It's not even Some Gizmo, it's a vegetable peeler. Just use a dang knife if you don't even care about the shape like that.

I think that channel had a weird one about ambidextrous peelers where they said the swivel was so you could peel up and down as opposed to just down a carrot but that just makes it so you get peels everywhere

Here we go https://twitter.com/todayyearsoldig/status/1690045801979125760?t=A-WFK2fFBszW7Sk6JcZ0NA&s=1 The amount of control they're needing to us vs just going down the potato removes all the time savings

Because there is some automatic consistency with a peeler. Not so much with a random kid especially from someone who doesn't care for their knives or have any skill

That's a good way to get your hand grated. They are double-sided so they last longer and so you can swap hands. No stupid video will convince me otherwise.

Kwyndig posted:I thought the problem with cutting onions was the crying part, they cut fairly easily. Using some gizmo to cut your onions doesn't change the fact that you're still cutting onions. Eye irritation from onions comes from trying to cut them with a dull blade, so this is probably several times worse for that unless you're one of the vanishingly small number of people that bothers to periodically sharpen their vegetable peeler.

moist turtleneck posted:Here we go I used to peel at minimum 7 pounds of carrots a day, that doesn't sound like much but most carrots are like 3 ounces so yeah it adds up quick. It's absolutely faster to just go up and down, assuming you're doing it over a large trashcan and it doesn't matter where the peels land.

To be clear, in a restaurant setting speed is more important than whatever minimal amount of usable carrot I might have peeled And thrown away, at home I just peel in one direction because I'm peeling like 4 carrots at a time max.

FWIW, after 8 years in the kitchen I have zero peeler injuries, mostly because I’ve always used a Y peeler and keep my fingertips tucked. However, the heel of the palm and corner of the index finger on my right hand are permanently blunted because I refuse to use a guard on the mando. In conclusion, E: a Y peeler, if you don’t know what I’m talking about :

The best way to cut onions is to mash them using the side of your knife like you would garlic cloves.

Option 1: get the knife and onion wet first the water will keep the airborne particles from irritating Option 2: work in restaurants for years and develop immunity. This can also replace oven mitts for many purposes.

I googled HSD and that sounds right, although it's mild marfans for me. I'm lucky I do seem to be able to eat garlic, but even if my stomach has settled down and might accept onions, I can never go back. Raw onions were the worst, they'd make me sweat the smell of them for days. Makes being veggie and dining out kinda difficult, though. Bloody everything is cheese and onion.

Warbird posted:Is the onions thing genetic? I’ve never had issues with them. Instead the strength of the resulting gas depends on how much precursor is available in the onion which is linked to variety and source; it is generally associated with naturally pungent onions which have found a lot of sulfur from the environment. And with technique and equipment; the reaction requires thorough mixing of two chemicals present in the onion which does not happen as readily if you have a sharp knife and make clean cuts or chill the onion to reduce volatility and reaction rate.

Onions are a guaranteed heartburn for me, but I still love them. Helps that it's not very intense and highly dependent on what else I consumed that day so I'll manage by just having a glass of milk before bed. Maybe two over the day if it starts up early. Typically though it's so mild that it's more of a precaution so I don't get caught off guard by surprise heartburn while trying to sleep. Definitely worth it though because onions are fantastic.

drat. There aren't many meals I make that don't have onion in them. And I cook at least five time a week. My wife went on the fodmap thing for a while, but it turned out to be fiber that riled her ibs. I was very relieved!

Yeah, her doctor kept telling her to eat more fiber for constipation, and she kept getting worse. Slowed down the fiber consumption and her symptoms eased. Any time she has something high in fiber she has a flare-up. Unlike standard IBS, she has IBS-C. Bodies are weird.

This is perfect for the PYF Lifehack thread, (anecdotal evidence of a thing only tangentially related to your issue that will probably not help) but for a while one of my family members couldn't stomach regular (raw) onions despite loving them, in like cucumber salad/greek salad/sandwiches/etc. While chatting with one of my customers at work, she mentioned you can take a lot of heat out of raw onion if you slice it up like you normally would, separate the individual slices out a bit, and toss it in a strainer under some cold water. It will literally make the normal bite/kick/heat they have a lot milder, or non-existant This will, of course, 1. make them seem sweeter because there will be less kick, 2. might not do jack poo poo if cooked onions also give you heartburn, and 3. might not do anything at all anyway because there's no guarantee this advice does anything but rinse off the same irritant that makes your eyes water. But it did work for our stomach problem-haver!
