As well as giving really good recipe inspiration, TikTok is full of hacks to help make your cooking easier. The latest tip to go viral claims to stop your eyes from watering when you're chopping up an onion. Considering onions and garlic are pretty much the start of every good recipe, we need this.If you end up looking like a blubbering mess every time you attempt a pasta sauce or risotto recipe, TikTok user @cerealeatingghost claims to have a solution to stop your eyes watering around onions. No, it's not a metal spoon in the mouth or wearing swimming goggles, but rather leaving a wet paper towel on your chopping board. Apparently, the acid in onions is drawn towards a water source (aka your tear ducts) which is what makes your eyes water. By popping a damp paper towel nearby as you're prepping your onions, the theory suggests the acid will be drawn to that instead.A lot of users in the comments have been vouching for the tip, though some have said their eyes did sting a bit, but it did help with avoiding a full on crying moment.
