If, like me, you love onions but hate choppingthem, usually ending up looking like your favourite pet just died, here's a trick I've been using for years:
Take a fairly large piece of bread (one that you can hold in your mouth).
Put the bread in your mouth and hold it there.
Chop away.
No tears or irritation, pretty much guaranteed. But don't rub your eyes before washing your hands, it doesn't work that well.

Ahhh, I would have suggested a cheeseburger, but all the same.
I don't like onions, but a good tip nonetheless.

Good tip!
Washing my hands at intervals during the cutting also seems to work for me.

Another good tip, but you can't eat your lovely fresh baked hands after you've finished chopping your onions. :wink:

Yes, but it's no good on tuna pizza.

I gave it a try last night, and I'll be darned if it didn't work!
Thanks for the tip!
