I'm also badly affected by stinging watering eyes when peeling onions. The stinging continues for hours afterwards unless I use an eye bath to wash them. That's the only thing that works for me.

Peeling them under water in is OK but you can't chop it underwater can you?

I looked at the link and noticed a photo at the bottom of the page suggesting that holding a large chunk of bread in your mouth so it dangles out, will prevent the watering.

Now I have to try that one!

Here it is


I have a Tibetan recipe which begins with 1 large can of tomatoes  :o
put into a pan and simmer
lightly fry onions/garlic/chopped ginger
add to tomatoes
lightly salt
black pepper to taste
chilly powder

simmer until the mixture thickens this can take several hours
cool and store in fridge over night
serve cold with a meat platter ........... watch out for the bite  ;D

and yes they have tinned tomatoes in Nepal - I asked. CLKD

The best way I have found to do it with no tears is swimming goggles and a nose clip.
I used to work in catering and on occasions had to peel and chop pounds and pounds of the things. The only way to cope was the goggles and clip.

Works a treat......looks crazy but works  ;D

If you use a really good quality knife it is supposed to stop the watering eyes. We have Global knives, since we bought them not a tear has been shed. (Except over the price).
