Here's a helpful hint I learned a long time ago. This tip keeps me from crying as I'm chopping onions. Before I start gathering all the ingredients for my recipe, I put my onion in a container and cover it with ice, then pour water over it. Okay, that's not all. Then I light 3 or 4 tea light candles and place them around my cutting board. When I chop my cold onion, there are no tears! I've chopped really hot onions without having the efffects from gasses the onion puts off.
I keep my tea lights and a book of matches right next to my cutting board, so I don't have to go looking all over the house for them. They are as important to my kitchen as my measuring spoons.
