How do you cut onions to avoid tears

I'm not really good at cooking but it helps to place the onions first in the fridge before slicing it. I hope this works for you. Happy myLotting :-)

I usualy run the onion under very very cold water once I take the outter skin off. Let it run over it for a few minutes. Also, it depends on the onions you use. some produce more gas than others. I find the spanish onions to be the worst for this one. I think the big white ones probably the least with this problem.
