When it comes to dicing an onion, our biggest challenge is to do it without tearing up. There are many hacks that help prevent tears when dicing an onion, but can you do it without a knife? Onions can make many foods better, and cutting them is a process that requires a bit of time and brings tears to your eyes. Here’s how to do it without a knife.
This useful trick comes from TikTok user @scubeskitchen, a creative guy who decided not to use a knife for chopping his onions. Instead, he uses two resealable plastic bags and a meat tenderizer. The video below shows his process.
First, he takes a whole, unpeeled onion and places it in a small plastic bag. Without sealing the small bag, he puts it in the bigger bag, which also doesn’t need to be sealed. Sealing the bags would trap the air and increase the risk of a bag breaking in the middle of the process, and we definitely don’t want that.
After the bags with onion are ready, he starts the satisfying process of smashing the onion. This leaves the skin separated from the rest of the onion and it’s easy to remove it. The onion is diced and ready to be added to your favorite food!
