You can minimize stinging, onion tears by ensuring your knife is professionally sharpened. A dull knife crushes the onion, which releases the irritating enzyme that makes our eyes sting. With a sharp knife, that release of enzymes is minimized, but ONLY if it’s a truly sharp blade. Bring your knives to House of Knives to get them sharpened up to standard!
