Best Answer

Peel the onions in a bowl of cold water or under a running tap Refrigerate the onion to cool the gases that make your eyes water, this causes them to move down toward the floor instead of up toward your eyes. An old wives tale is to hold a tea spoon in your mouth Peel them outside so the wind blows away the onion fumes. Chew gum or eat sugar cubes (this causes you to breathe through your mouth, inhibiting the amount of gas that gets into your nose)

Can chewing gum prevent you from crying when cutting onions?

When cutting onions, cells are broken, releasing certain substances that are modified and then reach the eyes through diffusion, where they cause irritation on contact. To prevent the eyes from watering, you have to prevent the gas from reaching them - for example by cutting the onion underwater. Chewing gum might help a little if you chew with your mouth open and also breathe through your mouth. You will simply disturb the gas's diffusion this way.
