Recipe Description
When you cut into the root of the onion it releases gasses that make you cry.
1 Onion
1 Sharp Paring Knife (I used a larger knife for one method)
Cutting board
Bowl of water
Place a bowl of water very near the cutting board where you will be cutting the onion.
Cut off the top of the onion.
Remove the skins.
Slice the onion across almost to the root for slices.
To dice the onion; cut it in half lengthwise and slice lengthwise all the way across as shown (almost to the root of the onion.)
Turn the onion around and slice the sides as shown.
If you pour the water into a glass and drink the water it will probably taste like an onion. ( If you have a strong onion.)
My method was the water trick by itself until I learned how to cut it this way. I like the idea of using water with this method for double protection.
This method is for people who are very sensitive to the gasses when cutting an onion. This method has some waste so I actually prefer method 1for myself.
Place a bowl of water very near the cutting board where you will be cutting the onion.
Place your knife about 1/3 out from the center of the onion and cut it at an angle to remove the bulb part of the onion.
Remove the core and throw it away.
Remove the onion skins.
You may cut the onion any way you like it now.
I found this method on the internet as well as other tips: http://www.wikihow.com/Chop-Onions-Without-Tears
These methods really help when cutting onions.
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!
