Crying with an onion.

I am preparing the lentils for lunch. The lentils are the easy part. I wash them, place them in the pressure cooker with water and a bit of milk and cook them for 10 minutes. But I diced an onion, will add garlic and caramelise it. Then I´ll fry a bit of bacon and add it too. The dicing of the onion is the tough part. I´m crying like a baby and I´m not even sad

The pressure cooker is shouting. Turn me off, it says. So here I go again.

See you.

I´m sure of it too. I killed the culprit caramelising it.

There is only one trick that works not to cry when you cut an onion, place the onion in the refrigerator at least 2 hours before cutting it.

Running under cold water a few times as you dice does help prevent crying. The onion not you before someone gets smart like daddyevil

I too don't like dicing onions as they too bring tears to my eyes.

We don't like onions very much; so we don't use them too much in cooking; and neither of us likes raw onions.

I try to wear my glasses when I'm cutting up an onion and it helps somewhat. Enjoy your lentils. They sound delicious

Hopefully you'll be done by now and the result will be worth it!

I also cry when slicing red onions, people say I wear glasses to avoid it, but it's troublesome
