Excellent ideas! I always have that problem too and just deal with the tears for the few minutes that I am doing it. I have dry, irritated eyes to begin with... now I have some new things to try so that doesn't happen! Thanks!

I will have to try the candle near the onion. We are always burning candles in the house so why not use one of them. I have heard about chilling them before but have never tried that. I guess you learn something new everyday..LOL

I haven't really had a problem with cutting onions, but sometimes my eyes do tend to water. Although it has never been as much of a problem for me as it has been for others.

That's surprising and Good for you. You are blessed. I wish I was you.
You can't imagine how bad it gets for me even when I have just chopped 1/4th of a small onion. :mad:

Well i heard if you chew gum it stops the tears..but i never thought it was true. Anyone wanna prove this wrong?

Interesting way of onion cutting. Im trying it out next time.
