Do you cry when you cut onions?
If you chill them first before cutting them, it slows the chemical reaction that produces the onion style 'tear' gas.
You can try putting them in the freezer for a few minutes to get them really cold and then cut them. IT should slow down the tears quite a bit.
If anyone has other tips, please share them.
