Always prep like an assembly line. Peel all, then cut all. Always keep one motion going til it’s done. You get faster at the one and you’re not wasting time switching back and forth

I'm not in the industry anymore but I will never buy pearl onions except the frozen preped ones ever again because of this practice.

If you soak them briefly in ice water and then cut of the tops and bottoms (carefully so as to not trim too much) then put them in a bucket with a couple of cloths. Shake them up and you’re done

perks of small expensive portions. your prep is so small. the idea of having time to vacuumbag small portions of onions is impossible in normal settings

Best way I found was using a paring knife cut the top nearly all the way through and then peel down and you’ll get to trim and peel in one motion

if u cut the root end off u can just squeeze it out by pressing the other end and it should slide out of the exterior skin

What if you used a pairing knife to peel the skin and cut the ends to be more efficient

Oh man, I was trying a new recipe once that involved pearl onions, I gave up peeling them pretty soon and just left them out. 😓🤷🏻♂️

Idk if it works for pearl onions but for garlic if you put them into a bowl and put another bowl on top and shake hard for awhile all the peels come off

Good advice: take a small vegetable knife and peel the onions with it by cutting off the head and the root and then peeling off the peel with the knife

With small tasks like this, a birds beak pearling knife helps a TON
