Those gadgets are really the pits, if you ask me.  You don't get a fine,
even cut.  You get a rough uneven mash.  The blades are never fine and
sharp enough to produce a good cut, and it's just a big pain in the butt.

I say, learn to cut onions with a good sharp blades, with your eyes closed
if you must...  Which is sometimes what I end up doing if I have lots of
strong onions...  Yes, I have done 50pounds of onion "emince" with my eyes
closed.  Without cuts (Drakey, don't try this at home without supervision...)

Perhaps we should have a class on how to use a knife to properly cut an
onion, chop garlic, and mince fine herbs...  Hmmmmm.  Food for thoughts
