Hey there folks! If you’re like me, you love cooking up a good meal. But let’s be real, cutting onions can be a real pain in the keister with all the tear-inducing gas they release. Lucky for us, there are some tips and tricks to keep the waterworks at bay.
First off, try tossing them in the fridge for about 30 minutes before cutting them up. That cold temperature will slow down the gas release, so your eyes won’t get all watery and red.
Another option is to cut those bad boys under running water. This will wash away the gas before it gets to your peepers, so you can slice and dice without the sting.
Now, I know some of you might be thinking, “But what if I don’t have running water nearby?” No worries, just cut those onions near a flame. The heat will neutralize the gas and you’ll be able to chop away without a single tear.
If all else fails, you can always wear goggles to protect your eyes from the gas. No need to go out and buy fancy kitchen goggles either, you can just use a pair of swimming goggles or any other protective eyewear you have lying around.
So, there you have it folks, some simple and easy ways to cut onions without tearing up. Give them a try and let me know how it goes. Happy cooking, y’all!
