How do you not cry while peeling oinions?
1. Chill the Onion in the Fridge or Freezer
- Cooling the onion will slow down the release of the compounds that cause tears
2. Cut the Onion Under Running Water
- The water will wash away the compounds before they can reach your eyes.
3. Use a Sharp Knife
- A sharp knife will create a cleaner cut and cause less damage to the onion's cells, which will release fewer compounds that cause tears.
4. Wear Goggles or Safety Glasses
- This will create a barrier between your eyes and the onion fumes.
5. Hold a Piece of Bread in Your Mouth While Cutting the Onion
- The bread will absorb some of the compounds that cause tears.
