The actor and Searching for Italy <\/em>host has guided us through many a culinary dilemma, from the best way to use leftover risotto<\/a> to perfecting a Negroni<\/a>.\r\n\r\nAnd, as an Italian cuisine expert, Tucci knows exactly how to handle a staple ingredient: onions<\/a>. This allium is used in many Italian recipes<\/a>, but not always properly handled.\r\n\r\nThat's where Tucci, in an interview with Esquire<\/em>, walks us through the best way to cut an onion. Sans tears.\r\n

Is there a \"right\" way to cut an onion?<\/h2>\r\nWell, as Tucci says, \"there are many different ways of cutting an onion.\" There's no particular right<\/em>\u00a0way to cut an onion, but there are better<\/em> ways of cutting an onion!\r\n

How to Cut an Onion Like Stanley Tucci<\/h2>\r\nWhile Tucci knows many will argue with his method, he stands by the onion technique taught to him by a chef friend. Here's how he does it.\r\n\r\nFirst, grab a super sharp knife, since \"that's really important,\" as Tucci says. He holds the onion (on a cutting board<\/a>) on its side and chops off the ends. Then, he lays the onion on a flat end and cuts right through the middle, leaving equal halves.\r\n
