The Best Way To Mince Onions, No Knife Required

You know how it is -- you're rocking and rolling in the kitchen until the recipe calls for minced onions. Not only does it turn on the waterworks, but it can get messy the more you mince, with little onion pieces flying around the counter. Not to mention, if you're not a wizard with a knife, it can take forever to get the onions small enough.

Here's a trick that will save you a lot of time. Put the knife down and grab a standard cheese grater instead.

Watch the video above to find out how to do it (and this hack works great with anything you need to mince: ginger, shallots, garlic). 

As for those teary eyes -- we have a solution for that, too.
