In the caption, Chef Goila confirms that this is the method that keeps professionals like him going in the kitchen, especially when they have to chop around a hundred kilograms of onions in a day. However, Chef Goila also adds the disclaimer that the hack might not be foolproof, but that this is simply what he prefers to do.

What is the hack you ask? This is what Chef Goila does in his Instagram Reels. He suggests keeping the peeled onions inside the freezer for 10 minutes before you go at them with your knife. If you keep them in the refrigerator instead, wait for 30 minutes. Now, when you actually get to slicing or chopping it, the trick is to not chop the root end of the onion. Instead, slice or chop around the root end and throw the root away.

Alternatively, in the caption, Chef Goila adds that soaking the peeled onions in cold water before chopping them also does the trick, however, he personally prefers putting them inside the freezer. That’s it. That’s the hack. So simple, right? Next time, if we have to slice onions for a dish, we know who to thank for sparing us the waterworks. (Hint: Chef Goila)
