My No Cry Onion Trick

I hate hate hate chopping onions. 

I've found that I'm super sensitive to onion mist 

and end up in tears with the first slice.

However....

I read somewhere recently that a sharp knife makes no tears!

It has something to do with a dull knife breaking more of the onion on contact or something.

Anyways, I tried it and it works!!!!!!

I sharpened my knife right before I chopped these onions and 

there were no tears. Not even a hint of tears :)

Happiness for all!

Hope this helps you with your onion adventures.

In case you are curious,

this onion went on to flavour a delicious rack of ribs in the slow cooker ;)
