Yes in theory if you chill or refrigerate the onion this will cool the vapours that make your eyes water, this causes them to move down toward the floor instead of up toward your eyes, but I find the best is to is to peel the onions in a bowl of cold water or under a running tap, or try and old wives tale by holding a tea spoon between your teeth.
To peel onions without crying, you can try chilling the onion in the fridge before peeling, cutting the onion under running water, or wearing goggles to protect your eyes from the onion's fumes.
The dependent variable in this experiment would be the amount of crying produced by cutting each onion, measured in tears shed or self-reported discomfort levels. The chilling method (freezer, refrigerator, kitchen) would be the independent variable being tested to observe its impact on reducing tears while cutting the onion.
You wont get same taste of onion if you boil it. But yes it will prevent you from crying.
chill the onions before cuttin it
I am also looking for some, but I only have one. Will chilling an onion before cutting it keep you from crying? There is also another one about extracting onion DNA, but i don't know much about it. hope i helped:):) because I'm looking too!
yes if you put the oniion in the freezer 10-15 miutes before you use it ,it prevents you from crying
Yes. Also, if you chew bubblegum while cutting the onion it is supposed to prevent you from crying
I read something that said to burn a candle while cutting an onion. I tried it and it actually worked.Another method is to cut the onion under water.when cutting onions place your cut pieces into cold water to maintain the tear gases.When you peel your onion dip it in cold water before cutting and continue to dunk it periodically as you cut to keep those tear gases to a minimumonion is also good for those burned rice situations-- just cut an onion in half and put it into the pot of burned rice to eliminate that burned rice odor-- This may not always work with the taste of burned rice but at least you can somewhat control the odor.
is order to avoid crying 1.wear glasses 2.wash while cutting
I'm pretty sure that your gum tastes very... flavory or aomething and so it is overwhelming the smell of onion or something. (sorry.)
Since tears come out of your eyes, you could technically get your eyes removed so you could not physically cry anymore :)
sharpen your knife before hand and rinse the onion in hot water for about 3-5 mins before hand also, its what we do at work
