Lotti cries, a lot. Well okay, only when cutting onions but still, we eat onions often. I, on the other hand, wear contacts, so it keeps the onion stuff from making me cry, phew! Anyways, having a crying roommate when trying to make dinner, isn’t always fun so we (okay, Lotti did) for a few ways to solve the problem. Here are our two favorite ways:
1) Place onions in the freezer for about 15 minutes before cutting them.
- This one works, you just have to remember to do it 15 minutes before you want to cut them, which is always tricky in our house. We tend to have spur of the moment dinner ideas.
2) Burn a scented candle near you, while you work.
- We love candles, so it doesn’t even matter if it works that well, but the two things together does tend to help keep tears at bay.
Do you have any tricks when it comings to cutting onions and not crying? Is anyone immune to it like me?
