Sujetador de cebolla para cortar

Handy little thing, does what it should.

I used to hover my fingers miles from the onion because I was scared of the knife. The holder does the holding, and I can concentrate on slicing evenly. After a week I was doing a whole bag of onions for a big batch of chilli without worrying. Nothing fancy, just a good idea, well made.

Even slices, no wobble, no stress.

Can see why people like it but I'm a quick chopper and stopping to ease it back every few slices drove me mad. Gave the pair to my sister, who loves them.

I was taught the claw grip but never trusted my fingers. This takes that worry away.

Good on onions, less good on tiny shallots.

Needed two or three onions to figure out the angle. You have to let the side of the knife ride along the prongs instead of trying to cut straight past them. Once that clicked the slices were thin and even and I stopped holding my breath at the end of every onion. Knocking off a star only because it took a minute to learn.

My chef's knife is wide at the heel and it kept catching on the prongs instead of sliding past them. Maybe fine with a smaller knife but I've gone back to using a fork to hold things.

Orange pair, one in the kitchen drawer and one in the camper van box. Both get used.

Brilliant. Use it every single day for onions.
