It's hard to find a main dish that can be prepared without using onions.
However, the process of chopping and cleaning the vegetable cannot be called simple: due to the peculiarities of the chemical composition, the product causes tears.
This causes significant discomfort to the cook. But with the help of a few rules, you can simplify your task.
What culinary secrets are worth knowing?
Open the window
If you chop onions with a constant flow of fresh air, this will help to make the process much easier. The air will help to reduce the concentration of substances that cause tears.
However, be careful not to allow any drafts.
Ice water
Cold liquid also has great potential to make a cook's life easier. The onion itself should be treated with water before chopping, as well as the knife.
By the way, it is better to take a sharp accessory to speed up the cooking process.
Freezer
The most effective method is to put the peeled onion in the freezer for literally ten minutes.
Thanks to this simple secret, you can chop onions without tears.
