My advice is don’t eat onions, I cannot stand onion. When I had to cut them up as a kid I remeber my Dad telling me to stick my head in the freezer for a few seconds and that did help. I heard on the news recently that after 20 years of research a new onion type is being released that does not cause this problem?

I was told that if you put them in the fridge first it stops they eye issues.

I would try safety glasses. Have a look by office works and Bunnings

Remove the skin then run them under cold water for a bit. I find this helps

wear a pair of swimming goggles when cutting onions

I have my swimming goggles on if I am chopping lots of onion. If it is only one onion, I will hold my breath or breathe through my mouth and at the same time blocking the air flow going up my nose (if it makes sense?)

Tea towel over the shoulder when chopping helps out.

I recently saw kitchen glasses for this very purpose at TK Maxx. They look very dame Edna

Putting on glasses or gggles might help. I’ve heard holding a slice of bread in your mouth while you’re doing it helps. I’ve also heard keeping the onion in the fridge reduces tears when you cut it. And also I ding a really sharp knife

You could wear goggles, or a face shield or a fancy slicer but I just like to pop them in the fridge! the longer they are in and the colder they are the less likely they are to affect your eyes.

I chew gum

I keep my onions in the fridge, sounds weird but they don’t sting nearly as much as when they are stored at room temperature.

I open the window or put the fan on and turn away while slicing slightly

When you peel onions immigiately put them in water and them cutting the onions

Maybe goggles – swimming or industrial (welding or grinding goggles) and a mask – you can buy them in packs – I have seen them in Bunnings but they may be cheaper elsewhere – I don’t know if the can he hand washed and re-used or not…..or maybe a pharmacist.
I have the same problem with some cleaning products.

I have tried many things but still end up crying.

Cut away from the root, it does help!

Try peeling under water if your eyes are so bad. It does help but a bit messy?

I would love to know!

Make sure use a sharp knife.
