cut them under running cold water and talk while cutting. sounds dumb I know, but I've been told talking or singing helps.

Your eyes burn because of the sulphur fumes in an onion. Cut them under water in the sink to stop the burning

Light a candle with a good flame - it must be low and near the cutting area - it will stop the burning

It's the mist in the air that you don't see. You can stop the buring by holding your hands under clod water with your eyes closed. That always works. If you like handbags to because you are a woman you can visit my site. We have some amazing deals right now.

They burn because onions stink and to stop the burning hold your breath. when your eyes water too. when your eyes water wipe them.

put the onion in the freezer for a bit before cutting. the colder the onion, less bothersome it will be.

Onions won't make you cry if you have a good knife. I also use the Pampered Chef food chopper.

because the onion has sulfur & it maybe contains acid .
put the head of a match in your mouth .

This is weird but if you will chew on bubble gum while chopping then your eyes won't burn.
