Stop the tears when cutting onions

Submitted by Sherri

If all other methods have failed and you still find your eyes burning and tearing, open the freezer and allow the cold air into your eyes blinking continuously. This works best when your freezer is in it's "blowing cold air" mode. Continue until you no longer feel your eyes burning. Oh, and be sure to remove your glasses first so the cold air can actually GET to your eyes!
