Hate chopping onions...
« on: July 16, 2007, 09:05:44 PM »

My mom brought me one of these from the states...its FANTASTIC.
If you can get your hands one one, do!!! They chop onions really uniformly and quickly!!! Even my 93 year old grandmother uses one!!!

I hate it too so I usually just use my food processor.  I LOVE my food processor.  If you get to know me better you will hear me wax lyrical about it  :D
I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that I don't know the answer.

Seriously, this is the best thing ever. Easier to clean and chops onions BETTER than a food processor!!! And uses less energy!!! I made Ratatouille with mine, for my 18 month old and it came out awesome. Nice little anally retentive, Gary Rhodes type squares.

that's like a mandoline, isn't it? i probably just mangled the spelling of that, but they come in so handy!

I have to find that thing; it is beautiful.  ;D Maybe then I will do more cooking. (My husband might just get a break from it!)

You do?!? Some people's eyes water when they chop onions, but I have tears literally rolling down my face non-stop. I can't even see what I'm doing half the time.

Not if you wear contact lenses!

Mine doesn't! I chop onions for myself! It's all about meeeeeeeeeeeee!

Not if you wear contact lenses!

Oh, I see! I'd never thought of that!

I wonder if it would be OK if I wore sunglasses when I did it?

I don't think that would work. Contacts dry your eyes out a bit so the tears just aren't there.

About 90% of the time I use my food processor, it is to chop onions. We use a lot of onion, and I HATE chopping them. My husband doesn't mind, however, so if I'm feeling too lazy to get the food processor out, I just have him do it.

That definitely looks like a useful piece of kit.

I get it now. I was just thinking maybe the sunglasses would act as a barrier to some degree.
