The trick to not crying while cutting an onion is to not form an emotional bond with the vegetable. For your next video, can you teach us how not to almost cut our fingers off at the first knuckle while cutting said onion? I'm amazed that you still have digits left to hold the onion in place.
Another tip is to put a glass of water next to the chopping board, or/and have wet hands. The gas in sticks to moisture, and ones eyes is normally the nearest thing that is wet. So if you have wet hands is less of a chance you will cry. :)
It honestly reminded me of the episode of Spongebob where he went to like rock bottom or something and the guy at the bus station would spit after every word this probably won't make sense but I can see the episode playing in my head and it makes sense to me
The Allyl sulphide gas in the bulb have anti-mutagenic (protects from cancers) and anti-diabetic properties (helps lower blood sugar levels in diabetics). Further, it blocks platelet-clot formation, and has fibrinolytic action in the blood vessels. Altogether, it helps decrease in overall risk of coronary artery disease (CAD), peripheral vascular diseases (PVD), and stroke.
Great tip, but I've cut a much smaller section out in similar fashion and it saves a lot more of the onion. I couldn't justify wasting that much of the onion.
there's an easier way with less wastage. chilled onions won't make you cry as it releases its tear-causing enzyme into the air at a much slower rate than a room temperature onion. just put some onions in the fridge for an hour or 15 minutes in the freezer before cutting them. but no longer than that as onions take on a mealy texture in the fridge if kept for too long. or breath through your mouth while chopping an onion, it greatly reduce tears.
Yep, I am sure this would work, but you are losing the best part of the onion. We slice off each end and zap the onion in the micro for 30 seconds. This will help rid the onion of the Propanethiol S-oxide. That's the fumes that get in your eyes.
Watching her do this made me nervous. I would definitely chop my finger off doing this technique and won't be trying this. I will just live with the tears.
I'll share a trick. Wear contacts. These onions for all they years I have been wearing them have never affected my eyes while contacts were in. If you don't have contacts your screwed..
I thought it was an interesting vid but it just seemed kind of waste of an onion. like leaving the roots on actually helps keep your onion fresh longer and removing so much of the onion really just kind of leaves you with less onion to use. It was informative on the structure of an onion though so that's cool.
lol wasting that huge amount of onion??? you can cut the big part and wash the toxic part with water and peel after that. you can cry a little, but at least you don't need to put it in the trash!!! O.o
The time it took to do one onion with sloppy cuts and bad knife skills I already had 5 perfectly julienned onions. What prevents the acids from being launched in the air is slicing, not chopping with a sharp knife. Chopping crushes and explodes the little sacks of acid...
K, so for everyone who thinks this is wasteful, I'd like to point out that you can use any leftovers from preparing an onion, including the bulb and even the skin, to flavor stock, soup, sauces, and brines. If none of those options seem realistic to you, you probably have other kitchen/eating habits that are far more wasteful than throwing away part of an onion.
what if u have to cut 100 onions i bet u will stay 2 weeks only to do that...the easiest way is to cut it in half and put in in cold water after that u can start chop it as u like...
there is this thing called hunger.. also food waste.. It also makes people cry. YES cut out the root ( and save it for a spicy salsa ) - (dry it out then break it up for a nice dried onion garnish) ( use it for a soup stock ) etc. etc. Do not just say " throw that part away" I just showed this to my 11yo wanting to know how to slice without crying. poor teaching here
I'm showing my age but this video reminded me of the Saturday Night Live sketch done by Dan Aykroyd where he does a kitchen demo & cuts himself so badly that [fake] arterial blood shoots everywhere. I was fully expecting this to happen in reality for this poor uninformed woman. Has OSHA viewed this? If it were an industrial training film the company would have been shut down for massive safety violations! Once she was coring the onion held airborne, I stopped the video, thumbs downed it, then decided to leave a safety comment but then when I skimmed the previous comments I realized I wasn't the only one who had the same immediate reaction. But at least I'm not resorting to F-bombs, name-calling ['-tard], genital body parts, etc. I truly wish those who post, write etc. learn a few actual adjectives rather than just resort to all the foul language to express themselves. But then we have severely dumbed-down our country; our [broken] educational system, hard at - rest.
