If you’re looking for a way to keep your eyes from watering when chopping onions, then you’re in the right place. This ingenious trick from Smart Fox on Youtube lets you cut your onions without your eyes stinging. I always do this trick when I prep in the kitchen, and it does work like magic. Try this trick today and see for yourself.

Materials:

  • tea light (or any candle)

Directions:

Step 1

Take a tea light (or any candle) and light it up. Place it right next to the onion you want to cut. If the candle is lit while you chop the onion, your eyes should no longer tear up.
