Well I have tried so many methods to prevent crying but the only thing that I have found that works 100% of the time.

.... get someone else to cut the onions.:)

Try placing the onions in water a few hours before peeling them. Wearing a sun glasses might help you to prevent your eyes from crying.

Hello bombshell! Well, I think all I can say have it refrigerated. I am not really that good at the kitchen but when I tried to slice onions too, it made me cry so I asked some tips to my aunts.

I love onions but they make me cry every time I am working with them while preparing to cook them too. I usually cut them up a little bit and then walk away and then go back to do more to avoid the crying and teary eyes.


myLot reputation of 91/100. bombshell (5401)   ranked 428 out of 11,249 in cooking  12 months ago

thats what i do most of the time.so i am thinking to post discussion since mylot helps a lot for more advice from my friendshappy

I actually do not cry when cutting an onion... my eyes go shut and will not open so it is good to cry.

But the question was how not to cry and the answer is to do it (cut it) as fast as you can (use an electric cutter if you can) and this will help not to cry!

Thanks

happy Zelo happy
