The only thing that really works for me is steam -- and plenty of it.
I keep a pot of boiling water or a kettle on the boil nearby whenever
I'm chopping onions to give my eyes a nice little steam bath while I'm
cutting. This is one of the earliest cooking lessons I learned when I
was a child and it's worked ever since. Does anybody else do this?
Thanks for all the great recipes and tips!
