HOW TO: Store Onions

Not using the full onion?

Peel onion and trim off amount needed

Remaining amount - 

• Place inside a cleaned sour cream/cottage cheese container

• Using a permanent marker, write ONIONS on the container

• Place in refrigerator and use remaining onion as needed

Generally keeps for 1-2 weeks depending on initial freshness of the onion.

Sour cream container is a perfect receptacle because

• you were going to trash it anyway so once it's irredeemably onion-scented then toss it

• it’s a second purpose for a formerly single-use container 

• the lid seals tightly and effectively prevents the onion aroma from permeating the rest of the items in the refrigerator
