An Onion Hint
Dear Aunt Daisy, I would like to add my little quota to the helpful-hints sent in by our Daisy Chain, so here is something I have proved to. be good. The unpleasant effect which onions often have upon one after eating can be escaped in this way. As you peel them, put them straight into a basin of water containing a little baking soda-about a teaspoonful to a quart of water. Leave them in this for twenty minutes before boiling or frying them. Quite simple, isn’t it? It just means preparing them a bit earlier than usual.-‘ Know Your Onions" (Wellington). Well, that is very interesting. I’ve heard, too, that one should always pour boiling water over onions before cooking them, and after they are sliced up; or even to boil them for a few minutes and drain them well.
