    the skins usually split then you just peel them off easy

    onion goggles maybe?

    I laughed way too hard at this whole post.

    I just man up with a knife.

    Secrets

    Rinse your knife frequently
    If you are chopping a lot of onion get the chopped piles off the board and into a bowl placed elsewhere
    Rinse the board
    Also learn to leave the root end unmolested and make parallel slices into onion the width apart the size of the dice then rotate the onion 90° and repeat. Then slice it up and it will fall to diced pieces without much crying

    I don't want to go this route. A faster way of chopping would be better.

    Does these info commercial actually works as advertise? To me it's a gimmick but I never tried them.

    I'm going to try over the weekend if the supermarket has any. A lot times the tomatoes are soft and squishy.

    I try to go fast before my eyes start to bother me. I did tried chopping onions the way in the videos. I just couldn't get used to chopping that way. I've been chopping my way for so long I hard to break a old habbit.

    Here's the potatoes peeler I have.

    Maybe a small fan pointed away from you? When you chop onions

    No, I slice my finger with that. I thought I needed stitches. Instead I used the glue on the cut.

    Never thought about a fan before.

    I thought about one of these. But it has bad reviews.

    I also thought about a cheese slicer.

    I just hate chopping. I like something easy where all digits will be in tack.

    My other option is find a girl that know how to cook.
