All this talk of onions got me thinking. Used to be at least in this area,
you could buy white or red peeled onions at all of the grocery stores. I think they were priced individually and cost a lot more than the regular ones. They were sold refrigerated. My dad used to boast about buying them that way because they were cleaner. And I guess that worked for him because he didn't buy too many onions. I would buy them myself once in a great while if I needed one right away and was in a hurry to use it. But since I normally go through a lot of onions, I would usually just buy the room temp.ones with the skins on. Anyway... I have not seen any peeled onions like this for a long time! I have occasionally seen onions that are sold sliced or cut up. They are sold in tubs. I did buy those once, I think. I think I bought those and a sliced tomato. I only bought them because we were moving and it is custom to provide a meal for the movers when you move out of military housing. Most people order pizza. I was quite sick of pizza so just got an assortment of meats and cheeses, breads, condiments, etc. and let everyone make their own sandwich. Oh and a side note. The cloth onion bag that I bought was a waste of money. It did not keep them fresh. One onion spoiled in there. I caught it before it was too bad, but it leeched some green mildew onto the bag. I couldn't get the stain out so just tossed it. |

"Needed one right away? In a hurry to use it?" How long does it take you to peel an onion? You can be most annoying.
In the time you waste on inane posts, you could peel a peck of onions. What I'm getting at is.....sincerely, you need to manage your time better. |

It is free standing, about 50cm wide and as tall as my benchtops. Three separate compartments. The top one has a flip up lid and I keep bread in there. The middle compartment is for potatoes and the bottom one for onions. Both of these have hinged doors that open downwards. My onions would last for weeks, except they get used within a week! JB |

Why risk getting sick. They are most likely bathed in chlorine (or maybe even radiation) to make them safe to store for weeks in a shop stand. The chlorine may in fact react with those onions and create undesired byproducts. Nothing like some pathogens or toxins to add to your recipes. And anytime precut or prepeel veggies like onions you allow nutrients to seep out. Any half assed cook can quickly cut fresh garlic or Onions and really should avoid buying risky precut and prewashed stuff. I understand time constraints of middle income suburbanites. The average commute time where I live is 89 minutes a day. I spend 120 minutes a day commuting and can still find 20 seconds to peel and chop/dice an onion when i get home after being away for 12 hours I do not blame the elderly or disabled from buying precut ingredients, if it means they get better nutrition than food from some frozen box, but the majority of able bodied cooks should really avoid buying stupid stuff like pre peeled onions. |

Stored underneath the counter, the onions last for weeks. I buy them that way to sometimes but I have to store them in the fridge. I used to use an onion bin but they kept going moldy and I'd get fruit flies. |

I don't have a broom closet much less a pantry. I have to put the mops and brooms in the laundry room where they perpetually fall over and trip me. |

No. They were actually quite fresh. All you had to do was rinse them. |

I can't speak for garlic but I'm pretty sure that those onions weren't bathed in anything. I only ever saw the white or red ones. Never the yellow. |

My eyes naturally tear for no reason, but onions don't do it these days. I'm not sure if it's the onions or the way I chop them now.

I blame it on the slow global warming and changing of the structure of the onion(tm). ![]() That said, the occasional tearing never bothered me when it did happen. I used to love the "remedies" in the "how to cut an onion without tears" threads. My all time favorite funny solution was to cut them underwater in a large bowl of water. LOL! Oh...and the "light a candle" next to it solution. heheh G. |

I don't have a pantry either, wish I did, but I have a small closet right off the kitchen which I call a broom closet. It has a horizontal pole like a clothes closet does, but who would hang clothes there? Anyhoo...it's good for storing stuff. Cheri |

You seem to like to make things so much more difficult than they need to be! I get the impression that where Julie lives there are garbage police, going through people's trash looking for organic materials and issuing hefty fines whenever a banana peel or eggshell is found.

Don't forget they also sell peeled hard boiled eggs as well. |
