    Put the unpeeled onion in the freezer. Leave the onion in the freezer for about ten minutes.  Remove the onion from the freezer and peel it. The onion can now be sliced, chopped, or minced without tears.

    To avoid crying when chopping onions always start at the non-root end. If you chop towards the roots, you do not cry.
