This is a old Indian belief that while cutting onion ,if you put one layer of onion hooked over your ears , it wont tear you.

Put a wooden match stick between your teeth with the end that light up ofcourse to the outside, the sulfur does the job, and peel the onions under cold running water.

put the onions in the fridge as this reduces the amount of gas produced. they need to be in there for a while so pop them in the night before. Or buy one of them machines where you put the onions in close the lid and turn a handle and the blades chop the onion.

Soak the onion in ice water or put it in the freezer for 15 minutes. Chew some spearmint or cinnamon gum while cutting.

This works and it is very easy to do. When you cut the onion, leave the root on until the very end and your eyes won't tear.
