That's what proper kitchen tools are for.
I have a vegetable chopper.
Lid off, onions in, lid on, turn ten times, chopped onions.
Get yourself tools that allow you to be lazy without compromising on quality
Have to disagree. If you're being lazy, buy frozen chopped onions. As long as you're not going to chop more than two onions, a kitchen knife will be faster than a chopper. Also, I hate monotask-tools. They sit in the drawer taking space 95% of their life.
I chop almost everything with it, throw it into the dishwasher, and then use it the next day again.
There are many things that sit longer in my drawer than the chopper.
Different shields for different fields, probably.
Same. My mom has something for everything and she has an entire shelf for all of them.
For me, it's the clean up. Cleaning a knife and a board is so much faster than a bunch of plastic parts.
You forgot to wash out the chopper and clean the knives.
Dishwasher
That's the big problem.
The worst part of chopping an onion is removing the skin that always falls to pieces and makes a mess that's hard to pick up. I don't see how this solves that.
Why don't you just peel the onion directly over the trash can?
For one, never thought about it. But now that I am I'm 6'5" and my trash can top maybe comes up to knees, sounds pretty miserable. I guess I could get a bag and set it on the counter though.
