a lady teach me this tecnique when I was a teenager and have never forgotten it. Good thing, I use about 4 onions a week. My question is, what is that awesome looking knife you are using? Hmmm.

Love this method of chopping, though I usually slice vertically then horizontally halfway through to the root as well, since I usually can't get my slices to be that thin!

I did learn this years ago watching Two Hot Tamales on the Food Network. I loved their show! They offered lots of hints like how to pick fresh fruits and vegetables. Like you know when a pineapple is ripe when you pull one of their spiky leaves out easily. Tips I have never forgotten! Thanks Ree!
