I am so glad I have finally found this and all my friends out here will sure love this too.

To reduce the tears when peeling or slicing onions, chill them first.
I tried it today and guess what, it really worked for me

I heard that tip too. But what if you don't have time to chill your onions?

Then try this: just cut the head off, keep the root intact while peeling and cutting (that is the part which makes you cry actually), chop it off only at the end.

I've heard to soak an onion in icy water for 5-15 minutes to reduce the smell.

You can also burn a candle right next to your cutting board as you're cutting. The flame will burn off the odor before it hits your nose/eyes.

wow! This candle idea sounds like a good one.
I will try burning a scented candle. All the better for my olfactory too!
