You desperately need this, right – the ones who stay outside, all alone? Living away from home has its own ups and downs. It may look like Heaven on earth for some, but the ones who actually stay, know, what it is to live alone. The biggest tragedy always happens in the morning – what to cook? With due respect to good old Maggi, too much of it can’t be taken for long. You have to go to the kitchen, take out things and cook, and yes, on your own. Let’s see some of the kitchen tips which can make your mornings a little less bothersome:

12. Chill Onions and Say No to Tears

Enough of crying and being teary and making a mess of everything while chopping onions. You’ve abhorred this part of cooking, didn’t you? We agree. Chill the onions for a change. Bring them out and chop them, you’re never going to be teary ever with this. It’s high time you start loving your onions.

11. Keep your Knives Sharp

This is the foremost tip. Keep your knives and other cutting and chopping tools sharp with a capital S. If they are not sharp they are going to take away a straight 15 minutes more from your cooking time. Also keep different knives for veggies and spices. If you’ve haven’t had the time of taking their flavors off, they’re going to affect the smell each time.
