RSVP International Onion Goggles, Fog Free Lenses, Safely Prepare Food Without Tears

Product Information

The onion was originally developed by the agricultural giant Bayer, but is now owned by the chemicals firm BASF, which acquired part of its seeds and crop business. It says Sunions are not genetically modified but the product of decades of cross-breeding of less pungent strains of onion. My choice for the best onion goggles: RSVP International Onion Goggles. Why are these the best onion goggles? Gadget Chef Onion Goggles advertise a lightweight fit and ergonomic construction. They claim to also protect your eyes from other kitchen irritants such as intense heat and smoke and to double as safety glasses. They come with a Gadget Chef microfiber pouch. Onion goggles may help patients who have dry eyes, says Dr. Darryl Glover, an optometrist, author and speaker. Dry eye syndrome can make your eyes feel gritty and irritated even when you’re not dealing with environmental irritants such as onion fumes. But having dry eyes can make a chore like chopping onions a whole lot more painful, Dr. Glover says.

I tested four brands of onion goggles and put them up against ordinary safety glasses and swim goggles to see if onion goggles do a better job at preventing onion tears than other protective eyewear. The bottom line: Just like the Gadget Chef onion goggles, these merely postponed the inevitable flood of tears. NoCry Protective Non-Vented Safety GogglesThese glasses also come in a cute box with the slogan: “For tear-free chopping, mincing, slicing and dicing.” The box features art of a man with an onion head wearing a pair of the goggles. The bottom line: These worked OK, and they’re the only onion chopping solution I found that’s glasses-friendly. Speedo Unisex Adult Swim Goggles Right out of the box, these onion goggles seemed higher quality than the other brands I tested. They have a layer of rubber in between the hard plastic of the glasses and the foam seal, which gives them a tighter fit around the eyes. You can’t wear onion goggles over glasses (at least none that I could find), and the RSVP International Onion Goggles even state this on the box. Haleems Onion Goggles come in eye-catching colors, and they claim to fit better than other onion goggles due to an adjustable strap that fits around your head. They arrived in a clear plastic bag.

The verdict: Onion goggles work OK — some better than others. They may make you look a little funny, but they do protect your eyes from getting hit head on with a cloud of onion gas. The bottom line: These delayed my sob-fest, but I was in tears by the time I finished chopping the onion. QHQ-Shininglifi Onion GogglesThey also have an “Onion Goggles” logo on the arms and would make a fun, useful gift for any self-professed home chef. Can you wear onion goggles over glasses? However, onion goggles could soon be obsolete thanks to Sunions, which Waitrose says are “perfect for those with sensitive eyes as well as cooking in the kitchen with children”. With the vegetable a staple of many dishes, Paul Bidwell, the supermarket’s onion buyer, said Sunions would be a versatile ingredient. The “sweetness of this type of onion lends itself perfectly to a variety of dishes, from salads to hot meals”, he said .
