Did you know.........?!

Question: When you put an onion in the Veggie drawer of the fridge and leave it overnight and you chop it into pieces the next day, your eyes won't burn or water???

Interesting huh?

I'm pretty sure that this is just because it's chilled ;) releases less moisture into the air which carry the chemicals from the onion meat into the air with them. Put an onion in the freezer and them smash it... see if your eyes water :P Don't think they will.

Yes. I've been working in restaurants for years and we've always done something similar. Restaurants peel their onions and refrigerate them overnight (uncovered). It makes it very easy if you spend all day chopping up onions.
