How to Not Cry When Cutting Onions

When we posted our new vlog the other day, there was a scene in it of me cutting onions and trying not to cry, which is something I have struggled with for years (it’s soooo annoying and gets in the way of cooking).

Well, a sweet reader, @jaseclay9951 commented a solution for how to not cry when cutting them! They said:

“Re: cutting onions. Place a wet cloth or paper towel near where they are being cut. There is a chemical in onions that is attracted water. Generally, that is the eyes. Instead of heading to your eyes it goes toward wet towel.”

There you have it! Who knew? I plan to try it sometime this week when making dinner.
