Neither do I. We also get our onions from people we know who don't
defecate in their gardens/farms or grow our own, where we also don't use
the garden to eliminate.

That's ridiculous. Take the top layer off and absolutely no peel will

Do whatever you want, but I don't need to know the details.

I do wash the onions I grow myself because they tend to have dirt sticking
to them. I don't let them dry out first. I just pull them and use them.
When I use the greens only I tend to cut them off with scissors. I do rinse
them because I know I have animals in the yard. I have seen them in the
crops.

My favorite method of cutting onions is to cut off the root ends, peel, then
I make parallel vertical slices not quite all the way through, rotate the
onion a quarter turn, make similar vertical slices not all the way through,
and lastly, turning the onion onto its side and slicing off in pre-diced
sized pieces. I'm not sure if it's actually faster to "dice" an onion this
way versus the regular way, but it makes me feel like it's faster. It's
certainly neater, anyway. It's never occurred to me to cut through the
roots, thus leaving a problematic trail of root bits on the wet sliced onion
surface.

I had a knock-off Slap Chop many years ago (probably Pampered Chef), and in
the time it took me to dig it out of the cupboard I could have had the onion
chopped already. Not to mention, one more thing to wash. Now I just do it
the old fashioned way! Easier, faster, better.

The Slap Chop is really easy to wash. I have had similar in the past and
they were NOT easy to wash. I used to use them mainly for nuts when I
wanted them cut fine. I didn't have a food processor or Magic Bullet in
those days.

I asked for the Slap Chop as a gift. I needed to come up with something my
daughter could afford. I really didn't need any more silk floral pieces or
things to put on the Knick Knack shelf.

My husband sits at the kitchen table to do the prep. He washes and
trims at the sink and then takes the stuff to table. I don't like
that because the height is wrong for me. Small amounts I do standing
at the counter. For large amounts, like 20 pounds of tomatoes, I put
a cutting board across the side of the sink with the garbage disposal,
pull up the kitchen stool and open the cabinet door under the sink and
put my feet in the cabinet. By opening the cabinet door I can get
close enough to work.

Most of the time I am not too picky about whether or not the veggies
are chopped in perfect little pieces, especially when they are going
into a cooking pot. I am more careful when doing a company salad.

I use an Alligator onion chopper. It works well and goes in the dish
washer.
