I have one of those little onion dicers too. . .Mine is so small it
won't hold more than a quarter of an onion at one time.

I need to order up another bloomin onion at Outback, and pay more
attention to how it is cut. Perhaps I could cut one simply by using a
knife. I'm one of those people who cries and cries when I deal with
onions. I've used all the tricks - making certain the onions are
really cold when I handle them, and I've also worn my swim goggles.
Alas, nothing works!

That's why I was fascinated by the gadget for making bloomin' onions.
I haven't purchased it yet. I was simply wondering if it would work
well.
