Notes
How To Cut An Onion For Hot Dogs & Burgers
First things first, make sure you are using a sharp knife as this will make cutting an onion fairly easy.When making caramelised onions, I like to slice the onions into thin lines (remember, the thinner you cook the onions the quicker they take to cook).I start by peeling the skin and cutting the onion in half, then I lay the onion flat side down. The onion is then cut into fine long strips. If you want, you could also dice the onion into small chunks. However, for traditional looking onions, cut them into long lines pole to pole.
