Onions are a rather capricious vegetable that many housewives have to deal with on a daily basis.

That's why the last thing you want to do is shed tears while processing it.

Culinary expert of HERE NEWS, chef and fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova will share her developments with you.

4 Ways to Stop Onions from Making You Cry

The first way is to soak the onion in water before using it. Incidentally, this is the life hack that restaurants use to avoid crying while chopping onions.

By the way, if you pour boiling water over the onion heads, then peeling them will be as easy as pie. After exposure to hot water, the skin will peel off by itself.

If the vegetable is not peeled, a simple life hack will also help. Just cut the vegetable in half, and after that, getting rid of the peel will be easy.

Another life hack is the right knife. The thing is that if you take a cutlery with teeth, it will tear the layers of the onion, causing a large amount of onion to be released.
