The woman named Lynsey demonstrated her cutting technique on TikTok, insisting many people think it’s “weird”.
But in her opinion it “just makes sense” as it not only saves time but it’s easier too.
She said: “I thought I’d quickly come on and show you how I cut onions because, apparently, the way I cut onions is weird, but to me it just makes sense.
“There’s none of this slicing it and then you know holding it and ah can’t be dealing with that.”

She says to take off the outer layer of the onion leaving the root attached – then slice off the opposite end so it can lay flat.
Then, with one finger on the root to hold it in place, Lynsey makes incisions from top to bottom leaving roughly 1cm near the root to keep it all in place.
“So, you’re literally cutting segments like an orange,” she explains.
Once this is done, she says it should “look like a flower”, then flip it over and slice in the opposite direction.
