You might think you know how to chop an onion, but there are other, stranger ways you’ve probably never even imagined. Most of these methods don’t even require a knife.

Watch this short video about various, insane ways to cut an onion, including karate-chopping it with your hand.

The video starts out with a classic method of cutting an onion, and then surprises you with six other ways you’ve probably never heard of. (Or at least I hope you’ve never heard of.) No, you should not try any of these at home. I think my favorite one is just throwing the onion against the wall.

This video is just one of nine from the YouTube channel You Suck at Cooking. Don’t miss out on other technique videos, such as the art of making a breakfast sandwich, grilled cheese, or simple corn and bean salad.
