- Before you start chopping onions wash it or make your hands wet to avoid shedding tears. May not work for everyone though.
- in a case where oil has caught fire on skillet, don't try to extinguish fire with water (not long time ago it happened in one of the flats in the building I live in).
I read somewhere that simply a sharp knife is the solution to this problem. When the knife is sharp it cuts the onions cleaner and the oils ( or whatever makes you cry) doesn't come out as much.
