Quick Tip - Onions!

So many people I know only by the amount of onions they may need. Whilst onions are not really expensive it is so much more practical to buy the big bags of them. Problem is, what if you don't use onion that often? They do last ages but will go off eventually.

A simple solution, freeze them.

Onions actually freeze quite well and the convenience is great. All you have to do is peel and slice or dice them how you want, secure in a freezer bag or freezer container and pop it in the freezer! I like to make individual portions, usually half an onion per freezer bag as I don't always use a whole onion for cooking. It defrosts quickly and can be thrown into most dishes before thawing.

So not only can you save a bit of money and time, you don't need to worry so much about those horrid onion tears!
