EVA, duidelijker gezegd: het Ethisch Vegetarisch Alternatief gaf deze link mee.
Eentje waarop ik spring, want ik schil en snipper uien onder lopend water om mijn gevoelige oogskes toch ietwat te ontzien.
En daarnaast : een gouden tip, die willen we delen met iedereen. Spread the word!



Lifehacker reader and foodie Ian Beyer offers a helpful tip for how to avoid onion-slicing-induced tears:

Using a knife, cut a cone out of the bottom of the onion (where the roots come out). The diameter of this cone should be about a third of the diameter of the onion, and about 1/3 deep. Take this piece and throw it away (don't put it down the disposal!). This piece contains the part/gland that makes baby Jesus and everyone else in the room cry when you're chopping it up. Once you've gotten that piece out, chop off the top, peel, and slice the onion.

Been doing it for years, and it works like a charm. You know your cone is too small if it doesn't work, because you've cut into that teargas grenade.
