WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO CHOP AN ONION WITHOUT CRYING?

Answer 1

A shortcut vs. putting it in the freezer is to run it under cold water for a while before cutting, this also sweetens the flavor of the onion. I like to buy a whole bag of onions on sale, chop them in the food processor and freeze in 1-cup batches. This saves a lot of time, money and tears!  

Answer 2

We found a piece called a whopper chopper for making french fries works the best. It has different adaptors like slicers for slicing tomatos onions ect use that adptor and there be no more tears  

Answer 3

Put it in the freezer for 10 minutes

OR

Run it under some cold water.

Then chew some gum while you're chopping (this doesn't work for me, but it works for my mom).
