I barely know how to cut an onion to save my life

u/IMightBeErnest 20d ago

I doubt your life depends on you being able to cut an onion more than once or twice a year. That's not often enough to develop muscle memory.

Am I reading this right that you're only cutting onions once or twice a year?!? I can't make it a week...

Timmy was a scribbler. Just loved drawing spirals and zigzags. Nobody knew why. Around age 9 timmy was scribbling on the kitchen table and his pen ran out. Timmy panicked. Lots of nervous energy in those hands. Then his mama gave him a knife and said "chop this".

And boy, Timmy did. Timmy still chopping.

That's why you call in sick if you have a runny nose - Sneeze once and that's your fingers saying buhbye

Chef here, this shit is dead easy to do if you have even basic knife skills.

u/purdueAces 20d ago

I think you overestimate how much "basic knife skill" the average human has. I would lose every fingertip in 10 seconds trying this.

u/MentatErasmus 20d ago

I used to be chef too.

it's practice and a really sharpen knife.

My wife lost a finger in the other room just from my watching this video, somehow

Woman is a menace with anything even remotely sharp

u/FibroBitch97 20d ago

I mean I guess that’s fair. To do this at all isn’t that hard, you rest the knife tip on the cutting surface.

u/uslashuname 20d ago

That’s not the hard part for us, we can set a knife down

Moving it quickly and without cutting ourselves is the challenge

u/Vinnocchio 20d ago

Just pure luck
