  • Sorry

    Take it from me, I've been a prep-cook for many years, and if I wasted that much food I'd be in big trouble...look how much onion is just thrown away. Seriously, all you need to do is make sure your knife is nice and sharp, and not serrated!
    The more crazy stuff you do with the onion the more it's gonna squirt, the more it squirts the more you get in your eyes. And for god's sake, wash your hands before you touch your face!

    • Right

      Why someone marked this down I have no idea. He is absolutely correct. When you mash the onions with a dull or serrated knife you force out the gasses that make you cry.

  • Yikes.

    Yikes dude, sharpen that knife. You are going to end up hurting yourself with that dull knife.

  • The truth...

    The developed gas reacts with water to create sulfuric acid, (ps: you have water in you´r eyes..)
    Have something moist nearby and problem solved. Wet towel around neck, wet knife/onion, running water close by, etc...
    Cutting out the "bulb" might help because its the juiciest part of the onion.

    Oh and don`t use a serrated blade on an onion...
    (or a file knife on bread... or a spoon on a fish...

    This guy looks like an overweight Ali G. The bling bling on his finger doesn't help either.

    I don't cry because the union has gases in it....I cry because I'm hurting a perfectl good union......poor little union....too bad I just had to put him away....

    By disturbed_1 1172993437
  • there is an easier way

    Put few matches between your lips from the wood-end side (The heads should be positioned outwards). That is it. Cut the onion however you like :)
