Chop onions over steam and directly into pot. Also to minimize the smell on the hands, place hands over steam as if you’re trying to warm them up. Works for me!

I put a glug of white vinegar on a tissue/roller towel, an d wipe the board with that before chopping onions. Works every time!

Don’t cut off the back end of the onion (root end) This does not work 100% of the time though, but I found that 7/10 times it works. I guess sometimes the onion is just too feisty haha. By the way, this tip came from Gordon Ramsey…

Place the onion in your refrigerator for an hour or more before cutting it. The cold stops the juice from emitting vapour which causes your eyes to water.

I watched a program on the cooking channel, they say, place a teaspoon between your teeth, I must be honest, I have not tried it….

Always have a mouthful of any of your favourite drinks, alcohol or any fizzy, tingles in the mouth distracts you and onion odours are easily camouflaged, this works!
