As an ex professional cook I never used this technique myself because of the potential for cross-contamination but my dad swears by it. Holding a piece of bread in your mouth while chopping onions apparently does the trick. My whole family learns this.

I have a trick for not crying when cutting onions, and it's ridiculously simple for how well it works. Simply wet the onion and knife before chopping it, if you chop a lot of onions, keep the onions you've already cut in an airtight container while you're at it.

Guga I love you brother, I watch all your videos and have learned so much ,I cook a lot but I don't have the kind of facilities that you have your amazing! Keep up the amazing food videos😊

When cutting onions, make sure the board you cut them on is slightly wet with water. Onions have effect on moisture, so if the moisture is down with them, it will go to that instead of your eyes. Works for me every time, just keep the board moist.

Regarding tears related to slicing and chopping onions. I learned this technique from a friend, French, who was the chef of a large catering venue and restaurant in the Bay Area. As they sometimes used up to five hundred pounds of onions in a week, think French onion and other classic soups, they prepped their oinions as follows. First, all the onions had the skins removed, topped and tailed. Next, they went into 5 gallon buckets. Lastly, into the walk-in until ready for use. ALWAYS, use a sharp knife with onions. I practiced this throughout my professional career. No more tears except those of joy, from my line cooks and prep guys, when slicing quantities of onions. Blessings, chefmike

Swimming goggles works nicely when cutting onions

.. in cutting onions, what works for me is just to have a small bowl of water near the chopping board. Water helps absorb the fumes or vapor of the onions when its being cut instead of it going to your eyes. A simple trick that works for me. I don't know if it will work for you, but it's so simple it's worth a try.

So dumb… thats not a burger at all. And you could do that on a skillet

I feel like this turned into a Guga infomercial for his products

Guga thanks for highlighting this legend

A trick I found that really works with onions is to spritz the onion with water. The fumes extracted from the onion is attracted to moisture so it clings to your eyes which contain a lot of moisture. By spritzing it with water the fumes will cling to that water on top of the onions

He said “two burgers 🍔 that are on the menu, I believe are primary source burgers” He didn’t say his restaurant has only 2 burgers on the menu! I forgive you Guga, the guy said it pretty fast.

I already got Gugas tools and I gotta say I was pleasantly surprised by the quality!

Im sorry guga, but the major trick to onions is two fold and one you don't agree with.... A sharp knife. And I mean a knife that's hines at least every 2nd or 3rd time you use is and is ONLY used on soft veggies like tomatoes or onions. The second trick is a small bottle of plain water that you can mist over the cutting board. So an onion makes you cry because as you cut it, you squeeze and crush the onion cells, popping them like pimples. They then release sulfur in aerosolized atoms into the air. The super sharp knife makes if so you cut between more cells rather than crushing more cells, and for the number of cells that are inevitably crushed, you spray the super fine mist of water which then binds with the aerosolized sulfur and brings it back down to the counter before it hits your eyes

Biggest regret of getting my eyes lasered, is losing the super power of being able to cut onions without crying.

George is awesome, as is his new place. Definitely make it to NYC and check it out!

The contacts thing for onions is absolutely true. I was always put on onions because I was the only one that wears contacts in the kitchen.

tried? no no no, if he schooled you, thats set in stone, thats fact

I would love to see a George and Guga collaboration! That would be fantastic! Somebody make this happen!

Love your videos! You should try Cooper’s sharp American cheese! It is delicious!!!!

Awesome promo video Guga!

Guga, The best way to cut onions without crying is to leave the root end together. Cut the top of the onion, remove the first layer or two of onion. Then if you are dicing it cut the onion in half from root end to top of onion, then dice as normal but leave the root end intact. If you are using a mandolin to thinly slice for Oklahoma onion burgers after you remove the outer layer you are ready to slice from where you cut the top off. You'll be making really thin onion "rings" which cook fast, caramelize easily, and disintegrate into flavor.

you will still run into very pungent onions that can make you tear up from time to time, but this has been the best way for me to cut onions.

2:39 The best remedy for crying when you cut onions is to inoculate yourself against those pungent compounds by cutting so many onions you become immune to them. Working as a prep cook and friterier who had to slice dozens and dozens of onions every day gave me this superpower.

George Mots is the king of Burgers. He single handedly brought back the fried onion burger from obscurity. During the pandemic he sold them out of his home. He’s done hours of First We Feast content. Plus he just seems like a decent bloke. 12/10 would follow him to the ends of the earth.

For the onions a really sharp Japanese style knife (they are thinner) absolutely helps a lot

Never thought I'd see Wolverine own a burger shack, but I'm here for it.

Also, yes, it's called a Patty Melt , but the one @georgemotz1503, George Motz is talking about is called the Chester Rouer. Minus cooking it in beef tallow or broth.

Well the best way not to cry while cutting onions ist just not to cry. Easy.

6:52 Sorry Guga, it's called The Chester

The "aromatics" from the onion is attracted to water. The closest available source, when cutting onions, will be the eyes. Try placing a cup of water next to the onion. Works for me.

"I got schooled by the Burger GOAT!" - half of the video is about guga's merch

Newer chef here: I never cry when cutting onions. Some say it’s a gift, but in reality I’m just dead inside. The trick is to not form an emotional attachment to the onions ;). ( jokes aside the best tip I can give is to leave the root in-tact and use a sharp knife, lol )

Not to take away from your pitch, your kit is EXCELLENT and great value for money That said, "The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' 1997 Food Code, Section 4-101.15 Galvanized Metal, Use Limitation, reads: "Galvanized metal may not be used for utensils or food contact surfaces of equipment that are used in contact with acidic food" [emphasis added]. Therefore, in accordance with the 1997 Food Code, the use of galvanized steel in contact with meat and nonacidic fruits and vegetables is acceptable. Additionally, the US. Department of Agriculture states, Chrome, nickel, tin, and zinc (galvanization) platings will generally be acceptable for most appropriate applications" (Accepted Meat and Poultry Equipment, Food Safety and Inspection Service Directive 11220.1)." ... but they do make carbon steel and stainless steel paint scrapers (non-galvanized) that you can pick up locally if you're worried about such things

Someone explained the other day that having a very sharp knife helps, because if you use a dull knife, you are mushing and breaking apart those lachrimose chemicals in the onion.

A trick I learned from a finnish KZread chef for the onions; take a shot glass and fill it with vodka. Down the shot and start cutting. Does absolutely nothing to the crying but you wont be nearly as annoyed.

Hi Gura, After 58 years I finally found a burger I like… Your smash burger! American cheese is an absolute MUST! But I had a few small problems 😞 My stove is to tall (or I’m to short haha😂) so I couldn’t give it enough smash. But I think I can use a small stool to correct that! Then my spatula is not wide enough! 😮 Just have to do it the old fashioned way because I haven’t found a wide one we’re I live yet! I just looked for your smash burger kit at Walmart but I live in Costa Rica but they don’t have them! I guess you’re not internationally yet? Hopefully someday they will come to their senses and bring your amazing inventions to the rest of the world! Thanks for your great work, time and effort!

I've found the best way to avoid crying when slicing onions is to get someone else to slice them for you.

It looks like a patty melt, but it’s called a “Chester.”

Guga, an old trick I learnt, and still dont know why it works, with chopping onions is to run cold tap water over your wrists when your eyes start burning. Not the back of your wrists but the other side (where the veins are, palm side up). After a 10 or so seconds the burning stops. Must be something related to our nervous system. But it definitely works in quickly easing the pain.

If I'm chopping alot of onions, I'll place the cutting board under running water (slow running) and the onion under the water stream and start cutting. It stops the sulfur compounds from getting airborne and making you cry, I've also had some luck just putting water in my mouth and holding it while cutting though I'm not really sure why this one seems to work (sort of).

I’d imagine a simple pair of chemistry goggles would prevent the onion smell from making you tear up.

Hey Guga, I used to work in a Subway and we processed a lot of onions what we used to do was keep them in the refrigerator and then we would slice them cold and you do not and will not cry

That's not a patty melt, that's a Chester.

THe best way to stop from crying while cutting onions is to get a damp towel or paper towel and lay it out near the onions as your cutting it. I heard that the compounds in the onion are drawn towards the moisture in the towel and no crying. Not sure if thats what happens but it works 100%.

It sounds weird but when processing onions, or using any chemical that makes your eyes sting and start to water (bleach, etc.), if you stick your head in the freezer for a few seconds it will neutralize the burn in your eyes. It works best in a deep freezer/ walk-in cooler, but it will also work just sticking your head in your kitchen freezer for a second. Not sure why this works, but it's a trick I have used and taught people to use for years in restaurants and it works every time.

I've been chopping onions since I was 5, and my family uses a lot of onions. In almost everything we cook. And it's very rare that I tear up from onions. So extensive exposure.

with swimming glasses you won't cry whatsoever by onion, GUARANTEED!!!

I’ve found that putting onions in the freezer for 20-30 min prior to chopping drastically reduces tears.

A good tip that I’ve used was getting a couple of thick paper towels, wet em, and put one under the cutting board, and the rest near by the cutting board

Yup no crying with my contacts. 😂

Gugas Love your show

Guga you need to feed the guys Australian burgers, Our basic Burger is, lettuce, tomato, beetroot, meat patty, fried onions with tomato or BBQ sauce. Or you can go the lot, with bacon, cheese, fried egg and pineapple slice. Best served with a side of chips aka thick cut fries with chicken salt

Cut them outside with a small fan blowing across the onions. The diner griddles have a thermostat on them. Lawry's has MSG in it. It is made by McCormick now.

I found the best way to not cry when cutting onions is to not hold your damn head over the onions, always worked for me

Put the onion in the freezer for 15 min before cutting it. That usually does the trick. If that's not enough, not standing directly above your cutting board helps too.

If your tears during onion cutting is really bad, dip the onions in ice cold water for even 15 seconds after peeling them. It'll dissolve some of the amino acids that cause the tears

Unfortunately, Guga's tools are not in the Walmarts near me in Canada. I think they are only stocking them in the States.

What I find works for me when cutting onions is blowing a little stream of air almost like you're blowing out a candle but not so forceful, maybe more like you're blowing on coals to get them to light. Straight out from your face, not directed at the onion.

I tried smash burgers for the first time last weekend and you do not need wax paper and the circle press. The way George does it is honestly very easy and not even slightly difficult. You don't really need any practice. It's very easy and a great method.

This video made me hungry Guga.

I know this one, due to a surgery I had... You eye detects it's moisture levels through the cornea. In my case my corneas had to be removed and then grow back... yes it hurts... but until they grew back my eyes were absolutely incapable of making tears. So I had to wear hard contacts, use eyedrops religiously, and had a paste to keep my eyes from drying out while I slept. So... yes, contacts can preserve the moisture on your cornea and prevent you from tearing up.

Hey Guga, have you ever tried putting the onions in the fridge long enough to cool them down to fridge temp before cutting? Don’t get me wrong, I am NOT saying to store the onions there by any means. Just cool them. Heck, the freezer would work faster for that matter, but don’t let them freeze. This does seem to help with the eyes tearing. I don’t know why. Try it. Let me know!

Rinse your hands under cold water and you shouldn’t need to touch your eyes. As soon as I start feeling it I’ll rinse my hands and my almost tears will disappear. This works for me and has worked for 15 plus years now.
