I cut onions with the cutting board IN the sink with running water. i hate cutting onions
I know this might sound crazy, but have you tried using a bowl of water to help prevent tearing up while cutting onions? It's been two years since this video, so you may have learned some new techniques since then. Personally, I find that having a bowl of water next to me always helps, and I never tear up when using it. I'm not sure why, but it seems to work for me.
Why do you make it impossible to reply to you? I call BS on the root NOT protecting my fingers, because, according to you, if I’m an idiot the root isn’t going to help me anyway. Let me see .. Gordon Ramsey .. you. I’ll go with the former. Thanks!!
You lost me when you cut off the root. Gordon Ramsey not approved. I’ve always been taught to keep the root on so my fingers aren’t the causality.
Snippering, on palm on hand a slide from the knife
Nice one thanks for sharing ❤
Sharp knife helps reduce the tears
Thanks a lot, man. You're just awesome 😅😅👍👍👍
Also leaving the root and cutting also prevents your eyes watering
Super helpful. Thank you
Don't cut through the dirty, papery skin of the onion with the same knife that will produce the finished cuts. Peel the papery skin and first few layers with a paring knife. Great cuts. Nicely done video.
Thanks for these great onion cuts!!! Been looking for a video like this for so long
You have great arms for basketball!
Too prevent from crying when cutting an onion, run the onion under cold water!
I wear swim goggles when chopping onions lol no tears!
Onion is essential bc it's used to flavor so much and it can be used all ways from small to big, I prefer big chunks
I pretty much julienne all my onions always. Love that juli!
Why did you not leave the root end on to keep it all together?
3:11 Only one real method is swimming glasses/diving mask.
You need to isolate surface of eyes from aroma molecules of onion.
Maybe fan that will blow away aroma also will help as much as heavy breathing.
Leave the root and you won't cry
I heard cutting of the roots makes the onion bleed therefore makes you cry
Put your onions in the fridge let them cool before cutting them to stop the onion tears. I used to slice bags of onions too this trick almost stopped the tears completely
for home cooks, if you keep the onion attached to the root on either side it will not bleed as badly, reducing tears
If you cut the onions right under the stove vent while it’s turned on, the fumes go right up and not into your eyes! It works for me!! Less tears or no tears
If you just so happen to wear contacts, your eyes won’t tear when you cut the onions.
