What is the best way to prevent crying from unions?

Question

As you already know, people cry from unions when they cut them. What can you do to the unions to make you not cry? So what I'm asking is how can you cut unions with out crying? Give me a few tips please. Thanks everyone.

Answer 1

Light a candle next to where you're cutting the onions. This will cause some fo the fumes to burn off before getting into your eyes and respiratory system.

Answer 2

The best way to keep onions from making you cry is to chop them fast. Purchase a good set of kitchen knives that will allow you to cut efficiently.

a few ideas you can try to stop the tearing effect:

1. Chill the onions in the refrigerator an hour before chopping them: By cooling the onions, you prevent the onions from releasing the chemical that causes the tearing effect.
2. Work in a well-ventilated area: If you work in a space with poor ventilation, you are concentrating the gas from the onions. Try using a fan to keep the gas from concentrating.
3. Wear goggles: You may look silly wearing goggles in the kitchen, but at least you won't be crying. The goggles prevent the gas from reaching your eyes.
4. Cut the onions under water: I don't recommend this technique because you are more likely to cut yourself using it. However, if you understand the risk, the water can keep the chemicals in the onions from forming the irritating gas.

As I said earlier, the best way to prevent the tearing effect of onions is to chop them quickly. This is the technique that professional chefs use when chopping onions. If you have the money, invest in a good set of kitchen knives. Not only will the knives help you with onions, they will save you a lot of time with many of your cooking tasks. If you can't buy a set of knives, use one of the techniques above to lessen the effects of the volatile gas.

Answer 3

Here are a couple tips on onions, not unions lol. Before you start cutting onions light a candle or two next to where you will be cutting. The flames absorb the smell of the onion. Less tears. After you finish cutting your onion run your stainless steel knife under some cool water and rub your fingers/hand along the non bladed side of the knife while its still in the cool water. This will take the onion smell right out of your hands. This is no joke, it really works.

Answer 4

I suppose you could avoid unions entirely by being self-employed.

: )


Presuming you meant onions, always use a very sharp knife, and chill the onions in the refrigerator at least a half hour before cutting, or put them in a bowl of ice water for 15 minutes.

This will reduce the expansion, and thus inhibit the release of the molecules and vapours that cause tears.


You could also try cutting the onions under a light spray of tap water, which will carry away the tiny particles and vapours as they are released. This requires that you have a board the fits below the top of your sink, and is safe for cutting there.

Answer 5

If you're cutting onions, avoid cutting the root end of the onion until last. I've also found that if you light a match, blow it out and hold the match in your teeth to allow the smoke of the match waft into your eyes, the smoke helps to lessen the sting from the onion vapors. By holding the match in your teeth, your hands are still free to chop your onion. Onions that make your eyes water when cut are fresh. If it really annoys you, you could use less than fresh onions. I've put them in the fridge for a couple of days before I use them.

If you're cutting unions, consult the union stewards and try not to take things personally. Business is business unfortunately.

Answer 6

it is organic-D propaganda. As a minimum of certainly one of your respondents has reported, elected union leaders characterize workers interior of a capitalist gadget, and unions income on the capitalist gadget, so the thought which you advise is ludicrous. What unions do furnish is a gadget of tests and balances, sorely had to curtail company GREED and CORRUPTION, that's what Republicans unharness every time they arrive into potential that finally leads to financial disaster such by way of fact the super melancholy and the greater moderen melancholy-point RECESSION that coated a financial gadget MELTDOWN.

Answer 7

Hard for me to answer since I have blue eyes so the onions dont affect me as much but wear goggles or keep the onion arms length away from you

Answer 8

The way I stop crying from unions is to stop attending weddings.

Answer 9

Put it in the freezer for at least 10 minutes. If you don't have time for this breath through your mouth and not your nose.

Answer 10
