hey do u cook a lot? dont you just hate it when it comes down to making onions! i hate peeling them i hate the smell and i hate it when i cry. do you hate it too? do you have wasy to stop or avoid crying?

well one technique i use is after peeling you put it in water.. but i still tend to cry after the second or third onion!!

another technique which my sister told me today, she said eat chewing gum. so i did but nothing happened . then my sistr said your eating the wrong chewing gum lol i was eating a spearmint which is not very strong something like extra would work.. so i ate a extra mint and she said breathe in through your mouth and out from you nose. which i find hard to hahalol well in my opinion i think it does stop the tears rolling down but still stings your eyes a little hehe.

I love onions, but having to peel them I dread! Someone said that if you run a tap whilst you doing them, similiar to what you mentioned about peeling them in water it is supposed to stop you crying, but it doesn't work for me, I still end up crying. So it's an occupational hazard, I love onions so much, especially on my salad and in my omelette so I have to put up with the crying!

lol yeah put them in a bowl of water and do the bhewing gum trick you wont be having tears down your eyes but it will sting a little bit.

yeah i love it on my salad too!!

i peeled 7 onions today my sister made me!! hate doing that!!

Hello,Sham! I never eat onion.so I have not experienced crying personally.but people shed rears while cutting onions.Some people chew chewing gums to avoid shading tears from the eyes.But I have not tried this.you may try it.thanx.
