Cut the onion but tears will not come! How?

The Dhaka Times Desk We all know that cutting an onion brings tears to the eyes. This is because onion contains sulfenic acid. So this gas is the cause of watery eyes while cutting onions.

Many people love to cook. But when you hear the name of cutting onions, you cry? Because the most annoying thing in cooking is cutting onions! But you can't think without onions. But have you ever thought, why repeatedly cutting onions irritates the eyes?

This is because onion contains sulfenic acid. So after cutting it, they come out and mix with other enzymes. And that's what makes surfer gas. It gets into the eyes and irritates the eyes and water comes out. That's why the smell of onion remains on the hands long after cutting.

Two to four onions can be cut every day while cooking. However, if there is a function at home, it is necessary to cut more onions. That's when you get into trouble. You can get out of this problem if you know a few tricks.

# First peel the onion, then put it in the deep freezer for an hour. If you cut the onion out of the fridge, no tears will come to your eyes.

# Another method is to peel the onion and soak it in cold water for 15 to 20 minutes. The sulfenic acid will be washed away and the eyes will not water while cutting. But the onion will become very slippery in this case. So be very careful to use knife or bow.

# The sharper the knife you use, the less you have to cry when chopping onions. Even if you are surprised, you can see if this method works. This is because a sharp knife does less damage to onion cells. So not too many enzymes are released, and so you don't have to cry when you cut onions like this! Source: Anandabazar Patrika.
