how to peel onions with tears?

Answer 1

To avoid crying when peeling an onion, try peeling the skin off then soaking the onion in cold water as it gets rid of the acids in the onion. Or another one that used to work with me was when chopping the onion dont cut the root off first as it is supposed to be the most acidic part of the vegetable where it is most likely to make you cry
Hope this helps

Answer 2

I don't know about with tears if u find a way let me know lol. Without tears I hear if u put a onion in the freezer awhile before peeling it seems to help. Also peeling under water helps.Don't cut the bottom side of the onion cut from the top down because its holds together better doesn't fall apart as easy could mean less chopping and less tears. I've also been told to chew gum don't know if it works or not but its worth a try. good luck

Answer 3

If you are trying to peel onions without tears running down your cheeks then the two best ways are to either peel whilst running under cold water but you will tear up with chopping it so the other good way is to put it in the freezer for under 1/2 hour first and then peel and chop. This prevents the fumes that the onion gives off when you chop or peeling it rising to your eyes and irritating then into tearing. What ever you do though do not freeze the onion fully as then it will be useless.

For peeling WITHOUT tears I've tried: keeping the onion in the fridge so it's cold, chewing gum, and running your hands under cold water. But a lot of people think it's simply a labor of love.
