You can only cook desserts without cutting onions. If it's something serious, you won't be able to look at the food without tears.
Meat, fish, soup, salads, pie fillings - it's hard to imagine all of this without onions. There are a few tricks that will teach you how to cut onions with a cool smile on your face.
Lifehack with a refrigerator
To cut an onion without shedding a tear, you need to cool the onion first.
To do this, you should put the required amount of vegetables in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or in the freezer for 10-15 minutes.
However, you should not store large stocks of onions here all the time – they will spoil.
Lifehack with water
Before you start chopping vegetables, rinse the onion and knife blade in cold water.
The effect of this life hack is short-term, but it will help out if you don’t have even 10 minutes to keep the vegetable in the freezer.
Lifehack three
But all this is empty words if you cut the onion with a dull knife. The sharper the blade, the faster the torture will end.
The problem is that the dull blade crushes the onion skins. This causes more juice to be released, and with it, tear substances.
