I am super sensitive to onions and start crying immediately...some other tricks I've tried and have worked to varying degrees of success (I truly believe everyone is different in their onion reactioness)...1. I keep a small jar candle in my kitchen, if I'm cutting an onion, I light it first, 2. if I can't light the candle, i'll grab a piece of bread, it absorbs the odors for some reason; and 3. if my candle isn't handy and i'm out of bread, I only cut one end off until i'm almost done....Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16190758254756362534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861833534373968679.post-58796513391446030242009-03-11T12:32:00.000-05:002009-03-11T12:32:00.000-05:00The -only- thing that's ever worked for me in rega...The -only- thing that's ever worked for me in regards to less tears while onion chopping is wearing contact lenses *L* Now that I'm back to glasses I have a handy dandy onion chopper that I absolutely LOVE!mubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10673719943332888707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861833534373968679.post-18605075539798724002009-03-11T11:56:00.000-05:002009-03-11T11:56:00.000-05:00great tutorial - pretty pictures! your blog is ad...great tutorial - pretty pictures! your blog is adorable... i have been wanting to try the "bread in the mouth" trick from my mom-in-law...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10280975416527978241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861833534373968679.post-39925495707952548952009-03-11T00:05:00.000-05:002009-03-11T00:05:00.000-05:00Does it make me less of a cook if I cheat when I n...Does it make me less of a cook if I cheat when I need to dice anything and use Pampered Chef's food chopper? Then, I don't have to touch the onion or whatever I'm cutting very much. And really, I'm ok with being "less than" if it means the items are mostly the same size, it's easy to clean up and I don't make a huge mess by accidentally cutting off my finger. Which I would totally do if you hadn't already done it. Now it's just not as exciting a prospect.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09606345600693133040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861833534373968679.post-687722717199575192009-03-11T00:02:00.000-05:002009-03-11T00:02:00.000-05:00Thanks for the tip.
