Free food & cooking tip: Slice, dice, mince — one onion, three ways (step 2 of 12 from "Complete Weeknight Kitchen Masterclass").

Slice: root to tip, even thickness. Dice: horizontal cuts, then vertical, then across — 5 mm cubes for soup. Mince: keep tip on board, rock through garlic until paste-fine.

Same onion, three jobs. Mis-en-place: everything cut before heat goes on. That alone fixes half of 'why did this burn.'

Pro tip: Dull knives slip. Honing steel weekly; sharpen when tomato squishes instead of slices.
