@Flatbush     I never tear up with white onions.  Yellow onions are the worse for tears.  Switch to white onions.

@Flatbush Since you posted I've thinly sliced several onions at once and also grated onion with no tearing or eye irration at all.  Thank you so much for posting.

@ALRATIBA 

That is my solution too. I very rarely have a problem slicing the cold onions. But if I find that won't work anymore, i will definitely use the napkin/paper towel

I'm always surprised when Vidalias make my eyes burn.  Makes me think they are counterfeit.  Woman Sad

I cut onions when they are cold from fridge.  I read or heard it somewhere. Been doing it for years.  I'm also going to try your tip.  Thanks!
