If you don't wear glasses just reach for your sunglasses when cutting onions. :)

Here's a tip: To keep potatoes longer, put an apple in with them and keep them in the bag. The onion fumes make potatoes sprout but apple fumes prevent them from sprouting. I've done this for years.

To for keeping celery and carrots: Wash them and keep them in a bowl of water in the refrigerator. Change the water every other day. They'll keep for two weeks.

A quicker way is to cut the onion is to put it in a bowl of water

Just cut the center of the onion out- this part make u cry.

Easy and convenient way is just cut the onion into 4 equal parts length wise. just pick one qtr. part and peel and cut into pieces and just cover it with a lid. You can place it in the corner of the cutting board with a lid placed on cut onions, like this you can cut easily. Even if you wear glasses it wont work from burning eyes.

A few easier ways are:

1) When you have finished peeling the skin of the onion, cut it in half and soak in water for about 5 seconds. This will dissolve the fumes and no more tears!!

2) Always keep the root on till the end. The minute you remove the roots, the fumes rise up and irritate your eyes!

Both ways work, I've been using both methods and they aren't too laborious either! No more tears!! :D
