I know this is common but how many of you have thought why this happens and how can it be stopped. If you have any suggestion do let all of us know, so that next time we do not cry when some one is cutting an onion in front of us.

Hi there, well i dont know if there is anyway where we will not cry when cutting onion. They said that you should put salt beside the onion but i remember i tried this before but still doesnt works. So i am asking also this one because its really a funny thing that you are crying without any reason, keep on mylottingthumbup

Hello happy There's many theories how to stop the tears. I keep onions in the fridge, chilled ones are less likely to make you cry. Cut it in half and then peel off the skin while it's laying flat. That way you're not letting the 'fumes' drift up into your face. It doesn't always work but I have less tears if I do that happy

You can wash the onion after you peel the outer layer off. It doesn't cut the tears completely but it does help.

One thing that I have learned over the year's is to cut the top end first then do the root end last. That way you wont cry. It's when you cut the root end off that it make's you cry. My mom also use to put an old wooden match in her mouth when cutting alot of onion's. It seemed to work.

Onion has some gas in it which is released when it is cut. The gas triggers the water secretion mechanism in our eyes and we start crying cool.
Some gas in the onion makes us cry buddy...

I wash my eyes with (a lot) water when I cry due to onions. Another way is by using an onion cutter or a food processor to cut it!!!

I don't know if this will work, but I read somewhere that chewing a gum can help you not to cry while cutting an onion. I never try it though because I seldom cook. rasp
