Onions are a staple ingredient in many recipes, so knowing how to properly cut them is essential. One of the most popular cuts for onions is rings, which can be used in a variety of dishes. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to cut an onion into rings.
1. Start by peeling off the outer layer of the onion. Cut off the top and bottom of the onion so that you have a flat surface to work with.
2. Slice the onion in half from the top to the bottom, then slice each half in half.
3. Slice each quarter onion into thin strips, then cut each strip into thin rings.
4. If any of the rings seem too large, you canAlways use a sharp knife when cutting onions to avoid any accidents. Also, be sure to cut onions in a well-ventilated area as they can cause your eyes to tear up.
1 sharp knife
A sharp knife is the most important tool in the kitchen. A dull knife is more dangerous than a sharp one because you have to use more force to make it work. A good chef’s knife should be able to handle anything from slicing vegetables to chopping herbs.
1 cutting board
You need a cutting board that is big enough to hold all of your ingredients, but not so big that it’s cumbersome to use. Wood and plastic are both good options, but make sure you get one that is dishwasher safe.
1 large bowl
This will be used to catch the onion rings as you cut them. Make sure it is big enough that the onion rings won’t touch the sides when you add them.
1 small bowl
You will need this for the egg wash. Make sure it is wide enough that the onion rings can fit in it without touching the sides.
1 plate or baking sheet
This will be used to hold the breadcrumbs. You want a plate or baking sheet that is big enough to fit all of your onion rings, but not so big that they will be spread out too thin.
1 cutting board
1 knife
1 onion
First, cut off one end of the onion and peel it so that the edible layer is exposed. Cut the onion in half so that the uncut end from before is divided in two, then slice the onion the long way. Finally, cut the long slices into thin pieces by cutting across them.Now you have perfect onion rings!
Steps
Start by peeling off the skin of the onion. Cut off the root end and the stem of the onion. Cut the onion in half from the root end to the top. Slice the onion in half from top to bottom. Slice the onion in half again. Slice the onion into thin strips. Finally, cut the strips into small rings.
Peel the onion
To peel an onion, first cut off one end of the onion and then cut the other end off. Peel off the outer layer of the onion. Cut the onion in half, then slice it in half again. Cut the onion into thin rings.
Cut the onion in half
Start by cutting the onion in half, then peel off the skin. Next, cut off the root end and the stem. You should now have two white onion halves.
Now it’s time to cut the onion into rings. To do this, make lengthwise cuts into the onion, being careful not to cut all the way through to the other side. Then, make crosswise cuts to create rings. Finally, separate the rings.
And that’s all there is to it! Now you know how to cut an onion into rings.
Slice the onion vertically
Start by slicing the onion in half, vertically, so that the root is still attached to one half. Slice vertically again, keeping the root attached to one piece, until you have four or five wedges. then, peel off the outermost layer of the onion skins.
Next, make a horizontal cut across each wedge, about ½-inch from the root end. Again, make sure not to cut too close to the root or your rings will fall apart. Finally, make vertical cuts from the outside of each wedge towards the center, being careful not to cut all the way through so that your rings stay intact.
Slice the onion horizontally
Start by slicing off one end of the onion and peel it so that the edible layer is exposed. Cut the onion in half so that the uncut end from before is divided in two, then slice each half in half. Once again, slice each of these pieces in half. Now you should have eight equal-sized wedges.
Next, take one wedge and make lengthwise cuts perpendicular to the ones you just made, being sure not to cut all the way through the root end. Continue making these cuts until you’re about halfway to the root end. Finally, make crosswise cuts perpendicular to both sets of previous cuts, angling them towards the root end so that all of your onion pieces are attached at one point.
Separate the rings
Cut off the onion’s top, peel it, then cut the onion in half. Cut off the root end and the other end of the onion. Slice the onion vertically, making thin half-rings. Separate the rings.
