I have a pair of these in the kitchen and *love* them. With some onions, my eyes sting and water so badly that I can't open them enough to see what I'm doing. I've tried all sorts of suggestions: hold a piece of bread in the mouth (doesn't help me), freeze the onion (too impatient), keep the knife wet (no help), etc.

A concerned friend sent them to me and I keep them in the root vegetable basket. They work like a charm on onions, shallots, the works.

Ze goggles! Zey do somesing!
