TIMESINDONESIA, JAKARTA – Have you ever cried for broken hearted? If you haven’t, then try to chop some onion, it might feel the same. You will be crying in tears a minute after chopping the onion. And it feels almost the same except for the grudge.

Onion or shallot is two most significant things you usually added in your food while cooking. Little did you know it, it has some tricks on how to chop it without leaving any tears.

Devina Hermawan, a chef, an author, and also a model shares the trick on how to treat this exquisite cry bag properly. She said in order to make it least stinging you need to soak it in hot water for 3 to 5 minutes.

You need to cut the base and the top of the onion with super sharp knife. Get the skin away and chop it like you used to do it.

You could also try another way of chopping your onion. Rinse the onion and let it dry. Cut the base and the top part. Slice it into two same sizes, and chop it. Devina also said that a sharp knife is the key to everything.

Onions contain amino acids called sulfoxides, and when you chop or cut into them, you damage the skin. This skin damage converts the sulfoxides into a super-annoying chemical. The onion releases it into their air, and it then wafts into your eyes.
