  • peel them, cut them in half, and put them in COLD water for 5 to 10 min. that ALL.

  • thank you chef!!

  • ther's a tip ie to peel the onion cut into two halves & immerse it it water for a few minutes. the chemical which the chef mentioned is soluble in water. the onion taken out of water will not cause tears in your eyes even while cutting.. isn't that simple?? ;)

  • The best cookery site I have ever watched.Your sincerity is felt by those who watch you.Keep up the good work.

  • The best way to cut onions without tears is let your wife cut it

  • basic nice!!!!

  • After I have peeled the skin, I leave it in the freezer for 4-5 mins before cutting it, then I don't cry.

    I am wondering if u have tried it, and if it has any negative effect on the onion or the cooking.

  • Wear a gasmask or CUT the onion rather than CHOP it, slicing motions cuts the cells rather than crush them, combined with a sharp knife that is honed a bit before each use, you will have no problems with tears. I promise

  • i just wear goggles! works well!

  • great! After remove peels from onions, put them in water for a while, this helps reducing the tearing effect.......i like the chef very much!!

  • You're supposed to chop a cold onion. the colder it is the harder it is for the "tear gas" to escape

  • good chef.

    Till now i have never seen a site that teaches basic concepts of cooking like chopping onions, separating egg whites and many more.

  • absolutely amazing tips!!! thanx a ton. to avoid the tears slice the onion in two and put it in a bowl of water for a minute or two...

  • WOW!!!
