1!. Put it in the fridge for a while!.
2!. Cut both ends (tip and root) off with a really sharp knife - A blunt knife crushes the onion more and makes you cry faster!
3!. After both ends are removed, remove the outer layer of the onion and wash the onion under cold running water!.
4!. Then slice the onion as fast as you can - watch out for your fingers though as cutting them will also make you cry :-)
These steps work really well for me!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

According to Martha Stewart, peel your onions near a lighted candle!. However, my Grandmother used to say that the best way was to rinse them under cold water and peel them with a cold knife!. I have used my Grandmother's way and haven't cried yet!. However, Martha Stewart swears by a lighted candle!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Cold water
Run cold water over the onion and the knife!. Cut near the sink so you can rinse the knife off in between cuts!. If not take a glass of cold water, maybe even with ice, to where you are working, to dip the knife into instead!.
Every few cuts rinse the onion off again!.
It has helped me from shedding too many onion tears!.
I have also heard putting it into the refrigerator to get cold before cutting!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

There is no foolproof method!. I usually light a candle very close to the cutting board!. In theory this helps dissipate the vapors from the onion before they reach your face!. Sometimes it works, sometimes not!. I've heard holding a pin in your teeth, wearing glasses, etc!. Nothing is perfect!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Onions are like humans!. They cry by leaving smell when they get hurt, when you cut them!. To stop crying take a zip loc and fill it with water!. Put onions in it and refrigate it!. But cut them in half!. After a day or 2 take them out and you will stop crying!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
