To prevent tears, the chilling works. If you’re in a hurry, put the onion in the freezer for 10 to 20 minutes first, but don’t forget about it. If you think of it, put it in the fridge the night before.

Keep a match stick between your front teeth, not chewing on it, just holding it there will keep you from breathing all the way into your sinus cavity. Not sure if that’s why it works but it does work!

I’m not sure why, but chewing gum or sucking on a mint while I’m chopping onions also seems to help prevent my eyes from getting irritated. Anyway, this was super helpful, thank you!! Now I know the difference between minced and diced :)
