Here are some friends with simlar question as we.And I have this question for many days,anyone help us?
Kitty said: Yes.A true and tried method to prevent watery eyes while cutting onions?-I try seach this on internet but no results found.Maybe this is a stupid question.
Mike said: oh,no,you are wrong.I have found as below for this question(A true and tried method to prevent watery eyes while cutting onions?),it will help you,my kids.
Answer:
Already been suggested, but the little swimming goggles really do the trick. I do a lot of cooking with my special ed. class and when we cut up onions they all fight over who "gets" to cut up the onion because they think wearing the goggles is funny. It does work like a charm though....try it!
bite on the end of a wooden matcstick, strike end hanging out of your mouth. The sulfur in the tip cuts the fumes which casue tears.
light a candle nearby !
Make your kids cut them and then tease them because they are crying...
Actually, No.. I have tried everything... breathe through your mouth, nose, put bread in your mouth, etc. The only one that does work, is wearing contacts. I do not wear them, but my husband does and he never has a problem cutting onions.
Oh and you can also take out the heart of the onion.. the bigger part in the very center. That is where most of the juices are. That does cut down on the watering eyes.
Wear goggles, it may look ridiculous but it works!
Buy 'sweet onions'. They don't make you cry.
Breath through your mouth.
It's the onion scent (vapors) going through your
nose that makes your eyes water.
the only way that i have been able to have less watery eyes is to keep the onion cold and wash it and the plate and the knife when cutting it. like when you chop of the ends then take off the skin wash the knife and onion in cold water and what ever you cut it on. it helps quite a bit but not if they are to green.
Chop them in the food processor.
Cut the onion underwater.
When using a cutting board leave a little water on the cutting board, wet your knife and rise your onions after peeling the skin..... keep a damped paper towel close by and dab your eyes.... the water soaks up the juice in the air caused by the onions.... it also depends how fast you are as well in cutting them....
I do this all the time and it works for me..... if you are cutting numorous onions do the same routine for each onion...
if it is a big onion run water thru your knife.... when cutting it in fours.... depending on how you want your onions cooked...
Hope this helps....
Just cut them under an open window or having a fan blowing away the tears making gas. I know I cut onions for 33 years ( bags and bags and bags and----- :-0
Wear a plain spectacles, or soak onion in water. In second option onions will loose its taste. Hence first is best.
The only two ways that I have found that work are (1) if you keep your mouth closed and (2) if you cut it under water. I have also heard that if you cut it from the bottom (the root part), it is suppose to not make you cry. I prefer the first method.
Food processor.
Put the onion in the fridge for an hour before cutting it
Chill them well in the fridge. It really does help. Although some onions seem impervious. I have been working in restaraunts for 20+ yrs.
