Gizmos for Cooks

That’s what I do every time I chop onions.  I’m not sure if I have really sensitive eyes or the onions from my local grocery store are just that potent.  Whatever the case, I tear up as soon as I’ve peeled away the skin and get the knife through the first layer of the pungent bulb.  But there may be an answer to my dilemma — Onion Goggles from Sur La Table.  Made of plastic and featuring a comfortable foam seal, these shades are designed to protect your peepers from onion vapors and allow you to get through your vegetable prep with ease.  They even have anti-fog lenses.  And because they come in both pink/white and green/black, they’re perfect for every cook in the house.
