Bag of Onions (8-10)

Candle

Knife (sharp & dulled)

Cutting board

Vinegar

Refrigerator

Goggles

Slice of white bread

Objective:

What is the most effective method to cut an onion and stay tear-free?

Hypothesis:

I think cutting a onion will still make you cry even if you do something.

Procedure:

Place 1 onion in the refrigerator. We will use this later in our experiment.

Using a dulled kitchen knife dice the onion. Using a dulled knife will be the control.

Subjectively describe your tear production and record.

Wait an hour before proceeding. This will allow time for your eyes to recover.

Using a sharpened kitchen knife dice the onion.

How does tear production compare to the control condition?

Continue cutting the onion using the following methods, waiting an hour between each trial.

a. Spray or coat the cutting board with vinegar and dice the onion.

b. Take the onion out of the refrigerator and ensure the onion is chilled. Dice the onion.

c. Put on a pair of airtight goggles such as swimming goggles. Dice the onion.

d. Light a candle or turn on a gas burner. Dice the onion.

e. Take a slice of white bread and bite on it so it hangs out of your mouth. Dice the onion.

f. Cutting method: Cut the top of the onion (stem portion) off and slice towards the root but do not cut the root.

g. Fill your kitchen sink of a large basin with water approximately 6" in depth. Submerge your cutting board and onion and cut the onion under water.

Analysis: I found out that cutting the onions in water was the best way because the water sucks the toxics in.

Conclusion:

The best way is to cut the onions under water.
