"Crying Over Chopped Onions? This Simple Hack Has the Answer For many home cooks, chopping onions can be a tear-inducing nightmare. But one clever user has shared a surprising solution to this common problem. By placing a desk fan on the countertop, the fan disperses the onion's natural gas, which causes the stinging sensation in the eyes, away from the cook. This ingenious hack has been hailed as a game-changer for those who struggle with onion-induced tears, and it's surprisingly easy to implement. With this simple trick, cooks can chop onions without the added frustration of constant tears."
So many people on here are like "How do I stop crying when I chop onions?" Well, I just put a desk fan on the countertop. It disperses the onions' tear gas, and blows it away from you. Even when I have the fan blowing right at me across the cutting board (which in theory means the onion fumes are aimed right at my eyes), the fan keeps the gas so diluted in the air that I feel absolutely nothing. https://i.imgur.com/MaWLZn5.jpeg submitted by /u/psychosis_inducing [link] [comments]
