The smell of onions causes tears

The smell of onions

Before you start cutting the onion, put it infreezer or refrigerator for 15-20 minutes (cooling the bulb before cutting reduces the emission of harmful substances). You can also cool the cleaned bulb under cold water for a few minutes.

Choose a very sharp and thin knife for cutting onions, without serrations. Rinse the knife with cold water more often before and during cutting.

Place the onion in warm salted water for a few minutes before slicing.

Turn on the cold water tap and chop the onion next to the sink, rinsing your hands and wiping your eyes with a handkerchief soaked in water.

Light a beeswax candle (not paraffin!) next to the cutting board - this will oxidize the sulfur and change its composition so that it will no longer cause tears.

As soon as you feel a burning sensation, smell something with a strong smell - coffee beans, for example.

Try to breathe through your mouth so that the onion juice does not irritate your nasal mucosa. If this does not work, try singing while cutting or tie a handkerchief around your nose.

Fill your mouth with water, and when you feel the burning sensation again, change the water.

Ventilate your kitchen: Open a window or use a table fan, placing it to the side of the cutting board so that it creates air flow between you and the onions.

Blow on the onion while cutting or whistle to help clear volatile sulfur from your eyes and nose.

Lightly sprinkle the cutting board with salt.

Hang onion peelings from your ears.

Put on the head half of the cut onion.

Chew parsley! (chewing parsley oxidizes sulfur substances, rendering them harmless) Do this in glasses: swimming, snowboarding. You can add a clip (for diving) on your nose.

Stick out your tongue while you chop onions - the moisture on your tongue will absorb chemicals in the air before they reach your eyes.

Talk more - recite poems or excerpts from your favorite works - this will create air movement, and the onion vapors will not stagnate near your nose and eyes.
