Why-Do-We-Cry-When-Cutting-Onions-300x336Hey there Wise Family Eye fans! Find your eyes are tearing up uncontrollably while you’re cooking and slicing up onions? Our team here put together some quick tips in order to alleviate this:

  • Turn on the oven vent hood in order to ‘suck away’ the scent and lessen tears.
  • Pre-freeze onions. This will lessen the compounds and tear-inducing chemicals.
  • Get in gear with goggles. Would you believe that onion goggles actually exist. Yes! You can pick a pair up in home stores and specialty cooking shops.
  • Choose fresh and sweet onions. Vidalia onions and other sweet varieties incite less tearing and crying.

These are some quick and fairly simple ways to hold the tears at bay.

Happy cooking!
