hi Hetal and Anuja thanks for the nice tips 🙂 i have more tip for this 🙂 if you like chewing gum then start chewing gum just a min before cutting the onion 🙂 it actually helps. it reduces the amount of tears considerably 🙂

Cut onions into 2 halves and then soak in water for five minutes before chopping fine and say bye to tears

I’m one of those who has stored onions and potatoes together forever, although they’re in plastic bags. Can you tell me how far apart they need to be to be free of the risks of over-ripening (if they’re in plastic bags)? Is keeping them in separate bins in the same cabinet ok?

Thanks!

In reply to Megha.

Hi Meghna,
The Onions are put in the freezer for 15-20 minutes and that does not change the flavor. 🙂

Wow…. i did not know this…i avoided cooking anything that involved Onions as I could not bare the smell and fumes.

Do you know by freezing, will the smell of Onions also reduce when cooking?

Thank you both. And i will also try the goggles 🙂 i cant believe it but it actually is better than crying…
