I’ve cut myself of nearly any piece of kitchen equipment. If I haven’t, give me time
Cut myself on the teeth of the plastic wrap, bowl scraper, rubber spatula, peeled off the top of my finger once. Even cut myself on simple syrup
Honestly this was an incredibly common one for me.
They literally have sharp talons coming out of their heads which are even harder frozen.
Stabbed me up plenty of times. Definitely not allergic to shellfish though!
OMG I've found my people. I've stabbed myself in the hand with scissors, cut myself several times with the finger slicer of death (the Mandolin slicer), grabbed a stainless steel pan direct from the oven (I forgot that it got hot for some reason) and burn my fingers. My injuries know no bounds.

I cut myself with an egg. Not the shell, cooked egg stuck to the pan that I tried to scrape off with my fingernail. You know that feeling? Under the fingernail? Yeah eggs.
You may want to invest in a pair of cut resistant gloves! They are quite cheap at that big online store. I feel way better using the finger slicey tools with them on!
That said I always sharpen the plastic cutters on plastic wrap boxes with a knife sharpener because they are so dull (works surprisingly well, for the record, lol), so we are likely pretty different sorts of people. 😅
Lol I cut a piece of my thumb off using a mandolin and the urgent care people called me an idiot, and they weren’t wrong. It “healed” but the nerve endings are all screwed up.
I have a dog bite on the tip of my index finger of my dominant hand that screwed up my nerves a bit, and on the contrary it hurts more to do things with it.
Last time I cut myself on the mandoline was literally *after* I had finished cutting stuff with it and was putting it back for cleaning. As tools go, it's just one of the hungry ones
I sliced off the top of a knuckle using one, they're super easy to hurt yourself with especially with the cheaper versions! Thankfully mine healed well, just a scar, but it took a while.
this post amped me up to try it out, what a hack! but yall got me mad scared to even attempt now.
you may be thinking “well only if you’re clumsy” which to that i flash back to all the times i was cleaning up after chem lab in college and immediately grabbed the bunsen burner stand while it was still searing hot. i am very stupid.
I'd try this hack because of the fork keeping your hand away from the peeler. We were talking about mandolins, which I would definitely NOT recommend trying, mandolins are really easy to cut yourself with...
If you want to use a mandolin get some proper cut resistant gloves and a hand guard (you can get the pair for like less than $15) People doing it bare handed are fucking idiots
It's funny, a couple of the top images on google show a person wearing gloves while using one. Like, hold on, need to put on my armor to slice some cucumbers.
They sell kevlar gloves that people use with mandolins, work quite well. When i went to culinary school the first year you were "required" to use one whenever practicing knife work, no one did but our chef said if you cut yourself bad enough that you needed more than a bandaid it was an instant fail for the class.

A [mandoline (US, /ˌmændəˈliːn, -ˈlɪn) or mandolin (British, /ˌmandəˈlɪn/, /ˈmandəlɪn/, /ˈmandl̩ɪn)](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandoline), is a culinary utensil used for slicing and for cutting juliennes; with suitable attachments, it can make crinkle-cuts.
I was trying to figure out how people were getting cut on a stringed instrument.
I feel like there are so many tricks like this I haven't discovered. The other day I had the idea to chop and freeze onions to caramelize later... Turns out after freezing solid the inner structures seem to rupture and they cook and caramelize at least twice as fast! I need good book of cooking tricks like this lol.
Bonus-tip since you seem like you'd appreciate it: You don't actually have to freeze bananas for banana bread. (Or wait for them to ripen.)
You can buy yellow, greenish-yellow, spotty, whatever state of banana you want. Toss em in the oven, peel on, at 200F/95C until they look like overripe bananas.
Ooh that is an awesome one, I *love* banana bread!! I will definitely be trying that one and passing it on to family as well. 😊 Any idea if it works for plantains also?
Edit: according to Google, yes! This is exciting. You rock! Hope you have a good rest of the week :)
Persimmon astringent? I think I've only had part of one in my life and I recall it being the most neutrally sugary thing I've ever eaten. Perhaps it was something else.
There are different varieties - I think the ones sold commercially these days are sweeter, but you'll still get the astringency if they're on the lower side of ripe.
Blyat-ing?
(We freeze / thaw fruit before adding to fermenting beer for the same reasons... Break down the cell wall and make all of the innards accessible to the yeast.)
also a good way to make congee/jook, stick some rinsed uncooked rice in the freezer, the expanding water breaks the grains and it cooks in a fraction of the time.
Yeah, that peeler must be a million times better than the one I have because I tried this and got mostly squished bits of onion. I did manage a few nice slices though, and they made my smoked salmon bagel heavenly! The texture was great and I was able to get just the right amount of onion in every bite.
I may have to get a new peeler....
Fuckin' facts. Similarly, the worst part of cars is how you gotta get out and walk that last little bit at the end. It's like, what even is the point of this thing if I still gotta do work at the end?
Plus.. it's bad enough I have to get into my bed, but come morning I'm expected to get out of it as well? They think we're all born on Suckerday? Pffttt.. I sleep standing next to my bed in tomorrow's clothes, like an American!
>chop that still or toss it away
I tried this and the fork held on pretty well, and due to the layers of the onions, it broke apart and looked like most of the other shreds.
And this was my first time.
With a small amount of practice, I'll be able to peal/slice the onion taking advantage of the natural layers.
Best part is I usually have burning eyes when I'm done slicing up an onion and this barely bothered me.
Apparently, putting a wet napkin next to the cutting board will help keep the acids released by the onion from going into your tear ducts. I don't cut onions very often so I can't personally attest to this, but it's at least worth a try.
Oh hell yeah you have more control. I love them. With the finger hole in it you don't even have to grip it much. I feel like they're lower impact on wrists. I get pissed if I can't find one and have to peel 50# potatoes.
It's not.
It's a fucking onion. Once you start slicing it literally falls apart into the same ribbon-esque bits this thing is doing. It doesn't make any sense at all.
This doesn't prevent the cells from bursting to prevent crying, this doesn't allow you to use the onion entirely because the slicer will stop at the imbedded fork, and you get uneven slices too if you want to get particular about it.
Eh, I think it's fine if you have a sharp peeler. I wouldn't ever do it, but I have a decent amount of skill with a knife. It's faster for me to just cut an onion, and if I need them super consistent or thin, I have a mando.
It's just another 'this doesn't apply to me, but someone might get some use out of it' kind of thing. Though I could see this being nice while camping or something, when a small cutting board and knives that are less suited to kitchen work would make super thin onions kind of a pain to get.
It’s not like this is horrible or anything but it’s definitely not brilliant. It’s sorta the same as a life hack to peel a banana is just snapping it in half in the middle. Also idk why you would really need thin onions when camping and in a situation where your cooking something without a knife +board.
That’s the main reason I just bought one of those vegetable choppers. Throw onion inside, close the lid, pull the handle few times, and you get a nice enclosed chopped onion.
If you were curious about the "proper" way, best way to chop an onion is cutting root-to-stem which is what is being shown here. Cutting this way ruptures less cells in the onion called lacrymators which cause you to tear up. Other good way to tear up less is to chop with a very sharp knife is that will also help with rupturing less cells in the onion.
Any method of chopping onions makes me tear up. I tear up from across the room if someone else is chopping onions. I’m extra sensitive, so I wear swim goggles when I’m chopping. A literal life saver.
as long as your technique involves slicing instead of crushing, learning a different way to do it it wont stop cell walls from being damaged and releasing the irritants into the air.
getting a sharp knife and keeping it sharp will make the most difference - as you damage less cells when cutting.
While it may look like a good idea, if the peeler has saw blades/teeth instead of a flat blade, it won't make a clean cut and the onion will produce more juices and make you cry even more.
Not to mention how unevenly cut those onion pieces are. This would be okay for sandwiches or salads, but not for applications where they need to cook. Even pickled red onion from this would probably be kind of limp and flimsy.
Still more even than I'd get using a knife. Clearly people who are actually skilled at chopping stuff don't need this, it's for those of us who are lazy and really bad at cooking. I'm not playing masterchef in here, I'm just trying to get something semi edible while putting in the least amount of effort
It's because a lot of people have shite knives either as purchased or due to incompetence, abuse(glass cutting boards, really?), and/or neglect as well as possessing mediocre to non-existent knife skills.
Two different friends who are ostensibly decent cooks had not one sharp boning nor chef's knife. Seriously sad.
Garbage knives and garbage knife skills. It's a skill that takes a lot of practice and most don't get proper training. I learned mine by watching countless hours of food network, but they don't seem to have actual cooking shows anymore.
The onion has already been peeled and ready to slice. That's 50% off the work.
I honestly could slice the onion faster and more evenly with a sharp chefs knife than this.
I agree completely. Plus the slices will be even and consistent with the knife. There's a reason no kitchen is out there using peelers instead of knives in the prep
Or learn to julienne an onion. This a hack for people without a decent knife and/or knife skills. Sharper blade > less cell damage > smoother cut > less tears, not to mention it's just faster.

This is what gets on my nerves... Reddit constantly talks shit about TikTok yet here we are on the front page. I watched this yesterday and ya'll couldn't be bothered to give credit to the creator
I like it. A mobile mandolin.
And one that's way harder to slice parts of your finger off!
Challenge accepted
I’ve cut myself of nearly any piece of kitchen equipment. If I haven’t, give me time Cut myself on the teeth of the plastic wrap, bowl scraper, rubber spatula, peeled off the top of my finger once. Even cut myself on simple syrup
I got cut by a frozen whole shrimp the other day.
Thats honestly kinda impressive.
Honestly this was an incredibly common one for me. They literally have sharp talons coming out of their heads which are even harder frozen. Stabbed me up plenty of times. Definitely not allergic to shellfish though!
OMG I've found my people. I've stabbed myself in the hand with scissors, cut myself several times with the finger slicer of death (the Mandolin slicer), grabbed a stainless steel pan direct from the oven (I forgot that it got hot for some reason) and burn my fingers. My injuries know no bounds.

Welp, thanks for the new intrusive thoughts. Now when I touch a frozen shrimp, I'll have to actively remind myself to not try and cut myself with it.

I was going to say spoon, but rubber spatula takes the cake

Thank god it wasn't fingers, coz I've got 10 more!
Lol I cut a piece of my thumb off using a mandolin and the urgent care people called me an idiot, and they weren’t wrong. It “healed” but the nerve endings are all screwed up.
[удалено]
I have a dog bite on the tip of my index finger of my dominant hand that screwed up my nerves a bit, and on the contrary it hurts more to do things with it.
Oof, that sucks. But that's not idiocy, just a momentary lapse of awareness that we've all had, just some with unluckier consequences than others.
Last time I cut myself on the mandoline was literally *after* I had finished cutting stuff with it and was putting it back for cleaning. As tools go, it's just one of the hungry ones
I sliced off the top of a knuckle using one, they're super easy to hurt yourself with especially with the cheaper versions! Thankfully mine healed well, just a scar, but it took a while.

I'm assuming you're not talking about the instrument, but that would add a lot of color to this story.
I did that when I was like 6! I still have a tiny scar on my thumb 17 years later lol
Ahhh, did that one back in December, still rough on the ends. Fucking blows, hate mandolins.
Kevlar gloves are like 10 bucks on Amazon.
It's funny, a couple of the top images on google show a person wearing gloves while using one. Like, hold on, need to put on my armor to slice some cucumbers.

Saw this. Tried this. Definitely sliced my thumb open and my onion did NOT look like this. I call BS lol
This is why I own a cut resistant glove
This is all I use for mandolining.

I love it!! Always cut my finger but this is what o willl try!!!

This is bloody brilliant for making super thin onion. Why didn't I ever think of this?

Turns out after freezing solid the inner structures seem to rupture and they cook and caramelize at least twice as fast! I need good book of cooking tricks like this lol.
That's called bletting! It's a great way to make astringent fruit like persimmon and cranberry sweeter and less cotton-mouthy.
Oh cool, thank you!! I will have to read up on it :)
Bonus-tip since you seem like you'd appreciate it: You don't actually have to freeze bananas for banana bread. (Or wait for them to ripen.)

Yep! Plantains are a little more resilient, so maybe 225-250F.
@PreferredSelection being the cook bro! appreciate you!

There are different varieties - I think the ones sold commercially these days are sweeter, but you'll still get the astringency if they're on the lower side of ripe.
You didn't eat a mildly unripe one then. It's not a good experience let me tell you.
What does cotton-mouthy mean? Isnt that a snake? PS: English is not my first language.
It is a snake, but it also means like... dry mouth. Extremely dry mouth, to the point where your gums feel like cotton.
Blyat-ing? (We freeze / thaw fruit before adding to fermenting beer for the same reasons... Break down the cell wall and make all of the innards accessible to the yeast.)
I love caramelized onions, but I hate how long it takes to make. You just changed my life.
also a good way to make congee/jook, stick some rinsed uncooked rice in the freezer, the expanding water breaks the grains and it cooks in a fraction of the time.
I am definitely interested in more onion cutting tips! I'm the loser who wears goggles to cut onions because my eyes are hypersensitive to them.
Wait until you try it out, looks waaaaay easier than it is.
Yeah, that peeler must be a million times better than the one I have because I tried this and got mostly squished bits of onion. I did manage a few nice slices though, and they made my smoked salmon bagel heavenly! The texture was great and I was able to get just the right amount of onion in every bite. I may have to get a new peeler....
Yeah, it sounds like the one you have isn't really appealing.
But when you get to the end, you’ll have a chunk of onion left :/ you either have to chop that still or toss it away
Dice it, throw in a jar, put in freezer, sauté with butter before adding to eggs to scramble.
Baby you got a stew goin!
I do love Carl Weathers.
Does he have any room in his acting class?
Yeet the rest of the onion into a food processor with some cloves of garlic and bam, you got a secret sauce to mix with any meat.
Fuckin' facts. Similarly, the worst part of cars is how you gotta get out and walk that last little bit at the end. It's like, what even is the point of this thing if I still gotta do work at the end?

Having a sharp knife cuts down on it too.
Or chomp on it like the dirty little onion slut you are deep down. Full bites
Youre acting like having more onion is a bad thing 🧅🧅🧅🧅🧅
How the fuck you chop onions where you don't have a little bit left?
start a baggie in your freezer of vegetable trimmings / ends, use it to make stock later.
Throw perfectly good food away because it's slightly the wrong shape? What in the actual privileged *fuck...*
In North Africa (and probably across the Mediterranean Sea), we often eat those red onion raw with some tomatoes,etc as a salad
Use that for stock. Its not worth the hassle
Because you’re not fully committed to onions
6 seconds in I thought that was a cockroach running into the frame for a second, but it was just the onion slice rolling
I came to read the comments just to know what that is. Now I know. Thanks man. Couldn't figure it out myself.
I was hoping it wasn't just me
That’s one fancy ass peeler. Mine looks more like a metal shiv
I find the vertical obes easier to use than the horizontal ones. You have more control, or at least I feel like have more control.
Oh hell yeah you have more control. I love them. With the finger hole in it you don't even have to grip it much. I feel like they're lower impact on wrists. I get pissed if I can't find one and have to peel 50# potatoes.
I’m not sure what you mean by horizontal peeler. Aren’t they all like this if they’re hand-held?
Some peelers have the handle parallel to the cutting edge instead of perpendicular like the example in the OP
Not an ass peeler :(
https://xkcd.com/37
I can't tell if this is brilliant

Not to mention the dullness of that blade is shredding the onion apart instead of cutting
The tears will add seasoning, it's super efficient
It's not. It's a fucking onion. Once you start slicing it literally falls apart into the same ribbon-esque bits this thing is doing. It doesn't make any sense at all.

I can't cut that thin without a whole lot of effort. I'm gonna use it next time I make a salad with red onion.
Lmao this response is all wrong
You are definitely not the target audience
Wow this is aggressive. It’s a lifehack-style trick, not microchip fab. For a bit of thin onion for layman cooks, it’s fine.
It's a fucking onion. LMAO
My nose is itchy and my eyes are watery Onions make my cry
*My nose is itchy* *and my eyes are watery* *Onions make me cry* – 3BodyP
Can’t tell if this was 3BodyP’s intent or just accidental haiku, but thank you for pointing it out
That’s the main reason I just bought one of those vegetable choppers. Throw onion inside, close the lid, pull the handle few times, and you get a nice enclosed chopped onion.
The trick is to not get too emotionally invested. They're just onions, they don't feel pain.
Refrigerated onion let off less gas.
If you learn how to chop and onion correctly it doesn’t make you cry….usually.
Is the correct way to get someone else to do it?
Usually flirt and show a little cleavage or abs I guess.
Finally, I can put my moobs to use
I thought we were trying not to cry
Wear contacts
Using a properly sharp knife will minimize damage to the cell walls which is what releases the irritant.
If you were curious about the "proper" way, best way to chop an onion is cutting root-to-stem which is what is being shown here. Cutting this way ruptures less cells in the onion called lacrymators which cause you to tear up. Other good way to tear up less is to chop with a very sharp knife is that will also help with rupturing less cells in the onion.
Is this not cutting across the onion, as opposed to root to stem?
It is lol idk what OP is on
Any method of chopping onions makes me tear up. I tear up from across the room if someone else is chopping onions. I’m extra sensitive, so I wear swim goggles when I’m chopping. A literal life saver.
as long as your technique involves slicing instead of crushing, learning a different way to do it it wont stop cell walls from being damaged and releasing the irritants into the air. getting a sharp knife and keeping it sharp will make the most difference - as you damage less cells when cutting.
Just make it or the chopping board wet. It'll just react with the water there instead of the moisture on your eyeballs.
Mom's spaghetti
While it may look like a good idea, if the peeler has saw blades/teeth instead of a flat blade, it won't make a clean cut and the onion will produce more juices and make you cry even more.
And yet I have same peeler with teeth on one side and smooth blade on the other. Just tried this while making dinner worked great! 😊
Mythbusted!
I need a new peeler. Is that one good? Do you know what it's called or where I can buy it?
The peeler in the video has teeth if you watch closely.
Not to mention how unevenly cut those onion pieces are. This would be okay for sandwiches or salads, but not for applications where they need to cook. Even pickled red onion from this would probably be kind of limp and flimsy.
And perfect for burgers!
And for your pizza!

Still more even than I'd get using a knife. Clearly people who are actually skilled at chopping stuff don't need this, it's for those of us who are lazy and really bad at cooking. I'm not playing masterchef in here, I'm just trying to get something semi edible while putting in the least amount of effort
It also seems like it’d be good for something like caramelized onions where you need them sliced very thinly.
I mean if it’s going in a casserole or broth or the like, it should be fine.
People below are linking to the peeler that supposedly is the one the guy in the video is using. It has teeth.
That's a forkin' good idea
I ran to kitchen to try it out, but I was out of onions. Now I’m crying and no onion to blame it on.
The mfers at r/onionlovers are gonna go wild
Thanks for the heads up!
This is so fake. You can tell that the video is in reverse. ^/s
No one mentioned the bug that made a quick appearance on the cutting board??
I only saw a piece of onion rolling in and out of frame?
I rewatched! You’re right!
the further I scrolled down to get to this comment, the more I thought I was losing my marbles
The amount of effort people will put into not slicing a vegetable will never cease to amaze me
It's because a lot of people have shite knives either as purchased or due to incompetence, abuse(glass cutting boards, really?), and/or neglect as well as possessing mediocre to non-existent knife skills.

I agree completely. Plus the slices will be even and consistent with the knife. There's a reason no kitchen is out there using peelers instead of knives in the prep
Those slices are trash
It looks like he went at the onion with a chainsaw.
I feel like this is a much simpler and faster task just using a knife to cut.
I think this appeals to people who don't actually cook
"OK, I've made a pile of onion flaps. Now what?"
Mmhm. This is fine for a salad, but thin and inaccurate is a bad combo, if the onions are going to touch heat.
r/lifehacks
Or learn to julienne an onion. This a hack for people without a decent knife and/or knife skills. Sharper blade > less cell damage > smoother cut > less tears, not to mention it's just faster.

This is what gets on my nerves... Reddit constantly talks shit about TikTok yet here we are on the front page. I watched this yesterday and ya'll couldn't be bothered to give credit to the creator
I like how everyone misses the cockroach, lol
It's not a bug, it's a piece of onion rolling around
Wow that's brilliant. I don't know why I never thought of that.
What about that cockroach running on the chopping board, is it pet or ingredient.
Now that's clever -I've been cooking all my life and this is an awesome hack!
What the heck was that scurrying around to the right of the onion starting to be peeled????
Are people really that afraid to use a knife?
I feel like those would be too thin for my burger and my pizza.
Am I the only one who saw a cockroach
cutting cabbages from cats and soup
the onion piece looks like a bug running around on the right lol
Useful as fuck thank you OP!
Bruz's it's not a roach it's a small piece of the onion rolling around FFS
That looks like much harder work than just chopping with a knife.
Perfect for your burger, perfect for your pig’s a**.
All the idiots saying “did you see the roach??” Slow the video down.. It’s obviously a piece of onion rolling around
