of the kitchen, before proceeding with the rest of the onion.

an efficient way of dicing onions which conveniently keeps the most of the exposed cuts against the board.
4. Chill the onions.

Frozen raw onions are often mushy when they thaw. 5. Run the vent hood. Position your cutting board next to the stove and turn on the exhaust fan. Irritants will be pulled away from you and your eyes. Still having problems? Buy a cheap set of safety goggles from the hardware store, the only method guaranteed to fully work.
