The Best Way To Mince Onions, No Knife Skills Required

It's a grate trick.

You know how it is -- you're rocking and rolling in the kitchen until the recipe calls for minced onions.

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.
