  • a much easier way to avoid crying is to not cut the root end off until the very end, because that is where most of the gasses are stored. works every time :)

  • I had no idea how many videos there are about choppin onions. O.o ----->

    lol.

  • Chewing gum (real gum) works perfectly at preventing the sting.

  • I just try not to blink when I'm cutting an onion and I'm fine. If I blink a lot that's when it starts to sting.

  • I've also heard (never tried though) is to light a candle when you're cutting an onion...and that will help with the crying issue. As I said, I've never tried it; but interesting! Thanks for the info!
