Well.... I like to cut it as it is no goggles,chilling or even vents because it is the only way to cry and no one knows if it's fr or not

[@jibbimelon]

i had a stroke reading this

[@LukaMarie7]

Over my 13 years of culinary experience and cutting lots of onions, I've tried every trick in the book. They don't all work and there are other factors at play that cause the release of the enzymes. What it boils down to is the sharpness of your knife, the age of the onion, and HOW you cut it (slicing through it, not pushing your knife straight down and in a sense bashing your knife through the layers. Doing a mincing technique also causes an onion to release all of those enzymes.) However, if you have to cut a large amount of onions, you'll tear up regardless, so just wear the goggles to avoid ruining your mascara. Or... How one of my old chef's use to say: chop faster.

is it weird that i have never cried whilst cutting an onion, is there something wrong with my onions

[@LukaMarie7]

@@lulutulip6 lol, no, you just have a high tolerance to their enzymes

[@louloutedb8127]

In France we brush olive oil on the knife with which we are going to cut the onion. Do not hesitate to repeat the operation during the cutting of the onion. It works very well for me and I don't cry anymore. (also you must not forget to have a sharp knife)

[@bread_yuna]

Yeah, I love your technique. Thanks for sharing! I think this technique minimize the release of the enzyme from the onion, hence why I think this technique is so effective! Not to mention simple too!

[@vilmarosales]

Put a bowl filled with water next to the cutting board. I never cry when I cut onions without me knowing my onions are kept in the fridge.

[@vaughan3273]

If you start crying first then the onions cant make you cry i dont get why people dont think if these simple solutions

[@MyFocusTime-tv9uf]

[@Loanica]

Take a shot every time Jessica says "compounds", LOL! Thank you for this video! I always cry when onions are cut, even from far away ^^'

[@xxaniimezx4983]

[@aprilrosario6869]

I use the plastic clear glasses they give you at the shooting range. Works so well!

[@iunapow5708]

Chewing gum helps too!!

[@kittiemeiki]

I keep a bowl of cold water next the the board then dip it inside the water every time I do a big cut
I also make sure to rinse the onion in freezing water before I cut it

[@TheWolfCook]

Hello Jessica. I liked your video

[@june-de7mz]

[@abhishekdas2584]

Also , peele the onions
and then soak them into water before cutting . ✌

[@gab194bbece7]

To me she’s Gorgeous 🥰

[@Speed001]

I cut, then dab my eyes with a towel, instantly gets rid of everything.
I also like to rinse under water after doing big cuts.

[@Swatii_018]

Put onions into the water for 2 minutes.. trust me it really works

[@Jacksonwang1]

😂😂😂😂for cutting we should bring a candle for romantic climate 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@__-112]

I keep a few sips of water and it helps a lot
Sure while cutting extremely huge ones it burns my eyes s little
**the only reason our eyes burn is that we inhale something present in them

[@qasimwajid4159]

Put a wet paper towel on your cutting board and cut your onions cry free 😊

[@nicnak2002]

So, this is a genuine question and i’m not trying to call you out. In one step, you said to leave the root intact but in the next step you sliced the onion top-to-bottom. I’m confused, if you put it face-down does it not matter if you cut up the root? Or was the root the side that was already trimmed off?

[@JessicaGavin]

When cutting the onion in half, I typically trim the top of the bulb so that I can put it that side down on the board, then cut in halve from the root end down. Putting it face down after halving right away prevents so much of the sulphur compounds from going into the air, since they are very volatile.

[@jgullave16]

Delegate!

[@Ksg12345]

you can take a wet piece of paper towel on stick it next to you and it was absorb all of the onion smell

[@12KTheTopChamp]

Put a wet towel close to the onion

[@halfbreed4life62]

I just don't cut the root end off until last

[@Scarface-xs5sw]

Lmao, just put a wet paper towel next to the onions you’re cutting. The chemicals released by the onion seek moisture, they will go the wet paper towel instead of your eyes

[@animatedkings5505]

[@pampel3657]

[@imbunny21]

Put a piece of bread in your mouth while you chop
