SAY goodbye to tears!
I'm was so SICK of crying every day as I prepared meals with onions. I was on a mission to SOLVE the SITUATION. Here's the SCIENCE behind onions and tears...
When an onion is cut, the ruptured onion cells release enzymes which break down nearby sulfur compounds into oxides and acids. These re-form to make a gas. This gas moves into your eyes and then mixes with your tears to form sulphuric acid.–from Alton Brown in a Good Eats Moment Who's looking for more SULPHURIC ACID in their life? not me. According to the SCIENCE, isolate your eyes, and no SADNESS. The SUMMER is over and who doesn't have a pair of goggles lying around collecting dust? I have made 4 goggle purchases before finding some that didn't leak on my kids... Enter my onion SOLUTION.
All you need is a moment of effort to go find those useless leaking goggles in the swim bag or bottom of the closet, walk over to the kitchen and pick the drawer or cupboard closest to where you do your cutting and deposit them. They don't have to be water-tight, just snug.
Before you cut into the onion, SLIP them on and whoa-la, happiness. Added bonus: your family will think its hilarious. :)
Help me, help you. YOUR WELCOME!
