Chopping Onions

[BK_Adores_Chase]

Need to chop onions but want a faster way?  Quart the onions, place them in a blender and cover with water.  Process on high speed for a couple of seconds.  Drain.  Easy as 1,2,3.  They will not loose their flavor.

Thanks for the tip. I will have to try it. I always hate to chop onions but this makes it sound easy.

this is a great tip but you should also let people know that this is best done in a blender with a glass pitcher. if it is done in a plastic pitcher it will be very difficult to get the smell/taste of onion out of it and then other stuff you blend (milkshakes, etc) may be onion scented or flavored- ewww! my blender has the plastic pitcher but also has 2 the single cups so i have labeled one of the cups for the specific purpose of blending onions, garlic, etc

See, I didn't know that.  Good adding.  I have a glass blender so I didn't think about that.

thanks for the tip.  Never have tried chopping that many at once, I could see it saving time later.

Gosh that sounds really easy.  I love onions but hate messing with chopping them. And if they do not loss flavor that is perfect.

I have an easier way.  I have a chopper, where I quarter the onion, turn the chopper on and its  done in seconds without the water.  Have been doing it like that for years.

Now if I could just get someone to come over and use my blender...

I don't dare to chop any. I tear very bad when I do it.

That... Is brilliant!

[BK_Adores_Chase]

Yeah, I'm saying if you can't afford or don't want to buy a chopper.

Thanks for the tips on chopping onions.  I have manual chopper that I use.  It has a handle that I press up and down that causes the chopping blades to chop up and down as they rotate when I press the handle down.

I didn't think about plastic keeping the odor of the onion so that was an eye opener.

It brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it!
