It’s strange, but true, I did see onion chopping eye goggles over at Williams Sonoma the other night. No, these were not swim goggles, but actual onion goggles, designed specifically to be used when dicing onions. Now I hear you all giggling and that’s exactly what I did when I saw them. Brace yourself, they sell for $20.00, but if they really work, isn’t it a small price to pay for years of tears-free onion dicing.
They look more like ski goggles than swim goggles, I would even dare say they are stylish. They could double as a pair of sunglasses. I see over at cookswarehouse.com they already have a backorder on these little babies, so you might want to head over to Williams Sonoma and grab a pair before they are all gone. Want to check them out at the source, head over to http://www.rsvp-intl.com/new_items.htm. They come in white, black, and pink (with a portion of the proceeds going to breast cancer initiatives). The picture above comes from the RSVP site. Interested in tear-free onions check them out.

I’ve been told,…although I’m not sure it works as I’ve tried,…but still have my share of tears,…that if you breath only through your mouth while chopping onions, that you won’t tear up,…anyone else hear that? Does it work for you?

I’ve also heard to hold a piece of bread in your mouth. I just chop chop chop quick as I can and cry anyways.
