Hi Patti, how are you? Currently weeping as I cook my potatoes and onions
Anyone else struggle cooking onions as much as me?

 

[Miss Lydia]

It usually doesn't bother me cooking them but getting them ready to cook now that gets the tears flowing. Sure sounds yummy though

Yep I wear goggles if I'm doing a big batch of something, otherwise I look like a hot mess lol

Good morning / evening folks

My first job at a restaurant was to peel and slice 100 lbs of onions. I was a total mess by the time I was done, but after that, they don't bother me anymore.

Wow Bob, That was a lot of onions. You got immune fast.

Good Morning/Evening

I think it was some kind of initiation that the kitchen staff did for new folks. A few weeks later the head cook told me that about 80% of new folks quit before they get through the second bag.

 

[Miss Lydia]

I bet. That was not nice to do that to newbies.

My SIL taught me to put onions in the fridge to store, so when its time to cut, they don't seem to release the tear causing aroma.

I wonder if type of onion has anything to do with it as well. I always store my onions in the fridge but have the same issue.
