I always cry when peeling or cutting onions. Any tips?

!!Answer

No More Weepies!

 

There are a lot of home remedies to stop the crying process when cutting up an onion:

  • Chew gum at the same time -> can't cry while chewing!
  • Freeze or chill the onion before you starting cutting or peeling. This cancels out of the enzymes that cause you to get weepy.
  • Cut it the right way, check out the video below!
