Science Fact Box

If you've ever helped your parents in the kitchen, you may have noticed that cutting onions make you cry. When you cut onions, a stinging gas is released and when it is in contact with your eyes, your body produces tears in defense. The tears dilute the irritant and help remove it from your eyes.

So if you're cutting onions and want to avoid being teary-eyed, try some of these tips:

1. Cut onions with a fan switched on. The breeze from the fan can disperse the gas to avoid it irritating your eyes (though it might irritate someone else instead!).

2. Use goggles!

3. Have a clean bowl of water ready. Once the onions are chopped, immediately put them into the water so the gases will not reach your eyes. You can also rinse them under running water.

Give it a go and remember, always inform your parents if you're doing stuff in the kitchen. Safety is important especially when using dangerous tools such as knives.
