How many onions can you peel before you start to cry?

Question

I start peeling one and that's it.... I'm sobbing! :-)

Answer 1

Peel the Onions under COLD water running from your kitchen sink and you will not sob as you put it.

Answer 2

A solution to keep from crying while peeling onions...
pop the onion(s) into the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes (a little longer for extremely strong smelling ones)
Take them out and peel/chop away..NO more tears...

Happy & tear-free chopping

Answer 3

If you don't cut the inner layers of the onion, just peel the dry outer layers, then none of the irritant oils and other juices get released and you can peel as many as you want!!! :)

When you start cutting or dicing them... well, that's a different story.
