When they said finely chopped i didn't think he was gonna reduce it to atoms
😂😂😂😂😂
What other way is there to add your onion to your "REE-ZO-TOE"
hahaha
marco's atomic onion
Where are the onions?
Thanos: Gone. Reduced to atoms.
Is this a man...cutting an onion....on the radio?
na
lol
***** lol
It's an onion...cutting a radio...on a man.
Greensmurf Imperial comment😄😄😄😂😂😂 very much enjoyed that😄😄😄
"Perfection is lots of little things done well." It's not just a quote, it's a life lesson.
Ikr
It's just a quote.
A quote is a compact life lesson..
It's a good quote. Except that 'perfect' does not actually mean that.
Very true 👍
When Marco purposefully tries to chop onions poorly, like a home cook, he still chops onions better than 99.9% of people. His knife skills are insane. Top five all time, for famous chefs, without a doubt
His poorly chopped onions are still finer than anything I've ever chopped
@@MasoNowa get a real sharp knife
I don't think he's trying to do it poorly - just showing that it can be done well even without the technique that takes years of practice (it just means that it takes slightly longer to do).
it's not poorly, it's just how most people who aren't from culinary school chops.
@@daniellittlewood8471 exactly, not being a professional doesn't mean you're already doing a task poorly. i know many people who don't even go to a great cooking school but still can chop ingredients in many different ways.
The only man who can make onions cry.
Chuck Norris is the only person to make a dorset naga cry....
nicemutant chuck Norris is the only man who can make a Carolina reaper cry
AnotherBlood0 thats how an onion get smashed
AnotherBlood0
No. Actually Chuck Norris has been doing this for years.
MPW: The onions decided to cry on its own
A whole day of Ramsay screaming at me would be far easier to take than one minute of Marco staring at me silently.
Facts.
There’s something about letting you come up with the insults yourself.
Many have said the same.
Even worse is when Gordon stares at you silently. That's when you really know you messed up
I have a feeling Ramsay learned to fuck with people's heads from Marco.
I tried this last night when making an onion jam for my burger. Really took my time with it (I'm still learning knife control, so the chopping took a good 10 minutes). It is unquestionably better. Onions caramelized in maybe 1/4 the usual time, and the jam ended up just PACKED with flavor. Using this technique for the remainder of my life.
Now i can tell you're a much better cook than i am, but why would u make a jam with onions, and why put it on a burger, and is it common
?
@@zeyyadfarooq6235 onion jam is pretty much caramelized onions with a bit of balsamic, so pretty common especially on steak. It goes super good on a burger.
@@timothyanderson2166 oh ok thnx
It's all about having the right knife as well. Needs to be somewhat heavy and very sharp. Not jagged sharp, but actually sharp. Takes some time to learn how to properly sharpen a knife, but it pays off quikly, as a sharp knife guarantees less injuries.
What I love about Marco is that although he presented this vastly improved chopping technique, he also recommended simply grating the onion as a time-saving option. This is a chef dedicated to the food, who doesn't show off.
Shut up, he doee show off by definition of the cuisine he presents in his restaurants
Have to invent something to comment right
He also recommends microwaving bacon.
He also recommends slathering beef bouillon on steak instead of fiddling around with several different seasonings. Guys done it all, has nothing left to prove, and is now able to give the rest of us the green light to be a bit lazy
Yes, he understands that there’s little value in him just showing off, and really he’s not showing off at all, he’s making a point and then he brings that point down to something you can use yourself. A mentor and not just a genius.
Sometimes I think he has simply given up on teaching to the high standards he has for himself, and now he is teaching / speaking to the general audience, just notice how many times he says you can do it the way you like. He seems to have realized that even a lot of his personnel in his top restaurants couldn't achieve what he achieved, and removed all expectactions he has from anyone listening to his advice.
Host - "...where did the onion go?"
Marco - "Gone, reduced to atoms"
And it did that to itself.

@@angelgutierrez5950 no...
@@satan1189 yes...
@@angelgutierrez5950 you cant learn how to cut onions only by listening to the sound you fucking dunce
Paulie did the prep work. He was doing a year for contempt and he had this great system for cutting the onions like MPW. It used to liquify in the pan with a little oil. It was a very good system.
I just squeeze the onion and add the juice.
Johnny Dio did the meat. We had no broiler, so Johnny did everything in pans. It used to smell up the joint something awful and the hacks used to die, but he still cooked a great steak
Ah, an aristocrat
He speaks with both calmness and passion. A heavenly balance.
'I didn't make the onion cry. The onion made itself cry, It was its own choice to cry.' - MPW
Brilliant.
This comment deserves a Michelin star.
😂😂😂
😂.. Zlatan of the michelin star...
internet champ 😂😂😂 you should have a millions of likes for that comment bro
Perfect.
When a man with that kind of level is giving you advices, you don't interrupt him, you just listen untill he finishes..
It's a radio, the listeners can't see what he does.
@@andik.9271 yeah all the people commenting about that are dumb
He's on radio, it's a pretty stupid concept in itself
A blind person also can't see whats happening around them, but they listens when someone is talking to them.. Its all about manners..
@@qayyumchariff4357 the way mpw is speaking, the audience won't understand a thing. Teaching to cut an onion on radio is a very stupid idea, but the host needs to do all he can to make the listeners know what mpw is actually doing
He had this wonderful system for doing the Onion. He used a razor, and he used to slice it so thin that he used to liquefy in the pan with just a little oil. It was a very good system.
Good movie that
I absolutely LOVE about him that he comes back to where 99% of all food is prepared and eaten: At home, made by a member of the household to be eaten by the most important people in the world: your family.
If you want a REALLY finely chopped onion, you need a knorr stock cube.
For my taste, that onion needs ANOTHER stock cube.
Or don't. It's your choice really.
And some lube
@@aqimjulayhi8798 I feel like Marco using that "your choice really" every time he uses the stock pot is proof of how much he dislikes doing those videos.
@@johnspence8141 Do what you like...there is no real recipe...
Man I'd not interrupt Marco that often when there is sharp knife on the table.
Seriously the host talks too much like in a japanese tv show.
to be fair its a radio show and marco wasnt really describing anything audibly
@@armchairrockstar186 Pretty sure that's any tv show...
It was radio, someone needs to explain it
It's radio, you can't just have pauses every time. The presenter needs to keep the conversation going all the time.
Beautiful work
This legend would make amazing asmr. His voice is so relaxing.
“I didn’t make Gordon Ramsay cry. He made himself cry. That was his choice to cry.”
Where did he say this quote? I see it all the time.
@@Allison_Chaynes if you look up "I didn't make Gordon cry" it's the 26 second clip of MPW
@@619Gotenks Thanks, man
Gordon was chopping onions
Sigma
I don't think I own a knife sharp enough to do that
The catering college technique does requires a sharp knife, in order to cut the onion while still holding it together without it falling apart.
But his custom technique will work with any decent blade
Blitzpunk de I do, still wouldn't cut like that
ASMR Angel
Then you do it wrong. Buy a whetstone. Those are idiot proof. I should know it cause I use one myself
+Blitzpunk de your a real troot
+ASMR Angel I dont know what knives you use, but just sharing my experiences at home. Recently in my place, we have a proper chef knife, and a sharpener. So much difference compared to a fruit knife. You might think because the kitchen knife is thicker its worse for cutting, but its not. Because of its thickness, the blade doesnt flex. I find its actually so much better to cut with a kitchen knife than a so called vegetable knife. Just that it always needs sharpening every 2/3 days for home usage. Or you can get ceramic knives which require less frequent sharpening.
His teaching, definitely a treasure. He keeps it so basic and nothing flashy
Perfection is lots of little things done well.

@@Artaxerxes. lots of little things done well, hence everything
Remember, there is no recipe. No need to season, the chicken stock pot will do that for you. You may ask, why I'm commenting on a video of mine on youtube, well it gives the video that golden value, and secondly it assists with the viewer count of the video. Kinda like doing two jobs in one. You can click like if you wish, but, I'll be very honest, I kinda like commenting. As a boy, I always loved watching myself. If I'm going to watch a video, my favourite has always been one of mine. It's your choice what you like. I don't always comment on videos, but sometimes I do. I'm asked many times what to do with what one should watch on youtube, I always say, make it very simple, make it very quick. Once we start, it's approx 20 minutes, 30 minutes. Never forget, the recipe is only a guideline. If you like your videos a little longer, have more. If you don't like it so long, don't watch it all. It's your choice.
@@_Odin_ I've read your comment with the sound of Marco on my mind and it was incredible. Oh so brilliant, thanks.
@@armchairrockstar186 Woooo forgot about this comment! Nice to see it has 6 likes xD Have a great day!, but if you don't, remember, it's your choice. It's your day.
This is definitely one of those videos to give you the idea why MPW is on the highest level of cooking standards.
This has never been done in a kitchen ever.
@Alex Chungus I hope ur joking
@Alex Chungus that's not how u make rice my man
@Alex Chungus you said it wrong. That's not really a right way to make rice
my mom cooks better than him, only she didnt have privillege to learn in culinary school or even became celebrity chef
I love when radio stations do visual bits.
This man is my FAVORITE chef in the whole world!
gordon : finely chopped onions
marco : *onion juice*
Onion juice 😂😂😂
Hahahahahhahahaa
Even when he's perfectly calm. Marco always seems like he's just on the verge of loosing his shit.
😂😂😂😂 I get you 100%
Marco quieted that guy talking by just whacking his knife on the table a few times lol
He probably wasn’t far away from losing with that clown constantly interrupting him!
Since when does he “lose his shit”…. He’s not Ramsey. He doesn’t “lose his shit” from anything I’ve seen
He's the kind of guy who's silently stare at your soul and finely chopped it. He's much more intimidating than Gordon Ramsay
Great segment.
The master of the knife! Pure perfection. And I like his calm way to explain what he is doing.
0:54 he taps the knife to silence the commentary of the host, 'sorry', classic Marco
Sheehs i just realized it when u mentioned it
I thought that was to get exsess onion of the knife
He was just cleaning the knife off
@@slothymango maybe so but the way he does it seems like he's asserting the attention back to him and not the commentator talking over him trying to explain what he's doing.
@@LeVeRaGe95 maybe both lol
Buddy has a hard time letting him finish his sentences lol
He kind of has to interrupt because marco isn't explaining what he's doing. Imagine listening to this on the radio and all you're getting is the sound of an onion being chopped.
Also, being an RJ, he had to move on with the show to songs... It's not to be edited later.
And I just learned something new today. Thank you Marco!
It’s almost ten years later that I’m seeing this, for the first time, but wow!!! THAT is finely chopped. The man is amazing. No wonder other chefs revere him. They dislike him too but I am certain that’s because they are so jealous of his undoubted talent.
Only Gordon Ramsay’s camera could see those onions
sad kermit HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH IF YOU KNOW😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
😤😂😂😂😂
Lmao
Good one 😂
0:55
Host:
_”YOU QUARTER THE ONION”_
Marco:
*gives him devil eyes*
Host:
_”Sorry”_
He thwapped that knife on the table like a judge's gavel.
XDDDD
😆😆😆😆
You don’t see Marco’s face, but the way the dude’s voice shrinks when he says “sorry” tells the whole story.
you kwatter the onion
Love this video
Amazing. Love a master of their craft.
2:27: Marco: "You can't use a knife like I can."
Host: "That's quite a confession!"
MPW: *gets stabbed*
"Paulie would cut it so thin that it would liquify in a pan with just a little oil... it was a really good system"
Vinnie was in charge of the tomato sause but marco put too many onions in it.
Bahahahahahaha awesome reference
That was garlic though but still funny
@@demapples6580 bruh we know 🙄
Dats da flayva!
so generous with the knowledge!
Oh my after watching this video now I'm crying.
I prefer his "fingers, crystal and banana" method.
I see you're man of culture as well
I prefer his pan method
Aahh....never gets old 😂😂😂 he who knows..knows
Not a whacking with a pan method fan is it?
Yeah but *it's never fine enough* !
For everyone complaining why the host is talking too much, it's initially a radio show, judging by the setup. So he has to explain every single thing to the listeners so they can visualise what's going on in the studio. He also has to talk fast and have great control over the entire session due to the limited time they have. I used to work in radio. How the entire show looks on video and how you hear it on radio is entirely different, and I understand how easily it can be misinterpreted as the host constanly interrupting or talking over the main subject.
Yeah I don’t think people realize that Marco is the guest here
Doesn’t help when he keeps talking over and interrupting MPW when he’s trying to explain things, just let the expert guest share their expertise instead of cutting in and trying to second guess them.
@@onelove101unity You missed the point entirely
@@Nimtrix there was no point. Ya dumb mfs slow. He was clearly talking over and interrupting him. Marco even had to bang the knife for him to shut up. Damn do better 😂
@@Fillster nah. Ya can’t be this slow
This is so satisfying to look at
That’s some great _radio_ there!
still tearing from watching this. 🥲
He would slice the onions so thin that they would dissolve in the tomato sauce
Patrick Bronske +1 For the goodfellas reference
Patrick Bronske that reference is completely wrong. Go back and watch the movie.
Celebman 999 sorry I don’t have movie dialogue memorized. My bad bro lol
@@LouieOcean2 yeah it was liquify in the oil
It would liquefy in the pan with just a little oil
That's a good teacher. He'd rather finish his lesson than plug his new restaurant.
A chef came up to me and criticized me for how I was chopping my onion.
I didn't know how to respond in the moment.
Seeing Marco chop an onion the same way as I do, that makes me feel a lot better.
They don't recognize greatness in you then
I like how he does a finer cross dice than anyone else ever does in seconds and then goes “but it’s not really fine”
The interviewer should spend more time shutting up.
...on the radio?
in general
He needs to explain to the listener
It’s an Irish thing 😂😂
He's doing a visual bit on the radio, he needs to explain it you moron
I find it hilarious that his apprentice gordon later made a video on how to finely chop an onion and does it the way marco disaproves of.
That's because the way Gordon does it enables him to chop an onion finely in about 10-15 seconds, whereas Marcos method takes probably a minute per onion.
derbigpr500 cooking is about patience. suppose if you want it done properly and you have time Marcos is a nicer way to cook with.
Think Gordon also realized his audience was the home cook, not industry professionals.
Actually this method is best suited to a home environment and not a professional kitchen beyond use for - as Marco says - risotto and other similar foods. If you chop as MPW does you cannot store it for long as it will turn incredibly acidic quickly due to all the juice and flavour having been released from the onion already. Since the vast majority of professional kitchens rely on prep and efficiency, the standard catering college cut serves best.
There are different ways of doing the same thing when it comes to cooking, and each have their own pros and cons. Marco has a finer dice, but he takes longer to do it. For a larger dice, Gordon's way would be more practical I think. So I guess neither way is better, they just have their own places in the kitchen.
Mesmerising
Perfection is lots of little things done well
Chef: what do you think? is this a fine chopped onion?"
Radio man: "Yes"
Chef: "no it's not"
Radio man: "oh yeah, it's not"
Jacob Cass That radio host was a dipshit lol
I mean to be fair, it was more finely chopped than anything I've seen. But then Marco used his next technique and turned an onion into sand.
@@dirtyvocals He is famous here in Ireland, as far as radio DJs go, for being an absolute gobshite. I couldn't even finish the video.
@@TheFimpish I've certainly done finer than the first one. Second one was crazy though
If you're making a risoooooottttttoooooooooo
lmao underrated
He’s so class. He speaks so eloquently and calmly too when it comes to his food. When he keeps comparing “domestic” to how he does it, you can tell he has spent 1000 of hours doing this over his career. Just countless hours of chopping and dicing different foods, dont ever want to see him or Gordon get replaced
My goodness, Marco is talented. He makes fine chopping an onion look so effortless. Just look how fine that really is. Ever tried doing it the Marco way? It takes some considerable practice and a very sharp knife. And that's why Marco is the best. He has learned all the 'little things' that together make for 'the best outcome.' That's called skill, knowledge, and wisdom, of a talented man who has evolved and mastered his craft to absolute perfection. Bravo Marco.
Well,your knife sharpness showing your cooking lvl,not becouse you have a sharp knife but becouse cutting with a super sharp knife needd alooot of experience,a small mistake your finger or finger nail is gone
@@aristoteltika7070 True but often people end up cutting themselves because their knife is dull. It requires them to put more force behind the cutting motion, which leads to accidents.
"That's a finely chopped onion. That right there is about a quarter of the size of the other one. That right there, sitting in front of you, Mr. Marco Pierre White, is an onion of the red variety, which has been chopped such that the individual pieces are indeed lesser in size in comparison to the onion sitting adjacent to it."
"I cant make it any finer otherwise I risk splitting an atom and killing us all"
- MPW in my imagination
If Marco had to destroy us all to get the onion the way he wanted, are you confident he wouldn't do it?
Wow! Impressed.
Beautiful
He forgot to use the Fingers and the banana in a paper bag.
Haha YES
Tuck he fingers in
What? No! To finely chop it, you need to whack it with a pan.
the crystal too
All the knorr and Gordon crying jokes aside, this is an amazing technique for atomize the onion. It's melting when hits the pan and when you eat it it's like butter with glorious onion flavor.
One of my friend thought me to grind the onions before roast on the pan blv me thats the best taste I had
Great idea for a radio show
I could watch Marco chop an onion over the radio for days
That has to be the most irritating radio host ever

When I clicked on the video i was like “i know how to finely chop an onion, i just wanna hear Marco talking” but it actually got interesting showing a new way to do it and being pretty fun about it. Hah i love him
exactly my experience :D
“That’s the only way you can have a finely chopped onion”
Me: *sLaP cHop!*
Amazing content for a radio show, I remember listening to a chef chop an onion nearly as much as the segment where they had a painter and decorator touching up skirting boards.
The week after they did a runway fashion show for the listeners
Honestly that's great skills. Lot to learn.
I chop onions finely for sauce often, and I come back to watch this video every once in awhile to humble myself. I'm so amazed I say "holy fuck" out loud literally every time I watch the video. I can't replicate what he does here while hes chopping quickly even while I'm taking my time and actually trying. I can get my onions fine enough to almost dissolve into the sauce, the same with my garlic so it doesn't leave chunks and so it imbues the flavor properly into the sauce; There's no way I could get them as fine as he does here. It's incredible.
If you can chop slowly, you can chop quickly
The MPW way is perfection “lots of little things done well” more like superbly
He's a fucking artist. A grandmaster of the kitchen.
if you want it that fine you use a cheese grater
No he's not. Mother nature is the artist. We are just the technicians. MPW said that btw ;)
A better metaphor would be to say Nature is the paint, when it comes to food.
Oh man, such a high opinion of a man for cutting an onion. I wonder how you'd react if you actually saw a real artist do something that's actually difficult or requires talent.
derbigpr500 Don't be a condescending prick. I'm a musician myself- and when I was in the conservatory, I saw master musicians. Ramsey is just like one- but his mastery is food.
when he said at the end "so therefore", i lost my shit, haha- what an absolute legend, that mpw...
He knows his stuff - and then some! 👏
:Perfection is lots of little things done well." - M.P.W
Few people inspire me. Marco is one of them. When I listen to him I find it easier to dream again.
With just the fewest of words he reminds you of the aspirations you once had for yourself, that you would like others to see in you, and that you secretly hope you can still achieve. He hasn't settled for himself or for you.
