  Tips to cut onion without making your eyes water

  • To avoid the enzyme cells from breaking and causing eye irritation, instead of pressing down hard every time you cut, use a sharp knife to cut decisively.
  • The flesh of the onion has a tubular shape, so if you cut the onion horizontally, the juice will not spray into your eyes.

  • Chilling the onion in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before cutting will reduce the amount of acid enzyme released into the air without affecting the flavor of the onion.
