Of course Kenji López-Alt had a friend come up with a computer model that determined the ideal way to chop an onion. How can you resist reading an article with the phrase “exactly .557 onion radiuses” in it?

You can play around with the onion cutting model at Geogebra.
The diagrams are fine, but I can’t believe this article didn’t come with a video!
Actually it does, sort of. In the first paragraph there's a link to a video purportedly of the culinary school method, but it looks to me much closer to Kenji's "ideal" technique.
