Onions

[maggiebee]

Can anyone tell me if you can freeze chopped raw onions please?

[hc4361]

Yes, you can, for cooking later

[maggiebee]

Thanks hc4361, usually freeze peppers etc but have never tried onions before. Going on hol and don't want to waste them.

[mikey4444]

Yes, very well.

Onions will keep for ages in the fridge -why bother freezing them if you are only away for a couple of weeks?

[mikey4444]

Onions should also keep for ages, in a dark, dry area, like a shed or garage.
Remember when our Mums used to buy a string of onions off the French Onion Man ? ( Sioni Wynwns in Wales ! )

I always keep them in the fridge.

We have a pantry and onions keep for months either hung up or in a bag I got from lakeland. I put a few in the fridge now and then for quickness and always keep spring onions in the fridge.

[ummmm]

I have a pantry too but I think they last much longer in the fridge.

Of course most fridges are dark most of the time - I keep forgetting that
And they are sealed unit too
I always keep my bread in the microwave for that reason
