I learned this way from a chef on a food truck (albeit with the parallel-to-the-board slices first, then the vertical chops)! It is by far the most efficient way to dice an onion but it requires a very sharp knife, which not everybody maintains.

Yeah, those of us who've been through a thing or two have been trying to warn Americans in all this time. But those who get it don't need any explanations, while those who don't get it won't listen to any. Oh well.

The onion thing: I learned from the old Julia Child show, The French Chef! It still feels like a magic trick.

"How to cut an onion" isn't very helpful, because it begins too late in the process. How do you get the skin off, without also cutting off most of the root? If you don't cut the skin off at all, then you get a lot of tough inedible pieces with your diced onion.

I strip off the outer leaves from the top, by hand, usually.

I chop the onion in half tip to root, leaving half the root on each piece, then strip the outer layers from the handy cut edges.

me too

After slicing the onion in half I then strip the outer layer off. Tends to come off pretty easily, peeling down to the root, and then detaches fairly easily there.
