Cutting an onion into slices is usually not an easy task, both because of the structure of the vegetable itself and because the gas emitted from it makes most of us cry quite quickly - but it turns out that there is a way to do it easily and with a minimum of tears.

Since it is a fairly simple trick, many of the surfers were enthusiastic about it - and some even declared that it changed their lives, nothing less and nothing more.
"You just changed my life," stated one commenter.
"It's genius," added another.
"29 years I have lived on this earth, and I ask myself why this idea did not cross my mind," wondered another commenter.
Despite the praise, some surfers were less enthusiastic about the idea, and expressed doubt as to whether the peeler is the most appropriate tool for cutting onions.
One of them wrote: "It is true that this is a very useful idea, but the peeler needs to be unusually sharp, so it is not such a good idea."
Another surfer wondered if regular peelers could be up to the task: "I've never had such a sharp vegetable peeler."
