Brilio.net - Cooking can actually provide positive health benefits, such as helping to reduce stress and improve mood. By choosing the right ingredients, the cooking process can be a means to naturally care for the body.
Unfortunately, many people are reluctant to cook because they feel that preparing ingredients is too complicated, especially when it comes to slicing spices such as shallots and garlic. This activity can take a long time, especially for those who are not used to using knives.
However, now there are practical tools that can make this job easier, including onion slicers sold on the market. For those who don't want to buy, there is also a way to make your own simple tool at home.
A netizen named Amnaifa shared her trick to make an onion slicer using simple ingredients. Interestingly, this tool can not only be used for onions, but also various other vegetables such as carrots and potatoes.
How to make it, first prepare two used plastic bottle caps. Then, split the edge of the bottle cap right in the middle along 2 to 3 cm to adjust the length of the cutter knife. Later, the part of the bottle cap that has been split will be used to embed the cutter knife.
"Stab the other one again and do the same, we cut it neatly in the middle so that the cutter knife is balanced on the left and right," explained YouTube Amnaifa Channel, quoted by BrilioFood on Thursday (19/9).

After that, take the cutter knife that was previously used to split the bottle cap. Insert it into the bottle cap, so that the bottle cap is on the left and right of the cutter knife. Attach this slicer to a wooden board or cutting board using small nails. You can use 4 nails so that the slicer can stick firmly.
"We'll nail it again on the side so it's strong, sturdy, and doesn't shake," said Amnaifa.
If you feel that the slicer is really attached firmly, it means that it can be used directly to slice cooking ingredients. Amnaifa also explained that this tool can slice thinly. Wow, even though it is simple, this tool is very useful, huh?
