The French cook said the onion slices are  ‘perfect for your burger and perfect for your pizza’.

He said if the peeler’s blade isn’t as wide as the onion to run the gadget along each side of the vegetable.

The chef also added you can apply more pressure with the peeler to get slightly thicker slices.
