Onions are fantastic vegetables, but they can be a big pain to prepare without a box of tissues handy.
There are plenty of tricks out there to keep your eyes from watering, but this is the simplest and most effective technique yet. And you don’t need any goggles or running water!
Chef Jack Scalfani filmed this video for YouTube to show of his tear-free trick for onion slicing.
Simply start at the root base and cut a circle about 1/3 of the diameter.
The goal is to remove that bulb inside the onion. According to Scalfani, this bulb contains the highest concentration of enzymes that mix with the air to produce sulfonic oxides that irritate our eyes.
Watch the video below to see how it’s done.
