You want to 'not cry' when peeling / chopping an onion?

Submerge the onion in a bowl of water and peel /chop it while it's underwater.

No more tears

choppin the onion under water? that sounds ridiculous!





*sigh* ok i'll try it...

but then we'll be facing another problem no woman likes in her kitchen: more clutter and more dishes to clean (let alone finding the proper flat bowl with high edges to chop the onion in )



how bout we go Chef Jean-Pierre (the french guy) style. He avoids any sophistication when cooking. "you're not sending a man to the moon, you're making couscous!"

and whatever needs folding... well, lets just say they're 'swiftly put away' in the drawers. it doesn't take too much effort to stuff them in there

And that onion choppin technique... how would that eliminate the odor that causes tears to form? you still be choppin away aren't ya?

That's obvious, some we put away and some we hung;...but I never just "stuff them in" the drawers.

Re: onion - I ignored that bit. I'm more interested in the chopping technique. Hence the title and the second video
