Onions

Love them, hate the tears! My best suggestion is to keep them cold, so I store mine in the refrigerator, and no more tears. I think if you keep them out, you can cool them down before cutting, if you have the time. That way I never have to put a piece of bread in my mouth, or remember which end to cut first...

Re: Onions

also I've heard if you don't cut off the top where I guess the root things are that it reduces the tears also.

Re: Onions

Thanks for the tip, Jann. I did not realize that temperature could help at all. Will give refrigeration a try!

Re: Onions

I didn't know this. I always thought putting onions in the refrigerator will have onions smell in there.. LoL!! Thanks for the tip Jann. :)

Re: Onions

Let's be clear here: you do not want to store onions in the refrigerator. They will create off flavors in other foods and they will go bad on you, longer term. Onions like a dry cool place of their own with a little air circulation - they will last for weeks.

You DO want to put whatever onions you plan to use in a dish into the refirgerator a couple of hours prior to use to cool them down so they are cold when you slice and dice. It does work.

Re: Onions

Technically, you are right, Amos. You should store onions in a cool, dry place in a paper bag or cardboard box.
But, I must admit to storing mine in my refrigerator drawer, so they are handy, and they do fine for me.
And, when they are cold/cold they don't have the odors. I also cut and freeze some for convenience, too.
