My mum does. LOL
Try keeping it in the fridge for a few hours before peeling. It helps.
Here is the trick. Do not cut off the base of the onion where the roots were. Cut around it.
chew gum while you do it.
I also keep them in the refrigerator. It never fails. You'll stop crying for onions, but I do not promise you'll stop crying for memories.
peel them under water,do it in oepn air,do it under air conditioner,peel it as fast as possible.
Light a candle just before cutting into the onion. It works!
Let the onions soak in water for a little while then peel them.

I was told some time ago that a VERY sharp knife is what helps in this situation. I tried this along with good ventilation and I have no more tears. Good cooking!

use goggles. WEll, thats daft, but it works
You can also have a piece of white bread ( i say piece cos i don't mean slice) in your mouth, between your teeth and lips. It must stick out of your mouth.

i have heard a few unusual ways... here's a few:
*Put a piece of bread in your mouth
*chew gum
*rinse well before and uring cutting
*leave the roots of the onion until last, as they contain all the juice and fumes.
hope this helps

Make sure your onion is cold it's better when it is less crying not sure if it will stop it all the way. Doesn't for me but it does for my husband.

Keep your mouth closed and breathe through your nose. It works for me.

Onions produce the chemical irritant known as syn-propanethial-S-oxide. This gas is also known as the Lachrymatory Factor (‘crying factor'). It stimulates the eyes' lachrymal glands so they release tears. This gas is instable and can react with water which results in, among others, sulphuric acid. When this happens in the eye, the eyes start to neutralize the acid by producing large amounts of water, and thus make us cry.

Cooling your onion before cutting can help...or cutting them when wet...or even under cool running water. Most of the irritant is found in the thin lining between the layers of onion so the least contact with that helps too.

Some kinds of onions do not have as much of the enzymes and gasses but your flavor is different with these types also.

Another less successful remedy is to chew crackers or bread while your chopping....not sure why this helps.

Cold water or refrigerated onions work best for me. Just remember not to take a deep breath when you first slice. Good Luck!

cut the onion in the bowl of water. it always work for me...try tht.good luck

Source(s):

invented by my grandma
Cut in half and put in water, if you have a bowl or sink to accommodate, cut the remaining parts under water, if this is to hard, then you can cut and place in water after each cut. Keeping them underwater=no tears, but out and in water=less tears than before, but maybe some.
Let someone else do it for you.
well you can wear sun glasses, wash the onion under H2O and work near an open window
Leave them in the fridge over-night.
