Chopping an Onion - Trick

Have you ever had a problem chopping an onion?  

For me my eyes water like crazy and burn! I learned this awesome trick and have not had ANY issues!! It's amazing and it takes 1/4 the time it took me to chop regularly.  

I hope this helps you too.  

Start by cutting the ends off your onion and pealing it.  

Next cut horizontal lines in your onion about 1/2 way down. 

Next cut vertical lines 1/2 way down in your onion creating a "box" with the cuts

Then turn your onion on it's side and slice

MAGIC! You now have diced onion in about 2 minutes!!
