HEY SANDY,

I do the same thing to my onions. I love stuff like that that speeds meal making up to.

Thanks for adding that. I will have to try it. I guess my only concern would be the control you would have under water trying to cut up and onion. But I will give it a try…Thanks!

Hiya! :)
I heard a tip one time on one of the big cooking shows on how to avoid tears during onion cooking – and BOY does it work!

Just take a big bowl (like one that you mix up cookie dough in) and fill it aboutg 1/2 way with water. Then plunk the onion in, and cut it up under water. The water traps whatever it is that floats up and makes you cry.

I love your cutting tip, thought I’d share one on how to not have cutting them make you cry ;)

I love this idea because I, too, HATE cutting onions. Thank you so much for the tip, smart lady!
