“I still have all my fingers thanks to this little tool!”
Onions add an extra aromatic touch to everything from a run-of-the-mill breakfast omelet to a special steak dinner. Slicing them requires a sharp chef’s knife and a cutting board — and lots of precision to avoid dicing a fingertip into the mix.
In an effort to avoid an ER visit, smart Amazon shoppers found a $5 trick that means they “no longer need to worry about cutting or slicing” their fingers — the Qpey onion holder keeps onions perfectly in place as you cut them. “I still have all my fingers thanks to this little tool!” exclaimed another fan. “And, of lesser importance, my onions and tomatoes are sliced more uniformly.”
Qpey Stainless Steel Onion Holder
Extending from its non-slip, extra-wide handle are 10 2.7-inch stainless steel pointed prongs that spear the outer layer of the onion to keep it in place on your chopping board. The evenly spaced prongs act as a guide for your knife to get “perfect cuts every time,” said one reviewer. It’s not just for slices, either, as another shopper explains: “Use a chef’s knife to cut the slices, then rotate to cut the slices into diced onion as desired.”
Several shoppers have used it to help slice other fruits and vegetables such as tomatoes, squash, and pickles. It is also great for cutting even slices of cheese for a charcuterie board or for tenderizing meat or piercing it for marinating, wrote another shopper. Once you’re done using it, toss the tool into the dishwasher for easy cleanup, then store it in your utensil drawer with the plastic safety cover on.
With over 4,100 five-star ratings, this tool is loved by shoppers for its ease of use and performance. “No more finger cuts and frustration,” wrote one happy reviewer. “It’s easy to use and much faster than just using a knife,” said a second shopper. “I just bought some very sharp knives. I nearly always nick one of my fingers whenever I cut onions,” said a third shopper. After purchasing the Qpey tool, “I haven’t cut my fingers since,” they added.
“It saves me a lot of work,” said a final shopper, who added, “Why would I not want to use something that makes life easier?” Grab the Qpey onion holder while it’s on sale at Amazon for $5 and save yourself time, too.
