Notes

All the tricks for cutting onion without crying

  • Cold onion: Put the onion in the refrigerator at least an hour beforehand.
  • Soaking onion: Soaking the onion, after peeling and splitting it in 2, serves to denature the irritant enzyme. Also good for sweetening the flavor of the onion.
  • Wet knife blade: Wet the knife blade with cold water; you can wet the blade several times. 
  • Use a steam source: Bringing a jug of hot water close to the cutting board for work can reduce tearing.
  • Eat a piece of bread: Grandmother's remedy of slowly chewing a piece of bread while cutting the onion.
