If you are tired of running eyes when cutting onions, I saw the best tips on Youtube and on the internet that will help. I tried many different ways from the internet such as keep a distance from the onions while cutting it and wash the onion after it peel before using it but apparently it does not work. The goggles actually works but if you do not want to wear that uncomfortable piece over your eyes, I hope these tips below will help.
FIRST TIP
The important note I have gathered in these videos below, always use a sharped knife when chopping onions for the three different techniques shown below.
SECOND TIP
I normally try this one a lot and it actually works but I leave it longer chilling than just a minute or two. The Kitchn has mentioned that "with a cold onion, less propanethial S-oxide will evaporate." In other words this S-oxide would be less and it will prevent as much watery eyes as before. But even if you try this method, just pushing it in the freezer and taking it out in a minute will not help. I freeze the onions for 10 to 15 minutes and it actually works when I left it for longer.
Note: Do not leave it for too long in the freezer because it will get squishy and watery so its best to leave it within 10 to 15 minutes
