How To Stop Crying When Peeling Onions by Nobody: 11:50am On Jan 16, 2016 |
Hello friend today i decided to give this write up to my fellow internet researchers * i was in the village this december that just past i.e 2015 and my grand ma told me to slice onion and while slicing them i started crying for no reason After doing some research i found out that the onion releases some harmfull gas to the air within that is in a way dangerous to the eye .. And the tears comming out of the eye is a way of removing excess of the gas.... So after some time my granny told me to take in a little bit of salt, so i did and to my suprise it subsided After some reasoning of what just happened i found out that why the tears reduced was because the salt i took in , added a minute amount of 0.001% of saltiness to my eye fluid causing a over saturated solvent[tears] to the solute[onion gas] So all i am trying to hit at is those ladies that cry in the kitchen while cutting onion ''say bye bye to tears'' because if you just take in a little bit of salt it is gone do not take in a spoon full of salt as seen in the image above, because if you do that i am not to be held responsible. Salt is the vaccine Cc:lalaticlala Source: www.expocreek.com/forum2_theme_111988125.xhtml&tema=69 |

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 1 Like |

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 life when I'm done. |

Richy4: Oh, I just saw this above my post suggesting same. I guess the fridge thing works then. |

Gaborone: 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.... |
Re: How To Stop Crying When Peeling Onions by Nobody: 2:28pm On Jan 16, 2016 |
Richy4: At least, you've tried it at all. lol. Perhaps the confirmation will inspire me to try it out. |
Re: How To Stop Crying When Peeling Onions by Onegai(f): 3:20pm On Jan 16, 2016 |
Putting it in a fridge or running the onion under cold tap water. No tears method. |
Re: How To Stop Crying When Peeling Onions by JonTal: 4:15pm On Jan 16, 2016 |
The onion should be in the fridge for how long, @Gaborone and @Richy? |
Re: How To Stop Crying When Peeling Onions by blessedfavoured: 4:16pm On Jan 16, 2016 |
Lol that tap water doesn't work all the time. Some onions are stubborn. The help puts the first layer of skin in her mouth, and it works for her. Never tried it though. I'll try the salt and fridge tips today! |
Re: How To Stop Crying When Peeling Onions by Nobody: 4:23pm On Jan 16, 2016 |
JonTal: JonTal, I guess long enough to make it cold. Richy4 would know better though...he's the one who's actually tried it. |

why will you destroy your eyes,just make sure you cut it under running tap water! or get a bowl of water,cut the onions inside and that's all. |
Re: How To Stop Crying When Peeling Onions by Pidggin(f): 7:44pm On Jan 16, 2016 |
Just soak the onions inside a bowl of water |
Re: How To Stop Crying When Peeling Onions by YourCoffin: 8:10pm On Jan 16, 2016 |
The solution is simple: don't cook with onions. I've often wondered what's the work of onions in food? |
