How to Dice and Onion (or anything)

...By Request :)

You are trying to make "little squares," when you dice.

Chop the ends of your onion (and remember to save them to make vegetable broth!)

Peel the skin.

Place flat on cutting board.

Cut length wise 4-6x depending on how large you want the pieces to be and how large the onion is.

Place flat on cutting board again, with the layers stacked.

Cut length-wise again, 4-6x, again depending on the size you are looking for the diced pieces to be and how large the onion is.

Now it is cut in two directions.

With the stacks of sliced onion still sitting flat-end down on your cutting board, cut them again in the opposing direction you just cut them (so the cuts will be perpendicular to the cuts you just made) Now you have diced your onion.

Now you can dice potatoes, yams, tomatoes, onions, etc etc etc.
