Any tips in preventing onion tears?

Get someone else to chop up the onions.

Breathe your mouth not your nose whilst you’re doing it and don’t swallow. Works for me x

You can get devices hold the onion in an enclosed space and you bash a thing on it and the onion gets chopped up.

They say you can chop them under water too.

Only certain varieties of onions have that effect so you might be able to only get the ones which don't.

A wet towel on the side should do the job

Use a sharp knife, a blunt knife makes the cells in the onion burst which in turn explodes the pesky tear inducing chemicals into the air. A sharp knife reduces this

Apparently some of the things people try are chilling in freezer for 10 mins first, cutting under water or near a running tap, puttinga piece of bread in your mouth or wearing gogles

Suck on a spoon at the same time, so I've heard, personally I avoid them like the plague, prefer spring onions added for flavour xxxxx Suzi

Sharp knife releases less sulphur from onions and garlic.. if you’re doing a lot of onions , after you peel each one run it under the tap for a few seconds

They very rarely make me cry these days, (cos I'm hard!)but it used to help to chop them next to a running cold tap.

Alternatively when you do chop them, do a load and freeze what you don't need til next time

I peel them under cold running water, chop them in half and run them under the cold tap again, seems to work quite well for me until you get one of those bastid strong ones

Just stand back.

The noxious gas in onions rises as you cut into them and gets into your eyes if you're standing above them looking down. All you need to do is chop them at arms length, and you'll be fine.
