Everyone’s talking about how to do this without crying. Cut the roots. Wash the knife. The real way to prevent tears is to not become emotionally attached to the onion before cutting.
Water is the solution. Rinse as you’re cutting.
The last thing my naked ass wants in the shower is a knife.
But it would take an onion?
This is literally the best solution… a wet knife is the best!
Make sure you don’t cut the root, that’s where the sadness lives.
Everytime
Still not a word.
cut off the root first. that’s where the highest concentration of the stinging stuff is. i’ve never had an issue since i started doing that.
Then the whole thing falls apart.
you can keep the stem on.
So instead of just leaving it on and never touching the root, you want to slice right through it?
It’s much easier to just use a sharp knife.
not through, slightly above.
Some people say to hold a spoon in your mouth but it’s really not needed. Just breathe heavily through your mouth while you cut. 90% of the time this is enough.
I always also wondered if wearing ordinary glasses would work. Goggles obviously would be that just seems over the top
I’m wondering how many of you have worked on a line. I did for a few years and never saw anyone bothered by it, at least not so much that couldn’t be hidden with sweat.

Y’all just need sharper knives
The only thing I have ever found to work is cutting them while submerging them in water. Which is way more effort for so little gain that I don’t even bother.
