Cutting An Onion

METHOD FOR SLICING AN ONION FROM STEM TO ROOT

1 Cut off the stem end of the onion, by about 1/4 to 1/2 an inch.

2 Cut off the roots, but keep the root end intact. An intact root end will help hold the onion together as you make the other cuts.

3 Place the onion with the cut stem side down on the cutting board. This will stabilize the onion. Cut the onion in half through the root end.

4 Peel back the onion skin and place the onion halves cut side down on the board. If you want, to help keep your cutting area tidy, peel off or cut off the onion skin from the root end.

5 Cutting along the natural lines of the onion, make angled cuts into the onion, aimed at the center of the onion. Cut almost all the way, but not all the way, to the root.
