The secret to cutting onions

I know this comes up every now and then on this board, but I have found it! My buddy (not Kalunda) told me that while you're cutting onions, if you keep your mouth shut, you won't cry. He cut 7lbs of onions during Mardi gras and didn't shed one tear. I just cut 2 large onions and didn't cry either. This has been the only way that has really worked for me.

I just breath out the whole time.

If you refrigerate the onions and cut them while cold, it'll cut down on the tears.

I've never really had this issue, I guess I'm immune.

Put a toothpick in your mouth. It helps me most of the time

Interesting...the only thing that helps me is breathing through my mouth instead of my nose. I've heard the problem is once you breathe it in it annoys your sinuses.
