As everyone knows Onions are used in almost any recipe. If you are anything like me you dread the teary eyes you get from cutting them and the smell that sticks with you for over a week on your hands. Well fear the onion no longer! Before you are ready to use the onion place it in the freezer or soak it in ice water for about 15-20 minutes....and Viola! No more teary eyes! Now to get that dreaded onion smell off your hands you can rub your wet hands on the inside of your stainless steel sink. If you do not have a stainless steel sink then you could use a steel bowl or any other stainless steel items you have laying around the house. Another good way to help eliminate the smell on your hands is to make a paste out of 1 tsp. of dishwasher detergent (cascade), 1 tsp. of ketchup and 1 tsp. of lemon juice.
These tips also work for garlic, chives, leeks and any other pungent veggies!
