I am doing a middle school science fair project testing several methods to stop the tears. This was a great resource! But the question is, were you guys telling the truth about these wacky remedies? Anyway, keep posting these on this place, it's a great place to go when you're bored. Ha! Hey I found the info on this page useful.

First at the Chopping Block and then here, and here. I think it’s a sign that I must buy them. I must have sensitive eyes or tear ducts or whatever. I have a horrible time chopping onions. Tears, burning sensations - it’s awful. I’d gladly wear ridiculous-looking goggles to be done with that.

And to keep them from steaming up, I just rub a very thin layer of liquid dish soap on the surface of the lens. No loss of visibility, no tears. If you don't revel looking like an idiot in the kitchen, though, here's a little tip: Most of the tear-inducing oxide in the onion is contained in the root end. If you slice the leaves away and leave the root intact you'll avoid a great deal of pain and discomfort. I actually bought some dollar store goggles for this exact purpose.
