I used to chop all my onions with a knife and cutting board. Today I have to chop a lot of them. I have to chop green onion and onion from my Garden to freeze them.
Please give me everything in your knowledge that you know about this project that I have to do today. What is the easiest way and the best way for me to do?

Well, I heard that if you soak onions in water before you chop them, it'll be less irritating for your eyes. anyways, gl!

If you have alot, I recommend a food processor on pulse (not puree!). You may have to do it in batches, but still easier than chopping/dicing by hand.
Indian food requires a ton of onions, esp Punjabi food. My Punjabi aunties would go through a 10 lb bag of big yellow onions in a week-- EASY! Using a food processor was the fastest & easiest way.
For green onions (scallions or spring onions): just line up big bunches and start chopping. These are easy & it will be fast. Scissors work well, but for a big amount --- a sharp knife.
Store & label them in good freezer baggies. I actually puree onions, then fry up the puree with some ginger, garlic & spices and freeze it in freezable tupperware. Easy ground onion puree ready to use for those last minute curries!
If you have some handy friends, invite them over to help and then spring for pizza (or any dinner)!
PS: I know alot of people may cringe as they read this, but I have severe sensitivity to onions --- it looks like I am crying over a huge crisis, it's so bad that I am unable to even see what I am chopping. So rather than lose a finger, I store my onions in the refrigerator ( I know, I know...), it really helps -- NO MORE TEARS!

humorous you ought to ask, as I in simple terms chopped eco-friendly onions for my potato pancakes this morning. I shrink off the roots, tear off the outer leaf (it incredibly is often mushy), shrink off any eco-friendly it incredibly is wilted and wash onions. Lay the onions on the board so the muse end is dealing with you, carry the onion so which you would be able to get a stable slice down the midsection (lengthwise, each and each of ways by). Slice crosswise contained in the thickness which you like. suitable chopped onions each and every time.

I still chop them by hand on a cutting board. Line them up so you cut a bunch in a single stroke. Use a really sharp knife to minimize the strokes you need to get the job done.
If I am cutting a scallion or a green onion for one salad I just use a kitchen shears to snip it to the size I need.

Buy a Pampered Chef Chopper... it's a bit pricey but well worth it... will chop ANYTHING including meats and you can determine the size by how many times you chop... it's great!

Believe it or not....the slow chop setting on a blender works very well.

If you don't have a food processor using two knives sometimes helps...
