Onion Cutting Machine
Onion Cutting Machines have evolved into specialized units to handle
different culinary requirements: slicing for rings/salads, dicing for gravies,
and chopping for masalas.1
Because onions have high sulfur and water content, modern machines are
built with SS 304 to prevent corrosion and use high-speed blades to ensure
"clean cuts" without crushing the onion (which causes tears and
bitterness).

Pro-Tip for Onion Processing:
If you are slicing onions for Fried Onions (Birista), ensure the machine
has a High-RPM rotary blade. A slow blade will "bruise" the onion,
releasing too much water, which makes the onions soggy instead of crispy when
fried.
