Thanks! Solid advice all around.

My daughter is pursuing this path at the moment. Any advice? She’s been taking classes and training for a couple years and has been heavily involved in dance her entire life on top of that.

I had kept my mail account around just as an alternate for cutting down on spam to my main, but this was a good excuse to dump it. No need to enable the fash anymore.

I went to culinary school, they do teach the horizontal cut method, and it is indeed inferior. Plus it lowers your yield, is more dangerous, and produces an inferior end result. All one needs to do is look at how the layers of an onion are constructed to see that it’s stupid.

My preferred is the angled lengthwise cuts (starting at roughly 30 degrees, straight up and down in the middle, and ending at roughly negative 30 degrees). The angle isn’t super critical. Then, so your cross cuts. No faffing about with the pieces hanging from your initial lengthwise cuts and then trying to do the horizontal, and produces a better “dice” (you rarely get perfect cubes with any method anyway).

Whatdya doin’, ya cunt?
