How to keep from crying while slicing onions?

Cut them next to an open flame. Either a gas stove, a few candles, Bunsen burner, etc. Cuts through the vapors. Also, make sure they are chilled. Both of these methods together = no tears.

Thanks

Put them in the freezer for a little while before you slice. This freezes the liquid inside and prevents the vapor from forming.

get a small chopper/food processor & let it do the work

use a sharper knife
