If you’re using raw shallots in a salad or dressing, give them a nice long rinse under tap water once they’re chopped. It will knock out some of that overpowering onion intensity leaving more pure shallot flavor.

the whole point for onions and shallots is to enjoy the flavor they bring
If that woman is a professional chef, fire her immediately.
Omg this girl just drink water
Literally some restaurants do this all the time for salads, not all restaurants and not all salads, but some. She isn’t wrong here, it’s just not as common for home cooks.
So is there a better more efficient way to do this because sixty seconds of running water is a lot of wasted water… That is gallons for some of us at that point
I wanna put the shallot but i dont want the taste…wtf is she/he talking about? Why do u even put it in the salad anyway? The salad look better with it?
Did she just assume the shallots gender?
"How to make food taste more bland" would be a better title for this video.
Excuse me while I bite into my raw onion as if it were an apple.
Nope, still don't want it in my salad
imagine epicurious removing comments poiting to different epicurios vids , good job.
Less talking, more cooking. Ayy
Strangest thing I’ve ever seen on this channel. Why?
Even leftist chefs make no sense what is the world turning into ????????????
I love your shirt ???? sooo unique
What happened to her hair?
But that’s the whole point of using a shallot or onion
As a chef. You hurt me
Lol no if I'm putting shallot or onion is because I want to taste it. Get a grip.
Bunch of idiots here in the comments. Yeah, she certainly just rinsed off the shallot flavor, so it must be ruined. Cook more
JUST WTF! that's why don't trust white people when it comes to this type of things
Why are comments so negative? Rinsing onions and shallots in the water is a common way to take onion’s spiciness away when eating it raw. You could also reduce the spiciness by putting some vinegar in too
