Probably every housewife willingly adds onions to all dishes where its presence is appropriate.

No, that’s not it – we overdid it with the word “willingly”: when it’s time to peel this vegetable and then chop it finely, all desire disappears, and we look for someone to whom we could delegate this task.

Instead of playing a counting game with your family, choosing whose turn it is to do the “dirty work,” we offer you a simple way out of this situation.

It turns out that the most ordinary freezer can help you avoid tears and loud sniffling.

All you need to do is pull yourself together and peel the onion, removing a few top layers of skin.

After this, place the prepared vegetable in the freezer.

Let the hot onion spend about half an hour in the cold, after which you can safely remove it from there and carry out further necessary manipulations.
