Perhaps at least once in our lives, we shed tears for something we thought can’t hurt us. We cried our eyes out from the pain, the agony… of cutting up onions!

Crying while cutting them damn onions is a prevalent international problem that there are memes about it. There’s even an internet phrase, “damn ninja-cutting onions making me cry” That’s how big a problem it is!

Fortunately, there are those brave souls who tried solving it…

From helmets to goggles, anything to keep the tears at bay!

Men and women alike fall prey to those nasty onion tears!

So to sum up, there are two ways to prevent crying from cutting onions. The easier one is using a food processor, DUH! And then there is the nifty trick of soaking them in cold water for an hour to neutralize the chemical irritant. The harder one, but is oh-so satisfying is to take out the noxious bulb step-by-step as demonstrated.

Cut up the base part of the onion…

Extract that noxious part, and chop away…

Nifty, right? Well excuse me as I go try this if it really works. Onion rings, here I come!
