What can we do to prevent crying from onions?

1. Cool the onion. Chilling the onion before cutting can help to reduce the release of the chemical that causes tears. Place the onion in the fridge or freezer for at least 30 minutes before cutting it.

2. Use a sharp knife. A sharp knife will produce cleaner cuts and release less of the chemical that causes tears. Make sure your knife is sharp and well-maintained.

3. Cut the onion under running water. This can help to wash away the chemical that causes tears before it has a chance to reach your eyes.

4. Use a fan or vent. Place a fan or vent near your cutting board to help disperse the chemical that causes tears.

5. Wear goggles or safety glasses. This will protect your eyes from the chemical that causes tears.

6. Use a specialized cutting board. Some cutting boards are designed with grooves or channels that help to collect the chemical that causes tears.

7. Hold a piece of bread in your mouth. This can help to absorb some of the chemical that causes tears.

8. Light a candle near your cutting board. The flame from the candle will help to burn off the chemical that causes tears.

9. Use a contact lens. This will help to create a barrier between your eyes and the chemical that causes tears.
