Onion is an ingredient that is actively used in cooking. The vegetable makes the taste and aroma of dishes brighter and more interesting.
However, chopping onions can sometimes be a challenging task.
Luckily, experienced cooks have found ways to avoid crying while chopping onions.
Sharp knife
The tool should be well sharpened. In this case, when cutting, the pulp will not be damaged too much, and therefore too much gas will not be released, which provokes the appearance of tears.
Cold
The vegetable should be placed in the refrigerator for 20 minutes beforehand. The fact is that low temperatures slow down chemical reactions.
Extractor hood
If the room is well ventilated, the gas that causes tears will not get into the eyes. Therefore, it is better to work near a working exhaust hood. In addition, it will definitely not be superfluous to open a window.
Glasses
Some housewives recommend wearing glasses before cutting onions to protect your eyes.
