∙ 15y agoWell it may do but it will destroy the delicate cells of the onion and a frozen onion would be very 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.

Would wearing goggles prevent you from crying when cutting an onion?
Yes it would. The volatile oils in the membrane between layers of onion make your eyes water, provided the onion is sufficiently warm; if the onion is cold the vapours won't be released during cutting. For this reason, onions should be kept in the refrigerator; store them in a plastic bag, twisted to keep out the air. You can put them in several layers of plastic bags, or in a tightly-sealed plastic container so that they don't cause your refrigerator to smell of onions.
