Frozen chopped onions - a warning

Oh no! We do that all the time but keep ours in a plastic tub, it seems to keep the smell away

My Gran made an apple pie and put it in her freezer next to a bag of frozen onion and the apple pie tasted of onion. tubs are definately the way to go!

Gonna try and pop them in a tub tonight but we don't really have any that close properly. Well... we do... but they're at my parents' house under the rest of the wedding gift list presents, waiting for us to move!

I always use frozen ones for cooking (spring onions for salad) as I can't chop them with my contact lenses in without my eyes stinging like a mofo.

I just did a mega asda online shop (loads of things for £1 plus cashback tempted me in) and ordered a plastic packet of frozen onions. I will be sure to transfer them to tupperware after opening, thanks!

To use later. I chopped an entire bag.

No, I store unchopped onions (in their skins) in the cupboard. I never have a peeled onion, or half-onions lying around... if I peel one I will use it all.

I just thought I could chop loads at the weekend and then use them during the week rather than chop a new one every day, so thought I'd freeze the chopped onions. I don't see this as weird... people use things like frozen chopped veg, what's the difference?

me neither, never done it but makes sense to chop em all cos it can be quite faffy aND TIME CONSUMING !OPPS caps lock!

I would imagine you'll lose a lot of the goodness when doing this ?

I'm probably very wrong, just what I imagine !!

Had to laugh at the title of this thread - sounds deadly serious ?" />

I actually think frozen vegetables hold their goodness really well. Alot of restuarants use frozen peas.

Oh, it is... you didn't smell it ?

?

Perhaps there was sense in what I was saying?!!

I never thought about freezing onions before although may now try it, i hate chopping the little blighters. I do use frozen mushrooms though because they are such a faff!
