I love freezing chopped onions. Nothing is more convenient when you are cooking a meal to simply open the refrigerator freezer compartment and break off a small section of chopped onion and add to your pot. Already washed , peeled and chopped. Probably the most convenient food I prepare.

That also is my favorite way!
ReplyDeleteAlways handy, espescially when in a hurry.
I am now in the process of dehydrating potatoes.
My dear husband brought home two 50 pound bags and am down to about 20 more pounds to go!
I do this, too. Makes for easy prep. I only have room to keep a quart bag or two at the time, so whenever I run out I chop enough at once to refill those two bags...lol.
ReplyDeleteA great idea . I never thought of doing that . Have a good day !
ReplyDeleteProbably my favorite thing to freeze too! I use TONS of them. I either chop them and flash freeze so they separate easily or I'll put them in the food processor, JUST long enough to where there is a tiny bit of juice. Then I freeze them into ice cube trays--once frozen, I'll vacuum pack the cubes to keep them longer (once seal is broken, I still keep them in a freezer bag). Popping out a few "cubes" of onion for soups, etc, makes it so quick and simple!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea. Our onion usage varies. Sometimes we'll use 5 or 6 a week, then we may go several weeks without using any.
ReplyDeleteI could do this while they are fairly reasonably priced.
They don't need to be blanched or anything, do they? Just dice and freeze?
Thanks, CQ!
Just peel chop and freeze : )
DeleteAwesome. Thank you, CQ! :o)
DeleteLove this idea! We use a lot of onions; this is a great way to have them at the ready when needed. Thanks for the tip.
