Onions Recipe

Peel and slice onions under water to keep the volatile oil from the

eyes. A cup of vinegar boiling on the stove modifies the disagreeable

odor of onions cooking. Boil a frying pan in water with wood ashes,

potash, or soda in it to remove the odor and taste of onions. To rub

silver with lemon removes the onion taste from it. Leaves of parsley

eaten like cress with vinegar hide the odor of onions in the breath.

Onions to be eaten raw or cooked will lose their rank flavor if they are

pulled and thrown into salt water an hour before use. Two waters in

boiling accomplish the same purpose.
