I accidentally started using this method when my knife needed to be sharpened. LOL That part of the knife made the job much easier because it hadn't been used as much as the remainder of the blade, so it was still very sharp.

Semi-pro tip, you can do the exact same with a bolstered knife, too. You just use the blade a little forward of the bolster. It's the exact same motion, technique, and everything else. You just position the knife BACKWARDS enough so that the bolster doesn't touch the shallot/onion/etc. Or if it does touch, it doesn't crush anything.

@@hschmicknos I've seen 2 recipes on YT posted as original but have newspaper clippings of EXACT ones from LA Times Food Section from 40 years old with original attributions. Integrity is not taking credit for something you didn't create. Lan could just as easily have omitted to state where she got the technique. THAT'S integrity.

This is how all Japanese chefs mince shallots and garlic. Most Japanese knives like the one you were using don’t have the bolster like western knives making them more versatile, being able to use the entirety of the blade rather than just the forward part.

And to make it even more simple, skip the horizontal cuts entirely. Onions and shallots are already pre-segmented, cutting lengthwise and across is perfectly sufficient.
@einJona
@einJona 15 дней назад
Eventhough this is true for the inner part, the left and right side will have slightly bigger pieces without the horizontal cuts. But still generally, I totally agree with you - the benefits of making the horizontal cuts are way too small and make the onion even more likely to fall apart in my opinion. So I just avoid them in the first place!
@doughertySD
@doughertySD 11 дней назад
Yep, the size differential is why it's done. Means that it all cooks at the same time. But given that not much of it will overcook (although it does introduce the risk of burning if inattentive), as you say, it's generally not worth it.

Another clever way, I learned from a chef, is to make the cuts in a radial fashion, we don’t need to cut horizontally vertically, just orthogonally to the growing rings. So if you have the onion or shallot, and then make your cuts going “crossing to the rainbow”, then you can do your crosscuts after that and be done. It’s faster bit safer, and honestly easier too. Maybe I should make a video of it sometime.

@FreekHoekstra
@FreekHoekstra Месяц назад
@@HeidiJohnson01 i’ll see if i can make one. But think of always cutting a pie, we made cuts towards the center This case we don’t want them to all end up exactly in the center, because then we have small pieces in the middle and larger pieces on the outside, But that’s the general idea, and then the rings of the onion make sure that all the pieces just fall apart after that when we crosscut
