Best Ways to Store cut onons.

I have those green bags and don't find them as good as their claim to fame. They do a decent job, but the thing is your fruit and vegtables must be kept dry. Every couple of days you have to take them out of the bags and dry off the condensation from the vegtables and fruits and then put them back into the bags which also have to be dried or replaced with dry ones. Maybe you will have better luck with them. Walmart is now using a green plastic bag in the vegtable aisle and those seem to work better than the clear ones, but nothing seems to be perfect.

i agree with you on the price of food, its crazy when you are trying to feed a family. if you have alot of leftover stuff you might want to look into them machine things that seal it up tight. then food won't go to waste which means your money won't go to waste. it might be a bit pricey to buy the machine but then just think of it this way, i only have to buy the machine once and in the long run you will save lots of money on food that will still be fresh and not gone bad and had to throw in the garbage.

I don't have a basement. I live in a condo. I buy the regular onions in a string bag and store them under the sink in the kitchen. When I buy shallots in a small string bag I store them in the fridg. When I buy Spanish or red onions I buy only 1 at a time and once it is cut I store it in the fridg. Any chopped onions I put in the freezer. I put it in the same bag as left over celery, tomatoes and asparagus ends. I use the contents of those bags to make soup stock. White onions also keep well in an open container under the sink. Once they are cut they get the same treatment as the others, in the fridg to be used up soon, when chopped in freezer baggies and frozen. Hope this helps.

Can only try the green bags one store here has them in the veggie department we put bananas in them and they lasted longer. now onions I keep in fridge they last a long time but I use them up pretty fast in my cooking. Daughter dont like them but I put them in big enough that she can take them out!

I store cut onions in the freezer. I do not spend money on freezer bags but just use the plastic wrappers that bread comes in. Press out the excess air and reuse the bread tie. They keep for months.

I have tried wrapping em on tissue paper then pack it a tight lock container. It is still crisp and fresh after a week.

Oh thank you for the hint, I have never known how to store onions, I have been just putting them in the fridge but as I don't use them a lot usually I have to get a new one the next time i need an oonion so i have alway bought the very small ones.

I bought some of those green bags and i was so excited when they arrived,but i am not impressed at all..I saw no difference between them and a regular zip lock bag..Anyway I started asking around to find out what others thought without giving my opinion because i thought it was just me..I ask my sister had she ever tried them she said "Yes & they are not good..Then i ask someone else & they said that they saw no difference between them and a regular zip lock..These are my results from these new green bags,to me they are not that great,but someone else may see it different..

I myself have seen no difference between the green bags and the glad bags.I use the glad bags mostly,you might try a bowl that has a tight lid.I use onions alot and most the time they dont last long enough to store. You have a great night.

When onions are on sale, I buy some. It's usually just me here about 9 months a year, so although I like them I don't eat that many. I dice them up and also cut some larger chunks, put them in baggies I get from the dollar store and freeze them. When I want some in a recipe or to put in an omelet or something, there they are! I realize they lose some of their consistency but I don't have to buy more than a few a year that way.

I store mine uncut in the refrigerator if I only have a couple. I think the Glad Press and seal is a good bet because they seal tight up to the onions and there will help keep the gasses from escaping and letting air in. Also if you cut them and place them in a plastic baggie place a folded up paper towel in the bag with the onions. This will keep excell moisture from escaping.

We store leftover onion in a sanwich bag and put them in the fridge. We do use it up within a fw days and have never had it go mouldy. Our climate is different I guess, we just keep onions in a cool dry place and they are fine.

hi friend, i try this type. thanks for your special hint. take care have a nice day.

Hi I use onions in everyday cooking. We tend to keep onions in cool dry place in open baskets ( we buy in large quantities). U can use small open boxes. Onions should be stored away from potatoes. On regular basis we check for any spoiled onion and throw it away. i rarely store any cut piece of onion. I am afraid my fridge will give onion smell. I never had any problems with this way of my storage of onions

When I have onions that have already been cu, chopped or sliced, I store them in sandwich bags that are made of clear plastic wrap. The ags (zip lock, or jus reular bags tied with a twist tie( are good, eause they hold the tiny pieces better than if I just wrapped them in a flat piece of plastic.

I have not heard anything about them, but I have found them in some local stores and usualy they dont make it to the store if they are not any good. I think I may try them as soon as I get some extra cash in the bank.

I just toss mine in a fold top plastic sandwich bag and put it in the fridge. I use onions several times a week though, so they never stay in there long enough to go bad. I have wondered about those green bags too. I almost picked them up last week, but I changed my mind and put them back on the shelf.

I put my onions and potatoes in my fridge so they don't go bad. I just put them in, in the bag they come in and they last me about a month before they start to go bad. But then they don't have a chance to go bad because we eat them before then. I have seen those commercials about those special bags that are supposed to keep your foods fresh for a long time. I have never tried them but since I don't need them as our food doesn't last long enough to go bad, as we eat them before then. After I have cut an onion and have some left yet, I put it into a plastic container and then in the fridge. You know, those cheap ones you buy at the dollar store, a package of 3 for $1.00. That way if the onion is in it for too long, and does go bad I just throw out the container and all. Or if no bought container, I use a margerine container. Alrighty then, talk to you later, Your friend, Chris

My Mom was sooooo frugal you just wouldn't believe it. She & my Dad ate a lot of onions. When she had a onion cut & going to waste, she put it in a small butter container with the lid. It kept the onion fresh for days. You pay for the container when you buy the soft butter, so she washed them very well & reused for onions & other foods. Cheaper than those special onion holders in the store!!!
