Cutting onions can be so incredibly painful. Until now with this tip.

They are in almost every dish. And they are the worst to cut.

If they aren’t making you cry, then they are being too slippery to cut.

This is why I (and I am sure many many others) groan every time they see “1 diced onion” in the recipe. Which, let’s face it, is pretty much every recipe.

Which is why I am in love with this life hack on how to cut an onion. Simply. With no hassles. And with the knife skills of a toddler (my level).

Then cut down through the onion.

Making perfectly diced onion. You're done.
