    Isn't that the right/best way, though? Cutting the ends off means the outer layers are free to be easily removed.

      Apparently you're only supposed to take a small amount (just the tendrils) off the root end. http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/how_to_chop_an_onion/

      Actually, the "best" technique is this one. I'm extremely sensitive to onions and pretty much cried every time, but I don't since I adopted this technique.

      Plus, it's much easier in the long run, and a lot faster, cause the onion doesn't fall apart.

        Has anyone tried chewing gum while cutting onions? I've heard several times that is supposed to help.
