00:00Chopping onions making you cry?
00:02Chill them first.
00:03The tears will stop.
00:11Onions release a gas called syn-propanthecil S-oxide when cut.
00:15It floats up and irritates your eyes, so your tear glands flush it out.
00:26Chilling the onion for 30 minutes slows the enzymes that create this gas.
00:31Less gas, fewer tears.
00:39Two more tricks.
00:40Use your sharpest knife.
00:42Clean cuts release less gas.
00:43And cut under running water to wash the gas away.
00:53Which trick are you trying first?
