Want to know a way of peeling and chopping onions without crying?

Just like with the shiney hair tip, I've tried this myself so I know it works!

First off, you need a raw, fresh onion, a chopping board and a sharp knife. You also need really cold running water as you are peeling the onion, but that isn't as vital as the other things

I'll wait while you go and get them! ;-)

Back? Good.

OK, so, first off you peel the onion under the cold running water if you are using it.

Do *not* use a knife yet! Leave the ends of the onion on for the moment, just peel it with your fingers.

Now take your onion over to the chopping board

This is the secret to chopping the onion without crying, so don't skip this step!

Best of all, you've already got everything you need and doesn't cost anything at all!

Move the tip of your tongue up to the roof of your mouth.

Keep it there the whole time you are cutting the onion.

Et voila, no tears!

Now quickly move the onion into the pan or onto the baking tray or whatever you are using and you can now take your tongue off the roof of your mouth and wash your hands thoroughly with cold water and you're done!
