We normally detest cutting onion due to the tears that flows and at times, due to tears flowing , not knowing what we're cutting, tend to cut our fingers too. Here are some tricks to help you cut onion without tears-
1) recently I heard a chef say, bite a small pieces of bread, you'll not cry
2) keep onions that you want to cut in the fridge over-night
3) after peeling the onion, wash it well
4) after peeling onion, wrap it in cling film and keep in the fridge, as at times, we need only half an onion, so next time, it will be easy and no tears either.
5) one of my husband's uncle used to say, put a slice of onion behind the ear and cut, you'll not cry ( this method, I've not tried, but have tried 2-4 methods)
6) keep the whole onion in the microwave for about 15 seconds, then peel and cut, it is easy and no tears either !
