Learning something new everyday...

[HRC_64]

Thought I would post this up for starting a thread about technique...
I really like learning a new technique of cutting, and always on the lookout for something interesting
anyone use this style of cutting day-to-day?

A small round indent in a cutting board (or a small wood ring to sit the onion on) would make this super easy as you’d be able to cut down to the board flat

I was wincing at the lack of finger curl and waiting for him to cut himself. Otherwise, I can see where if speed is more important than getting a carefully-sized chop, this could work with a long enough knife.

I just use the classic method, works well enough and I don't need super speed. For a really fine mince you can do this, and I'll do use this method occasionally when I have time (and patience):

his way of finely minced is mushy squished onion, yet his second 'domestic user way' was way better, haha.

A. There’s absolutely nothing of value that can be learned from that annoying dork.
B. If you need that much crudely diced onion, buy a Nemco 55500.

Its not so much the idea that it is a "perfect" technique, its more the idea that its different and original.
Of course sometimes "different and original" is a long way of saying worse :lol2:

If it's not better than it's not worth learning.

For someone who can do it with more accuracy.

Interesting, love the spine on that knife as well

Oh I agree he's annoying. Also pompous, misogynistic, and a commercial shill. But I have learned one or two things from watching a few of his videos. Just have to substitute the real thing when he says "and then you add Knorr Stock Pot."
:razz:

Too bad he didn't use that spine to sweep the onions off the board.

I'm not going to lie, I saw this picture and spent a few minutes wondering why his octagonal handle was rotated 90 degrees...

Yeah, that 90* sweep looks cringe AF :lol2:

Good eye. Ha. I've read those IKEDA handles can be masive,
but that does look a bit absurd...

Has anyone used them and liked it?

I regret wasting a click on that.

Also French. :lol2:
