No matter how good your kitchen skills are, sometimes some parts of putting together a meal can be a pain, such as chopping onions.
Alongside red and stinging eyes, it can be tricky to get the perfect cut for the recipes that you need them for, and cutting them into perfectly small pieces can be really time-consuming
However, one man on TikTok says we've all been doing it wrong and demonstrated what he called the Michelin method that trained chefs use in the kitchen, which also makes the dish taste better.

Tommo Carroll, who is aiming to learn 100 new skills within a year, shared the tip on his TikTok channel where he documents his progress.
One of the skills Carroll is attempting to master is cooking and after coming across a video demonstrating the onion-cutting method that Michelin chefs use, he created his own clip to inform his followers.
Carroll begins the video by claiming people are "cutting onions wrong" and then starts to show exactly how the pros do it. Then grabbing a red onion, Tommo said: "First, you quarter it, then you split it into individual layers. Then remove the end, and smoosh the layers down flat."
He then sliced it "super thin" lengthways then sideways, resulting in tiny cubes that are ready for cooking. Tommo continued: "They're cut this way so they literally melt evenly into whatever you're cooking."
While he admitted this process does tend to take longer than other methods, by doing it, you can be "one step closer to becoming a chef."
In the comments, people were divided about using this method, with some saying that it simply wasn't worth the length of time it took.
One person said: "Too much work [I don't care] about it, they taste good big." Another wrote: "So satisfying", while a third raved: "I love onions."
