Cutting onions

[Tarbicus]

If, like me, you love onions but hate choppingthem, usually ending up looking like your favourite pet just died, here's a trick I've been using for years:

Take a fairly large piece of bread (one that you can hold in your mouth).
Put the bread in your mouth and hold it there.
Chop away.

No tears or irritation, pretty much guaranteed. But don't rub your eyes before washing your hands, it doesn't work that well.

Is there any archeological evidence of that? :wink:

Ahhh, I would have suggested a cheeseburger, but all the same.

I don't like onions, but a good tip nonetheless.

Good tip!
Washing my hands at intervals during the cutting also seems to work for me.

Absence of evidence ...

I don't like onions,...

Don't like onions! hock: What on earth do you put in your curry?

Good tip!

Another good tip, but you can't eat your lovely fresh baked hands after you've finished chopping your onions. :wink:

instead of onios you can also use Asafoetida in a curry.

Yes, but it's no good on tuna pizza.

Great tip! I also rince off the onion if it's a big enough chunk, along with the knife blade...

...or even better, I make my girlfriend cut them...har har!

This should go on the food forum. :!:
But still it is a nice tip Tarby :!:

Now I know why they put us out of the kitchen, in the bakc yard to clean the onions what I was doing my service.

Kind regards

I gave it a try last night, and I'll be darned if it didn't work!

Thanks for the tip!
