To peel onions faster and easier, avoid making cuts that go all the way through when cutting the onion's ends to create a sort of flap on the ends that you can pull.

This tip comes from recipe developer and food blogger Kate Ramos on Instagram. It eliminates the need to deal with an onion's papery outer layer and thin membrane-like film.

It is far easier than the alternative, using your hands to remove the skins and peels, which typically just results in frustration as they come off in small bits and pieces.
