- SuperWinner, on 10/27/2007, -0/+1I'll start crying if this makes the front page. Whats next, how to peel a banana without getting turned on?
- BlogEx, on 10/26/2007, -0/+2I should pass this on to my mom. She always looked like someone had just ran over her dog or something.
- BHopkins, on 10/27/2007, -0/+2@freakystyley - sometimes its about murdering an onion, nothing else.
- digitalfever, on 10/27/2007, -0/+0first of all I'll try myself if successful then pass it to my frieds. Nice pics
- pastaq, on 10/27/2007, -0/+1That dude should really get a better set of knives than fake henkels...
Good eats is a good show. Yay Alton brown! - HottisHiatus, on 10/27/2007, -0/+1Another way to not cry is by putting a piece of bread in your mouth while cutting, this will lessen the tears as well.
- 7Mystery, on 10/27/2007, -0/+3Awesome post! I’ll forward this to my girl (see, she can’t use the “You don’t help around the kitchen” line anymore).
Thinking big. - 7Mystery, on 10/29/2007, -4/+1Fox sucks ass, and so does this quiz!
- mt066, on 10/27/2007, -1/+1"1) Use a sharp knife and work quickly"
Hmmmm.....that actually seems like a bad idea. I like my fingers where they are.- skidme, on 10/28/2007, -1/+2The article assumes that your hand-eye coordination is better than that of a 4-year-old.
- mt066, on 10/28/2007, -0/+1They assumed wrong.

- grumpy1377, on 10/27/2007, -0/+1The best way to have NO tears when peeling/cutting onions is to chew a piece of gum, it overpowers the smell of the onion, (and also breathe through your mouth, and not your nose when cutting/ peeling.
Try it, i guarantee it will work. - pizzler, on 10/27/2007, -0/+1All you need to do to keep your eyes from watering when cutting an onion is chew a piece of gum. You eyes will not water at all.
- MonarchWastxD, on 10/27/2007, -0/+1Come on, it's not that bad. I just open a window or just take a break or something. You're letting a little root vegetable get the better of you! It's all about attitude.
- jmgoody311, on 10/27/2007, -1/+5I think the instructions for cutting an onion with no tears go something like this:
Step One: Stop acting like a little bitch. - JonnyTrombone, on 10/27/2007, -0/+1#3 is the only reasonable suggestion. If you keep your onions in the refrigerator (just throw them in after you buy them), you'll never have a problem.
- skidme, on 10/27/2007, -0/+2All I do is put Sulfuric acid in my eyes before cutting the onion. That way I never notice when the tears actually form because of the onion.
- RubberBinder, on 10/27/2007, -0/+2My eyes don't water when I cut onions. Heck, I eat them raw.
- airiox, on 10/29/2007, -2/+1My eyes haven't watered around onions since I was 5 years old... Seriously, if you can't cut an onion without crying, something is seriously wrong with you.
- thespudmall, on 10/29/2007, -1/+1Wear a sulphuric acid fume rated gas mask. That is what makes you cry when you cut em.
- Camphlobactor, on 10/27/2007, -0/+1You dont need to do all those steps. Just wear sunglasses.
- edithsan, on 10/27/2007, -0/+1Great pictures!
