Thankiu

Salt is the answer to the crying wahala

TRADELYN:
Interesting! Thanks for sharing.

Richy4:
If you wanna cook next time, just put the onion you want to cut in the fridge.... you will not shade any tears or take salt while cutting

Gaborone:
That was a good read op.

Also learnt you can put it in a fridge just before use. They say a cold onion wouldnt make you 'cry'. I've never tried this though. I simply grab the onion(s), slice, cry, stop crying, cook, and move on with my live when I'm done.

Gaborone:



Oh, I just saw this above my post suggesting same. I guess the fridge thing works then.

yea.. I have tried it many times and it worked.... The only problem I got was just remembering putting it in the fridge..... I usually forget.. hence I still shade some tears any time I feel like cutting an onion to cooking....

JonTal:
The onion should be in the fridge for how long, @Gaborone and @Richy?

Gaborone:



JonTal, I guess long enough to make it cold. Richy4 would know better though...he's the one who's actually tried it.
