Tip: chopping onions

I hate chopping onions because they always set the tears a-flowin', then my eyes won't open and I try to chop blind, which is just dangerous.

So, I put onions in the freezer for 10 to 30 minutes before I chop them--and no tears. No fumes, no danger of chopping off my fingers. So, if you're like me and have to chop an onion with a box of kleenex, give this a try. Just don't leave the onion in the freezer too long, or it'll get too frozen to cut.
