Get a sharp knife or learn how to properly use your own knife. I’m a chef and the only two ways that work are to use a super sharp knife properly or simply dull your sensitivity by cutting thousands of the things. I cut over 30 kilos of onions a week for 4 years for onion soups and I barely tear up while others are crying their eyes out. It also helps that I can shave with my knife and I slice instead of chop.

I agree with Craig. Something about the fragrance and the heat moving the air around from the wickless candle minimizes the effects of the onions.

What works best for me is sitting outside in the winter cutting them — i think something to do with the cold weather or slight breeze stops the gasses from reaching my eyes.

I don’t have contacts and I do have loads of problems with chopping onions. Have even more problems eating them… I could live the rest of my life without any onions and not miss them (although sauteed are nice enough); having other people in my life means I do chop onions… rinsing the knife often during the chopping helps tremendously- slow you down but it’s worth it.

I know I’m the gazillionth person to make this same comment, but I also wear contacts and have never had a problem cutting onions. I guess the contacts help block the chemicals…?

I chop a lot of onions, and I have usually cried, but so what. When I chopped a lot of them or I didn’t want to ruin make-up, I put on my ski goggles. (Sorry, I don’t have any pictures.) They work great, but I really had to bend my head down to see what I was doing over the edges of the goggles.

BUT, just before Christmas I saw onion cutting glasses for sale – the same RSVP brand mentioned above – and they are perfect. Much easier to put on than ski goggles and look a little less silly, too. Now I wear them for all onion chopping with no tears. In fact, once they are on, I usually keep them on through the carrot, celery, and other vegetable chopping. I kind of like looking silly, as long as I’m not uncomfortable.

Reference the French film “DIVA.” The character chops onions while wearing a snorkle! Maybe this works?
