Tears from cutting onions?

Well fear not…

I have just discovered that if you wear contact lenses…you dont get tears in ur eyes from chopping up onions…

Whoo Hoo!

OR.....you could just soak them in water a few minutes before cutting, and that should take care of the problem :)

Just dont lean over the onions as your chopping, lean back. My eyes never get watery unless i forget to lean back.

Don't lean backward to the point where you fall backward or cannot see what you are doing otherwise you will end up chopping your fingers.:D So be careful people.

^^ lol yes "lean back method" is for expert choppers only.

try "arms length" method to begin with.

Re: Tears from cutting onions?

Yeah soak in water before peeling. that does help

Re: Tears from cutting onions?

Soaking them in ICE cold water for a few mins after peeling and before cutting will not water your eyes. I have been doing it for years and it works great :k: I put them in cold water and add few icecubes.

Re: Tears from cutting onions?

methods of cutting onion without tears are the following:

cut/slice them under a tap, or rinse often. this washes away the stuff that makes your eyes water

or

put them in the fridge for a bit, then cut them while they're cold. This makes the chemical process slower, thus your eyes are safe :D

Re: Tears from cutting onions?

Or you could just do the whole crying thing and then maybees the person who is making you cut them wont ask you to do it again.

Iv been doing that for years...works for me!

[Sunset_Eyes]

My idea is the best guys. Man, soaking your onions in water or putting them in the fridge would only delay my khana pakana.

For those of you who live in pak…you can get prescription free contact lenses…just pop them in your eyes and voila!

Re: Tears from cutting onions?

I remember reading somewhere if you wear swimming goggles, you wont have tears.
