Apparently THIS Is The Way To Cut Onions Without Crying.
Chopping onions is not a pleasant experience. In fact, it easily rates among the top most awful food prep jobs you may ever have to do in the kitchen. Lots of onions are very strong and some can be so potent they overpower you, making your eyes burn and start to water. With the combination of blurry eyes and a sharp knife your cozy night in making a simple homemade dinner can quickly turn into a kitchen nightmare…and give you a real reason to cry..
While the stinging sensation is extremely uncomfortable, it’s also completely avoidable. In the accompanying video YouTube’s Jack Scalfani of the ‘Cooking With Jack Show’ demonstrates a simple trick to cutting an onion without crying. The secret is to remove the bulb part first before you start slicing and dicing because it contains all of the gases that make our eyes burn and water. It’s important that you don’t cut into this bulb portion so do your best to remove it completely in-tact. Check the clip out to see exactly how it’s done and try it out!
To start, place the onion root-side up on the chopping board so that you’re looking right down at the scraggly roots. Take a paring knife and slowly insert it down into the root end about half an inch or so out from the center. Move it all the way around the root base in a circle and cut on a slight angle so that you end up with a cone-shaped piece. When you’re done cutting out the circle you should be able to easily remove the bulb and can discard it. At this point you can peel the dry, papery brown layers of skin off the onion and cut it up as you normally would.
This onion cutting method is effective and easy to do. Plus, it’s guaranteed to make life a little more easy and comfortable, so the next time you find yourself face to face with an onion that needs chopping, remember and try it out. You won’t shed a single tear!

Her Daughter Had A Fever That Wouldn’t Go Away. But After She Put THIS In Her Sock And The Fever Broke!

Onions may bring tears to your eyes but the slight, brief pain they cause is easily outweighed by the fact that they can also help fight against sickness and disease. The common bulbous vegetables are grown all over the globe and have been used in many different ways by various cultures.
Other than being edible and added to dishes to increase flavor, some people pickle and store them while others use half of one to clean BBQ grills, and some people even place them in socks at night to help their body heal. You read that last part correct; onions can help fight colds, fevers, and flu-like symptoms.
One mother found out about the healing properties of onions and decided to give them a try when her young daughter came down with a nasty fever. The little girl named Riley had been sick and was suffering from body aches, a headache, sore throat, and she’d developed a fever of 104 degrees.
Her mother was worried and desperately wanted to bring her baby’s fever down and make her feel better, but she didn’t want to go to the hospital just yet. That’s when her mother recommended that she try putting onions in Riley’s socks, which she promptly did.
The next day her daughter woke up and told her that she felt much better, her fever was gone and she was soon back to normal. The onions in her socks are what her mother credits for her sudden turn around and once you know the reasons why you’ll be trying this yourself!
The practice of placing onions on people’s feet can be traced back to ancient Chinese medicine. The Chinese determined that there are thousands of nerve endings on the bottom of feet which act like access points to internal organs and are closely linked with our nervous systems.
When a cut onion is placed on the underside of the foot it kills germs and bacteria because onions naturally have strong anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties. The phosphoric acid, the stuff that’s responsible for making you cry, enters into the bloodstream and helps purify the blood all over your body.
In turn, you become healthier and your improved body is better prepared to fight off infections and inflammation.
Many people have tried this alternative method and claim that it has worked wonders for them.
The positive response is encouraging, and with no apparent negative side effects, it seems like the onion theory could be beneficial to many people out there. Here is how you can try it at home:
Take an onion, red or white- they both work, and cut it into flat slices so they can be easily applied to the bottom of your feet. Pull on a pair of socks over the onions to keep them in place overnight and lay back and fall asleep. When you wake up remove the socks and discard the onions.
It’s that simple. As you dream the onion will seep in through your skin and work to purify blood and absorb toxins. If you’re worried about having a stinky smelling room or feet after this, don’t be. The onion’s natural properties also help purify the air in a room and since it kills bacteria it eliminates the main factor that causes foul smelling feet and gets rid of foot odor.
Putting onions in your socks at night may be just the right thing your body needs. It’s cheap, all natural, and can be done in the comfort of your own home. Give it a try and see if it works. Pass this information with loved ones, they may find it extremely useful and benefit from it as well!

This Woman Places 4 Pounds of Onions In a Crock Pot Then Adds Butter. When She’s Done YUM!
There’s a million different ways to eat an onion, from raw to sauteed or fried. However, one of the most popular and tastiest types is hands down caramelized onions. When onions are caramelized they become tender and brown up. They also take on a deliciously smooth flavor that’s sweet, but not too sweet that it’s overpowering, and lose the bitter taste that they’re commonly associated with.
Caramelizing is a cooking method in which a food is slowly cooked over low heat to allow for the natural sugars in it to change and turn into caramel. These properties are what makes this onion recipe the perfect thing to toss in the crock pot and cook up. It’s the easiest way to make a huge batch of caramelized onions that are both affordable and delicious.
The video shows everything you’ll need to know about perfecting this recipe and the following is a list of all the ingredients that it calls for:
4 pounds of yellow onions
½ cup unsalted butter
Salt and pepper
How to prepare the ingredients:
1) Slice up all the onions and cut the butter into small pieces 2) Place the onions and the butter in a crock pot and place the lid on the pot 3) Cook on low for 8 hours 4) Uncover, stir, and season them with salt and pepper 5) Cook on low for about 2 more hours or until most of the juice cooks off
When you’re done cooking you can either eat and enjoy the onions immediately or store them in the freezer for later. It’s likely you’ll end up with a lot of leftovers and if you choose to freeze them they last up to six months in the freezer.
These pair well with a range of other foods and meals. A classic American tradition is topping off hamburgers and hot dogs with them and many people also like them served with steak. Another option is to toss a bunch of the sweet and savory onions into a stir fry to kick the flavor level up a notch. There you have it, now you won’t ever have to go without caramelized onions ever again!
