Re: Onions

Onions are such a pain in the eyes i always end up with really sore watery eyes, i tried wearing my glasses while cutting them albeit reduced the sting & water a little but not a cure:( Im sure someone will have better suggestions:)

Re: Onions

Keep the onions in the fridge, they don't make your eyes water as much when cold.

Re: Onions

keeping onions in fridge is great, but the strong ones still make your eyes run ooooooooo, what i have done in the past is put a teaspoon in your mouth, it works , or when you have peeled the said onion run it under cold water then chop.

Re: Onions

I hate chopping onions. Tried keeping them in the fridge, chopping them under water but STILL they manage to get to me. Never tried a teaspoon though so thanks Mez. :)

Re: Onions

Do teh sensible thing and get the kids to chop them. Leave them in a sealed bag untill you need them

Re: Onions

Somehow the words "kids", "chop" and "sensible" don't seem to belong in the same sentence. :D
