Successful defense against onions!
I've always had problems with massive tearing while cutting onions. The most successful defense that I've found is to cut them next to a gas burner on high, the convection air current pulls in the escaped gas that causes tearing and incinerates it. But we have an electric range, so no can do. I've tried slightly freezing onions, and that improves things, but it's not a solution.
Today I found one.
Ski goggles.

I have considering buying a single burner camp stove sort of thing, which could also be useful in the event of a power outage, so maybe I'll still buy one. Today I'm making beef stew, and I went to cut my onion, and just cutting it in half almost wiped out my vision. Then it occurred to me that I have a pair of ski goggles in the car.
Worked a treat!
