How to chop onions and not burst into tears? The life hacker decided to try the most popular methods on himself. What came of this, see our video.
While you cook onion rings, pasta with mushrooms and any other dish with onions, you will shed a lot of tears. Onion juice contains a caustic sulfur compound that spreads through the air and enters the mucous membrane of the eyes. To protect them, the lacrimal glands begin to work actively. As a result, we cut onions and cry.
How can we resist this? Some say you need to chew gum, others say you need to moisten a cutting board with water, some say you need to turn on the fan, some say you need to put on your swimming goggles, and some say you need to keep the onion in the freezer. We decided to check which of these methods actually works.
Now you know how to protect yourself from "onion tears" and you can cut the onion even very finely.
Like it if you hate onion crying. Write in the comments how you are struggling with this problem. And be sure to subscribe to the Lifehacker YouTube channel - there is still a lot of interesting and useful things.
