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)
Try holding a slice of bread in your mouth as you chop.
breath through your mouth and not your nose...always wrks for me :-)
By chewing gum when peeling onions, you can stop yourself from crying.
No. There is no research that says that cutting onions is good for your eyes. Cutting onions releases thiopropanol sulfoxide which, when it hits your eyes, creates a small amount of sulfuric acid. This is why your eyes burn and you cry when you cut onions.
The dependant variable in this experiment would be the amount of 'crying' resulting from the cutting of each onion.

You wont get same taste of onion if you boil it. But yes it will prevent you from crying.
Most people think that keeping onions in the fridge will prevent spoiling. This is false, onions should be kept it a dark, cool, dry place to prevent them from turning.
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.
yes they particularly make you cry when you are chopping them to stop you from crying you can wear something over your eyes because your eyes are where crying comes from
I assume your asking "cutting onions", The simplest way I've noted is to turn on the stove fan and let it pull the air away from you as you work on cutting the onion and then wash your hands and tools used.
