And then do in reverse once it's clean. And you're wondering why it seems like too much trouble...?
Plus you still need the knife and cutting board anyways to chop off the ends of the onion before peeling it. So it's not even instead of, it's in addition to.
Much less time to dice it yourself for one or two onions. Ten or twenty onions, OK it's food processor time.
- pfdietz 1y agoReassembling a food processor takes mere seconds. Overall, doing all this is much more convenient than manually chopping onions. It's not even close. This is one of the ideal use cases for a food processor.
- crazygringo 1y agoMaybe you're really slow at chopping onions? It takes like 15 seconds to dice an onion once it's peeled. Taking out, disassembling, rinsing, racking, unracking, reassembling, and putting away a food processor takes much much longer, any way you slice it. You're right, it's not even close -- manual dicing is always going to win for just a couple onions, unless you're already using the food processor for something else.
