Wear ‘Onion Goggles’ for tear-free chopping
August 27, 2008
Eddingtons’, the Cookware Maker, has come to every tear-shedding onion-choppers’ aid. They have invented a pair of ‘onion goggles’ that can offer “tear-free chopping” for chefs finding the onion cutting experience a ‘crying- ordeal’.
The swimming goggle-style glasses fit closely over the eyes to keep the irritant onion vapours at bay. The goggles comprise of a foam seal that protects eyes from the “irritating onion vapors” and an anti-fog coating on its lenses that provides “maximum clarity and eye protection”. They are available in plain white or a stylish pale pink.
The goggles weigh 6 kilos. They come in an easy to carry see-through storage case. The only snag is that the goggles do not seem to be that much useful for visually impaired cooks because they ‘do not work over the top of spectacles.’
Former BBC Masterchef winner Gerry Goldwyre, who now runs a private dining restaurant in Eskbank, welcomes the invention, saying:
“My eyes suffer terribly- every time I chop onions, I look like a Scot coming out of Murrayfield after a beating by England. I have tried all of the old wives tales to no effect. If they have finally nailed the problem with this invention, I would be very impressed,”
