Is there a way of slicing onions without crying?

Answer by  mammakat (11147)

Here's some tips that really do work- run the peeled onion under cold water, before peeling cut out the core of the onion, place onion in the freezer for about 10 minutes, burn a candle nearby to draw fumes- but the best solution is use a processor or enclosed chopper.

I either put the onion in the refrigerator for a day or in the freezer for an hour or two before slicing or chopping them. Don't store them indefinitely in the refrigerator, though - they'll get mushy.

Try putting the onion in the freezer. It seems to help, but make sure you plan on cutting one, because it has to sit in there for a little bit.
