Question-
How do I chop onions and avoid the tears and pain!? I've heard ski goggles work, but if you have other ideas please share...I usually use sweet onions, but I'm sure each onion has its "pain and tears in different levels"

Answer-
There are several tips to chopping onions without tears. You can also buy frozen chopped onions (find them in the frozen vegetable section.)

- Chop an onion under cold, running water.
- Turn on a fan while cutting or wear goggles
- Pop the onion into the freezer for a few minutes before chopping it (this was a trick I learned years ago while working at Subway.)
- Use a food chopper. My favorite is the Pampered Chef Food Chopper
