You've Been Storing Onions Wrong Your Entire Life

Do you have any tips for storing certain foods?

And who wants to have this crap hanging around the house I can imagine what your house looks like who wants a bunch of stinky onions hanging around that’s ridiculous

I’ve been putting my onions I use the white ones and the ones with the yellow peel and the red in the federator they don’t mold they don’t grow eyes or nothing and they taste fine they keep saying it’s a health has it what kind of health has it I also put my garlic I’ve been fine

Me after seeing two fruitflies doing the nasty in my onion bag😞

Hello did you forget the purple onions and going with the pantyhose? It’s a little too much this is 2023. Let’s be a little more hygienic. Please do some research and bring your information up-to-date.😅

The panty hose thing looks gross to me lol

I keep a bag of potatoes in a plastic bucket in a small pantry and then dump a bag of onions on top. Guess that's a no-no. I thought they like each other staying quiet for a couple months. 🤷🤷

I can hear Gretta Thunberg “How dare you” using one paper towel per onion… 😂

Too many terms. Couldn't keep track of the type of onions I have. yellow onions.

Did I miss it or did she say how to tell the difference between the sweet and not sweet onions? I'm still not sure which ones go where.

So the good old onion bin still stands omg.

Thanks this is helpful

I only buy a couple onions at a time leave them stored in a bowl on the kitchen counter, usually I only use a half an onion at a time, the other half I wrapped in tin foil and place it in a ziplock baggie and put it in the vegetable bin in the fridge.

I eat last onion was 8 month old on fridge

OMG. Had no idea i can cook and store... I will spend the next day talking about it to everyone I meet.

these stock clips are so stupid

Man, why is it that so many people have such scratchy voices?

I hang my onions in the cellar hanging in a nail in a rafter. If I cook steak I boil chopped onions , add milk when they're done & add butter, salt & pepper. They're really good.

I have not been doing it all wrong so STFU

Of course I have and now your hear to fix it, wonderful

That voice is ideal for 2X playback speed.
Twice the onion in half the time.
(Like who cares?)

Serious note to men: before using panty hose for any handy purposes, make absolutely sure to loudly and repeatedly ask your current wife/girlfriend for her discarded panty hose and thank her repeatedly on several occasions for them. Hopefully, this will lodge in her mind that the panty hose you are using for onions, or in the garden to tie up tomato plants, are actually hers. Otherwise, the cost of dinners and presents will negate the utility of discarded panty hose. You stand forewarned. This is the type of wisdom all fathers should share with their sons.

yeah.... anytime I've ever stored an onion in my fridge, 1) it made the fridge reek, 2) the onion gets soft and withered within days....

Our onions, whether sweet or yellow sit in a wire mesh container on the kitchen counter. We don't stack them over 2 high, they last a good month. We're in Ft Lauderdale Fl it's hot all year so AC runs 24/7 kept between 75 at night to 78 day. If any onions sprout, we pot them for the scallions.

People keep telling me I'm mad for storing them in the fridge. But they keep going bad in the pantry, so *shrug

what a bunch of bull poop unplug frig turn out power go back to 1900 see how many dies of food poisoning !!! you idiots should be put in cave with nooo modern way of life!!! eat your rotted food are you brain dead or stupid.. chilled food will last weeks longer.

No, not really. I don't store them near potatoes and they store just fine in my pantry for how long I keep them, given that I'm not growing them, so they only need to hang around for the time until I use one or two of them.

😳

Fair dinkum why so much talking gives me a damn headache?

"These onions smell like tuna...."

Nope....I've been storing onions correctly my whole life. (And, it's a great reuse of old pantyhose) I don't cut the legs off however, I use the connecting fabric..... slinging one leg over a 2x4 on the garage wall.

Onions in pantyhose... Ohh... Kinky!

I don't buy onions until I am ready to use them. No special storage needed. Now tell me I did it wrong.

DON'T throw away onions when they sprout! The bulb part is no longer usable, but the shoots themselves are delightful!

Do they still sell pantyhose?…………… lol

I've Been Storing Onions Right My Entire Life, You Don't Know Me.

Or buy only as much as you're going to eat in a few days otherwise you're an onion hoarder.

I remember my dad making braided strings of onions and hanging them up, and they kept just fine. I don't have that skill, but I hang up my net bag of onions and it seems to act the same way.

When you say that onions and potatoes shouldn't be stored near each other, how much space between them do they need? I store my potatoes in the pantry on the bottom shelf and the onions on the shelf above it. Is this enough distance?

How the hell do you know which onion is which when all you can buy are the generic, white, brown and red onions in supermarkets?

WARNING: I tried the technique of storing the onions tied up in panty hose and my wife made me sleep out in the backyard dog house for THREE WEEKS !!!

Cool dark place

Is this Samantha Bee

Try storing onions in a cool dry place in Florida…..what a waste ….

Or just go to the store and buy an fresh onion whenever you need it.

How would you know how i store my onions. Dumb statement!

I laughed! Thank you!

the word is NOT BLLB....it is Bulb....there is a "u" in there, like the word UP.

Doesn't this attract them flying pests ?

Ferment them, easy. Add salt & water in a glass jar.
