Best Trick to Avoid Crying When Chopping Onions

Chopping onions is one of the least rewarding thing to do in the kitchen.Tears in your eyes are almost unavoidable and the sting can sometimes be piercing. That is caused by the onion’s gas released during the chopping that meets the eye and turns into a mild form of sulfuric acid.

 Most People try chopping next to a tap of running water to avoid tearing but isn't really effective,and you waste water. Several try breathing through the mouth and not the nose but this effort also remains futile. Some guys avoid it by wearing a pair of swimming goggles. It works, but laughter is guaranteed.If you don’t want to keep a pair of goggles in the drawer next to the knives, there’s another way to avoid crying and it is very much effective as compared to those mentioned earlier.

So the best trick to avoid crying when chopping the onions is to Chill the onion for 30 minutes before preparation. That unfortunately needs some planing ahead if you don't keep your onions in the fridge.But if you make an effort and try keeping always a couple of onions in the vegetable drawer, you can say farewell to onion tears.
