I find that lighting a couple of kitchen matches, letting them burn for just a moment, then blowing them out and holding them in my lips (unburned end on lips, of course) keeps the tears away. I think it's the activated charcoal in the burned end of the match that absorbs the gas. Or maybe it's just the placebo effect because I BELIEVE it works. But it does. For me.

This will already help your from crying your eyes out when cutting your next onion!

If you slice it thinly perpendicularly (new word), and then slice across the layers, you will have tiny dices already when the layers separate. Saves time.

I love eating them... but my eyes will water for an hour or two after I have sliced an onion. Half the time I just shove them in the food processor and throw them into the sautee pan and put the lid on super fast... and immediately rinse the insides of the processor! Thanks for the tutorial. I will try it... outside. Love the blog! I cut onions OUTSIDE because I am so sensitive to them. I love eating them… but my eyes will water for an hour or two after I have sliced an onion.
