HOW TO: Store Onions
Using a disposable container to store leftover onions is a great way to minimize the onion smell in your fridge, and reuse single-use plastic containers.
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
