Janice asked:
Most of my favorite veggie recipes call for cutting up onions, and I
have=
never found a way to do it without copious tears. I cry so much I'm a
menace with a knife in my hands. Has anyone found a way around this?
Sure. There are many methods I've heard of, but I've found a sure fire way:
I started buying frozen onions already chopped. My grocers also has fresh
onions already chopped, but I love the convenience of the frozen. I suspect
it is more expensive, but at least this way I'll cook.
My other favorite technique is less elegant: I have a little Cuisinart
mini-chop that is really easy to clean. I just through chunks of onion in
there and turn it on. It isn't as pretty a chop, but it saves my eyes.
