What's the best way to peel an onion?
I'm a pro at dicing an onion. My issue is always peeling it. The papery skin is so tough to get off, and I'm never sure just how many layers to peel off.
Does anyone have any sure-fire tips on how to peel an onion in 2.5 seconds every time?
Best Answer
- Cut the sprout end off.
- Place the cut end on the board, slice the onion in half vertically (i.e. place your knife on the root and cut down)
- If the outer skin layer is nice and thick, pull it off from one corner. Repeat on other half.
- If the outer skin is papery, pull it and one layer of onion flesh off from one corner. Repeat on other half.
If the first layer of onion flesh is slightly dimpled or has a kind of matte finish, it's probably turning 'skinny'. Strip that off too.

How do you peel onions easily?
To easily peel onions, simply chop off the top and the root of the onion. Peel off the onion peels by hand itself and put it in the freezer before you begin cutting or chopping. Alternatively, you can soak the peeled onion in a bowl of water for 15 minutes so that the pungent smell goes away.Minecraft wait what meme part 133 realistic minecraft Cow

Answer 2
- Cut both ends off
- Score vertically, i.e. run the knife down from top to bottom gently so it only cuts through the first layer or two
- Peel off the outer layer(s) as needed.
I don't like to slice until I have the shell off and I find with scoring I have it all off in one movement.
