After many years of cooking i honestly just deal with it, my eyes have become immune to the onion gas

[sigh]

Having a container of coffee grounds around helps too, since coffee neutralizes scents

Ive always just chewed minty gum, idk how but i barely cry during that time

For me, it was the smell of the onions that made me cry. I would either hold my breath, or put on a mask while chopping onions; and I wouldn't tear up

[tearsofthegods]

when i was a kid i always used goggles, and i felt like such a genius doing it, i'm glad to see i'm not the only one

[AngelDivinaManga]

Rinsing the knife under water from time to time really helps

[angelerieeeeeeeeee]

When I started cooking I would tear up too much while cutting onions but after an year I don't cry while cutting onions. yes but I do have one technic I used to use, put the onion in the fridge or a freezer which will freeze the juice present onion and no tearing at all

I will try it for sure. Finally found a use of my swim goggles

My technique is not to breath while Slicing. Because I think the onion release Smelly things that make you tears. I try that not only one time it's several times. I Definitely recommended to you. 🙂

My brother taught me to run warm water while cutting onions to stop your eyes from burning… but this seems more convenient than having to run back and forth to the sink and cutting board lol.

[elizzyyy]

leave a wet paper towel out right next to the cutting board, it soaks up the chemicals somehow, changed MY LIFE!!!

Doug looks like a mad scientist with those goggles and his hair 🤣

[leighabbr]

I have absolutely done this, he is valid!!!

[sapphirejade]

Oh~ I do that too!! Helps me a LOT whenever I'm cooking.😁😁 Looks like I'm not the only one to wear swim goggles while chopping onions.

I do believe the reason you cry is because whatever is in the onion is attracted to water, so what I like to do is put a cup of water or a damp washcloth beside the onions, so they have a closer source of water to go to and it works

When I get an apartment I'm definitely going to have designated onion goggles😂

[jb]

Lol Doug is still in high spirits after that Top Gun experience

[subishbenjamin]

Hi jeanelle!! I have a good quick ramen recipes that I love!

1.ramen(I recommend the shin one)
2.HONEY!!!(I used raw honey I think I forgot)
And that’s basically it😭
It reminds me of miso soup!

Another way to reduce it is to place a cup of water next to you. The reason onions make you cry is because the gas that comes from it is attracted to water, Your eyes are very wet so the gas travels to your eyes making them cry. But if you placed some water next to you it would go to the cup instead! I tried it myself it works.
