How to peel an onion

You will need a peeler with a seratted blade, like our genuine Titan or our SwissMaid which provides perfect grip of the onion skin.

First remove any loose papery onion skin with your fingertips.

Then put your thumb on the root and cradle the onion in your hand.

Place your peeler blade close to the root and while keeping an even pressure, move the onion, not the peeler!

Go about 3/4 of the way down the onion, turning as you go until the onion is peeled. Any left at the tip just pull off and job done!

I will have a video up soon and looking forward to showing off but with a bit of practice it's really easy!

Thanks for reading and expect an update very soon.

Here's a video of me peeling an onion at the bbc Good Food show about 5 years ago. http://www.youtube.com/embed/vmkeNS7QPck

Sorry about the sound!
