I know you don't refrigerate onions, but if I chop them do I put them in the refrigerator?

if you chop them you use them to cook with

you put chopped sealed in a bag or container onions in the fridge to prevent them from desicating

Leftovers tho

Why don't you fridge onions before the chop? Makes the vapors less aggressive.

Why would you have leftover chopped onions?

If you only need a little then just chop part of the onion instead of the whole thing. A partially cut onion will keep longer than one that's been fully chopped. It's also more useful since you could chop part of it and then slice the rest, for example.

>Why don't you fridge onions before the chop?
Because whole onions don't keep as long in the fridge.

>vapors
A non-issue if you have a sharp knife and good technique.

Educate thyself

From a restaurant standpoint - yes, anything "opened" must be refrigerated, and disposed of in a certain period of time.

From a home-cooking standpoint - why are you chopping onions you aren't using?

Just freeze them.

What kind of produce should not be refrigerated?

Someone post that .webm

I refrigerate my onions.

If I don't they turn to rotten mush in the humid summer heat.

put the leftovers in the garbage and make less next time.

Same

If I only use half an onion, yeah, I stick the remainder in the fridge.

As for green onions or leeks, I actually plant them in a pot and chop the tops off when I need some. Same with butter lettuce, cilantro, basil, rosemary, dill, and oregano.

>not buying your onions frozen and already chopped

Skill up kid

> I know you don't refrigerate onions,

I have to ask. Do you say this thinking people here are too stupid to refrigerate onions? Or do you think there is something wrong with refrigerating onions?

I do it all the time and they work fine. If you leave them in the refrigerator a few months, you might have problems.

And one added advantage to refrigerating onions is that it makes far easier on your eyes to slice them.

leftovers though.
