    This tip carries over from my years as a professional cook, in which most kitchens go through vast quantities of onions. We'd have huge buckets of peeled onions always at the ready. Because onions make an appearance in most of my home cooking, I typically peel three to four onions and store in the refrigerator, ready to grab and use. I find that onions peeled and chilled do not bring tears to my eyes. Try it. If you use a lot of onions, it's a time-saver as well.

      @@JuliaB1955 Usually plastic storage containers, or sometimes in one of my stainless steel bowls. Whatever is handy. As to how long they last, I go through onions pretty fast because there are very few things I make that don't have onions lol. But I'm guessing they last a week at least. If you see that they might not last before you can use them up you can always chop them and put them in the freezer.

    I love buttered noodles and I make them all the time. So curious about this recipe; it seems so out there.
    Also I love how the hostess of this show carries and presents herself. I’ve seen one or two of her videos before and she’s not too low energy, not too high energy. Also I like her style! To me she really looks like Asa Taccone, lead singer of one of my favorite bands Electric Guest (which is a compliment). Anyway that’s unrelated; I enjoyed this video.

    Made the onion butter pasta dish and it was as delicious as you described. I saw the video yesterday and wanted to make it almost immediately. You have a knack for describing exactly what needs to be done and why. I was a little put off by the amount of butter and salt used and used less. Didn’t have salted butter, used unsalted. Surprise! Needed to add salt at the end. My 2 added ins were stir fried mushrooms and cubed tofu.
    Loved the final result.
    Next time I’ll try one of the other ways described. Thanks

    Cold onions slows down the enzymes that get the lacrimator compounds going. A sharp knife decreases how much crush damage you do to the cells. And then on top of that, I chop on/next to my stovetop with the vent fan on high. Never any tears.

  • @sarasaveljpredin6433
    @sarasaveljpredin6433 2 года назад +3

    The trick is, you put wet paper towel on cutting board while you're cutting the onions. The acid in the onions is attracted to water which is usually in your tear ducts, putting a wet towel on the board makes it go to that instead.

    So I haven’t tried this with a cutting board, but at work we use a meat slicer to cut onions and having a wet towel on it attracts all the onion juice and you don’t or barely cry. Maybe if you slice and put on a damp paper towel it will do the same thing.

    It's so cool you've included this recipe! I make it occasionally with some minor changes. I use white onions, they have more delicate taste and texture. Also I cook my pasta right in the pan with onions, risotto-style. In this case pasta has to be broken in half, cuz it certainly won't fit it. Nevertheless, this recipe is very delicious and extraordinary: the fact it's basically one ingredient is mind-blowing.
    Tip for cutting onions tear-free: try to breathe through your mouth while doing it. Partially we cry because fumes come in our noses, this helps me a lot.

    Great dish! I like how you add the cubed butter 🧈 at the end.
    What I’ve realized from cooking pasta all these years is that, to get it sufficiently “salty” and flavourful the traditional way, you would need to add A LOT of salt to the water during the cooking process for the pasta to be “tasty.” And that’s just wasteful.
    I cook the pasta with zero salt in the water. None.
    Then I remove the pasta from the water, and immediately add cubed COLD butter to the pasta and thoroughly mix the butter into the pasta, and let the butter 🧈 melt with the heat of the pasta.
    Then I slowly add salt 🧂 to taste, and mix it in. This will give you flavorful tasty noodles without wasting too much salt.
    Genius recipe?? I think so.
