FAQs
Do onion keepers really work?
From our experience, onion keepers work really well. Their airtight constructions keep an onion from oxidizing and going bad quickly.
What is the best container for storing onions?
The best container for storing uncut onions is either a basket or a bag. However, cut onions should be put in the fridge in an airtight container to keep them as fresh as possible. For these occasions, we suggest an onion keeper.
What is the best way to store onions to keep them fresh?
The best way to keep onions fresh is by keeping them in a cool, well-ventilated and dry place like a pantry, basket or shelf. If they are placed anywhere with moisture or no air, onions will spoil within a few days.
How do you store a large amount of onions?
Large amounts of onions should be stored in cool and dry conditions. They should also be put at least a few feet away from a wall or other items to allow for proper aeration.
