55:49How one cuts an onion doesn't matter too much in stew, is going to fall apart and get really really soft anyway.
55:49I feel like you gotta eye wear when you get onions
55:52So the way I dice the onions is I keep my hand on the top of knife and sorta quick chop up and down.
55:53Chewing gum also helps
55:54and iit will help as welll
55:55Safety squint :thumbs_up:works every time (kind of)
55:59or if you half freeze it first
56:02please don't lose a finger
56:05thats right the oniogn gas gets into your nose and eyes
56:05Contact lenses give your eyes a shield. I can chop hundreds of onions without worries
56:06the fumes come from crushing like when a knife is not sharp
56:08I'd be amazed if there hasnt been
56:11doesn't freezing the onion also prevent the funky gasses to be released
56:15I usually wear a mask tho, helps alot
56:15Just dont wipe your eyes after cutting jalapeños
56:22Not to mention you're going to add pearl onions later anyway
56:23Chilling an onion beforehand can also help slow down the reaction that causes the crying
56:27learned that the hard way lmao
56:29I never had a problem cutting onions and didn't find out one reason until recently, apparently wearing contacts helps prevent the gas from hitting your eyes
56:35You could always smash the pieces to make em smaller.
56:36hello princess sama , nanideka? :eyes:
56:40I just tank it until it's over
56:42:palm_down_hand::palm_down_hand::palm_down_hand:
