This is the correct answer. It’s cause people use crappy dull knives that it squeezes the onion before actually cutting through causing the onion juice to spray out. A sharp nice slides right through and doesn’t have this problem.

Not only is the technic terrible, that blade looks super dull based on the pressure and nothing is more dangerous than a dull blade when cutting.

u/LLittle1994 May 27 '22
The thing is too, the membranes in the onions are what cause that stingy feeling. If you have a dull knife, you’re just smashing the membranes and releasing more of that compound from the onion. If you use sharp knife, you cut clean through the membranes, making it less likely to release more of that compound into the air.

Nah, my cat's terrified of the kitchen. As a baby, he always thought it was scary because he couldn't see on the counters and felt like a predator could pounce down on him. Any time he had to go in the kitchen, he'd sprint through it and try to hide under the step stool.
Because he's not very bright, he spent a good year unaware he'd actually gotten big enough to hop on the counter at all. Then the first time he ever got brave enough to jump on the counter, I immediately squirted him with water from the sink. The second time he tried to get on the counter, he jumped up and landed on a kitchen towel, which slipped off and dumped him on the ground. This has permanently made him think the kitchen is a creepy, dangerous place, filled with mysterious ledges, sliding surfaces, and random watersprouts.
So...uh...I guess if you get them young and traumatize them a bit, you can keep them off counters?
