My whole life I've been slicing onions from root to tip across the grain, but just now I found out you're supposed to do it WITH the grain??

>>21965280Chefs secret is to cut the core out and then fuck then onion like a small animal.
>>21965303what if you dont want a mince, stupid
Depends on what you want with it. They just keep their shape a little longer if you slice with with the grain but it's honestly not that much a of a difference
>>21965318>Depends on what you want with it. They just keep their shape a little longer if you slice with with the grain but it's honestly not that much a of a differenceThe two different ways of cutting make the onions absorb liquids in the pan differently. Cutting across the grain will make the onion break down more quickly, and absorb into sauces better, if you just want the flavor. Cutting with the grain is better for texture, and keeping more fresh onion taste.
>>21965315no
>>21965280i also recently switched, used to cube but now i'm liking the long strands of onion
>>21965280Just die already
>>21965460more fastfood threads perhaps?
I just swing my knife like a madman and hope for the best. Theyll never make me cry again
>>21965280depends on what you're cooking
I don't ever consider any of this at all, I just slice and dice them however they come
>>21965280You're supposed to throw the onion away since it sucks, it's yucky, bad, all around awful, and it's overall better used as a chemical weapon
>>21965517Shoo - the grown ups are talking.
>>21965520more like the stink ups, because you stink, for eating onions
>>21965517>it's overall better used as a chemical weaponyou'd be a shit warlord
Both are fine desu just for different reasonsgupalse
>>21965550Don't crush my dreams like that
>>21965561you're not even good at psy-op bait.i have no use for you other than front line to waste the ammo of the enemy.sincerely,war>>21965280you cut across for fresh onion on a burger.you cut with to dice.>>21965315it's called diced.minced is smaller than diced and best prepped in a food processor, then you scoop that soup you just made into a cold bin with one of those plastic separators so the liquid drains away from the onion pieces.
>>21965280It doesn't matter, nobody can tell the difference when they're cooked
>>21965280i find the slices you get from cutting across the grain ugly, flabby, and incelishthe slices you get from cutting with the grain are sleek, aesthetic and futuristic
