how do you cut onions without crying?

Answer 1

In water.

Answer 2

First put onion in the refridgerator after purchase.
Turn on fan and place to your side cut cold onion on cutting board with sharp knife.

The sulfur in the gaseous odor released during the cutting process causes you to tear. A sharp knife and cold onion helps to reduce some of the gas and the fan takes care of the rest.

Answer 3

Use a really sharp knife so it'll cut through the outer layer of the onion easier. Once the skin is removed, the crying shouldn't be a problem.

Answer 4

Try not to stand right over top of the onion when cutting. The juice squirting out of the onion causes you to tear up. So stay out of it's way and you'll be OK.
