Cutting Onions
Posted by Admin on March 27th, 2010 filed in Uncategorized
Why does cutting onions make us cry?
It’s the flavor and smell of onions that creates tears…but there are ways to reduce these tears when you chop onions.
- Refrigerate onions for 30 minutes before chopping them
- Use the sharpest knife you have for chopping onions
- Cut the root end of the onion off last (it has the highest levels of those tear-inducing ingredients)
- Wear glasses or sunglasses when you chop onions
- Breathe through your mouth instead of your nose
- Cut onions near a fan – the moving air will keep it away from your eyes
