A simple onion slicing technique that will save you from tears: you will never cry

Shedding tears while slicing onions is one of the most unpleasant moments in cooking. That's why housewives have to go to any lengths to alleviate these annoying sensations.

But now everything has changed, because Dr. Joe, a qualified doctor with more than 2.1 million subscribers on TikTok, has shown a great way to cut onions. From now on, this process will not cause tears.

According to Joe, slicing onions produces a gas that turns into sulfuric acid when it comes into contact with the moisture in your eyes. That's why the eyes start to burn and tears are released. The expert says that the effect of onions on the eyes can be minimized with a simple paper towel.

Just moisten a towel and place it directly next to the onion. In this way, the gas released from the vegetable will settle on it and will not reach your eyes. Of course, this won't completely prevent your eyes from crying, but it will make the discomfort much easier.
