It may do but it will destroy the delicate cells of the onion and a frozen onion would be difficult to cut, I suggest you refrigerate the onion to cool the fumes that make your eyes water, this causes them to move down toward the floor instead of up toward your eyes or my preferred method is to peel the onions in a bowl of cold water or under a running tap. It might make you cry.

∙ 9y agoIt should do, if you chill or refrigerate the onion this will cool the fumes that make your eyes water, this causes them to move down toward the floor instead of up toward your eyes, or you could try my preferred method which is to is to peel the onions in a bowl of cold water or under a running tap, or try and old wives tale by holding a tea spoon between your teeth.

Answer:
The colder the onion the more viscous the liquid in the cells. This minimizes the amount that they spray when you cut them. Similarly a really sharp knife slices through the cells without ripping them, reducing the spray.

What part of a onion makes you cry?
All onions make you cry, because when you cut them, the enzymes inside combine to make a gas that wafts up from the onion. When the gas touches the water in your eyes, it forms sulfuric acid, which is what makes your eyes cry in order to wash the irritant away. You can avoid this by cutting the onion under water, or chilling it.
