Onions playing sad music? Freeze them
Onions. Everybody loves them, but nobody likes prepping them before cooking. And who would? These things love playing sad violin music every time you poke a knife into them. The worst thing isn’t the tears but rather, the stinging sensation that triggers them. Why did humans begin eating onions, anyway? Oh, yeah, they’re delicious.
If you don’t want to listen to sad onion music every time you prepare French onion soup, pop them in the freezer for a couple of hours before slicing into them. This somehow keeps the tear-inducing gases from floating around and stinging your eyes. We tried it, and it works!
