Tips from a new bachelor: #1 - The go-anywhere cutting board.

I have frequently found useful tips that I'd like to share. Some are serious, some are humorous. Today is the first!

Tip #1

My kitchen, as with a lot of bachelors, is cramped for counter space. Finding a place to put a cutting board is hard, when everything else is strewn about, from preparing the rest of the meal. In any case, the cutting board is probably dirty anyway. But you already have an onion in your hand, and you just need to dice a few slices off. To my joy, I found that I was able to use the rest of the onion as a cutting board. Just slice your onion in both hands, as you would cut a summer sausage when you sitting around a campfire. Then, leaving the onion slice in place where it came from, simply cross cut it while holding the onion in your hand. It works beautifully. So there it is. Simple but innovative, as most of these tips will be. I am not sure yet how many other fruits/vegetables this method can be used with.


cheers!
