There’s enough to cry about in this life, like spilt milk, but you don’t need to cry over onions. Here are a couple techniques to avoid the saline task of peeling and cutting onions.
- Freeze your onion for 25 minutes prior to cutting.
- Soak your onion in cold water, and peel while submerged, let the onion soak in the water for half an hour, dry and chop. Some people like to cut the onion under water, I do not suggest this method—you might cut yourself rather than the onion.
- Hold a piece of wheat bread in your mouth while chopping. Change the bread if it begins to get soggy.
- Wear a mask and snorkel.
