"Hello I'm Mark Pesce from France on behalf of Expert Village I'm gonna cook you a French meal call Ratatouille. So now we are gonna start by getting our vegetable so it will be the onion so I'm gonna start to use to cut this one. So first of all what do I is do I cut a little bit of a piece so it's easy to take the skin off what is easier and there we go and I'm coming, I'm coming it's alright is a little bit long to cook fresh vegetables but is still good at the same time it's worth it. To lose a little bit of time you know sometimes cutting the onion you waste time well what I'm gonna do. So now when we start cutting the onion so I like cutting both I like to do and then a quarter and then you start taking by little pieces if some people don't like too much onions you cut it very very small, but I love onions so I can't really cut it too small because I think is a shame when you waste onions really you can add if you want. I'm here cutting only one onion but if you want too you can put two onions or well not more because it depends how much vegetable you have in your mill but you can easy have two onions if you like it, I mean cool. Ok!"

on 8/2/2008 i find it much quicker to: A) Cut both ends off (like he did with one), than, B)slice the outer LAYER of onion (form end to end) and take right off. Easier than picking away at the skin. ;)
