When you're sobbing over your breakup with your first high school sweetheart, it's not easy to cut onions like they're cut in a restaurant. If you're lucky, the following tips will teach you how to cut beautiful onions correctly.

Method 1: Cut

1. Lay down the onion and let the onion head face to the right.

2. Cut off the left and right pedicles (this must be cut vertically).

3. Place the onions cut side down. Cut in half vertically.

4. Take one half and place the larger cross section downwards so that it faces upwards into a bow shape. Cut out about 7 mm vertically from the right side. Cut the other half in the same way.

5. Most onions will separate themselves into beautiful bow shapes. Those that are stuck together can also be easily separated by hand.

Method 2: Chop

1. Cut off the onion head

2. Cut the onion in half.

3. Peel off the outer onion skin.

4. Cut the slices toward the center of the onion. The thinner the better.

5. Turn the center bottom to the left and then cut the flap horizontally. This way the onions can be chopped successfully.

Method 3: Cut into cubes

1. Cut the onion in half from top to bottom.

2. Cut off the root of the onion and throw it away.

3. Peel off the onion skin and throw it away.

4. Place the onion cut side down on the cutting board.

5. Use a large and sharp knife to start cutting the onion. Make several parallel cuts along an axis. This should be in the same direction as when you cut the onion in half. If you want to cut the pieces smaller, you can make more cuts so that the distance between the cuts is smaller. On the other hand, if you want the pieces to be bigger, just keep them farther away and cut fewer cuts. Depending on the size of the pieces you want, you can make anywhere from 2 to 10 cuts.

Leave a small portion of the top of the onion "uncut". This way the onions won't fall apart when you cut the next few steps. Basically, any cuts you make now don't completely separate the onions.

6. Cut the onion in half in the same direction. Instead of cutting vertically, cut horizontally. If the onion is large enough, you may be able to make two or three equally spaced cuts. Again, don’t cut the onion completely. Leave a little bit of the uncut portion of the onion at the bottom so it doesn't separate. "If these steps cause the onion to separate, then you didn't cut it correctly."

7. Then cut the onion into right-angled faces along the vertical direction and cut it into small cubes. If you want a smaller one, increase the frequency of cutting. Otherwise, reduce the frequency of cutting. Cut all the way to the end, the part you never cut before.

8. Cut a small part of the bottom along an axis, and then cut off one. It should also cut into small onion pieces similar to other small cubes.

9. If necessary, repeat the above steps and cut the other half of the onion.
