Kap, if you keep your onions in the fridge there's no smell and you won't cry when slicing. If you're referring to standard green peppers, I keep those in the fridge too.
If you don't like the smell that lingers on your hands after chopping onions you can wash and rub them with lemon juice/lemon wedge or rub your hands on a stainless steel sink or utensil to get the smell out. YMMV.
Good tips there, Jack. Regarding the peppers, I was talking about the spicy ones, i.e. Thai peppers, jalapenos, etc.
Ok. Can I find a good set of knives for $60? Nothing fancy as I am a beginner's cook. I just need the basic set.
