Here's the beauty of this:
*I get to use my cool big processor (which I will need a new one of very soon - this one was a wedding gift and so is almost 12 years old!)
*I don't get ANY tears
*All the onions get used - no waste!
*When I need onions for a recipe th
I had heard that onions gain strength when they are frozen and I have to be honest that I have not noticed a difference. This works so well for me I've decide to expand on the idea. So, yesterday I was making a new crockpot recipe (that bombed, but you don't know unless you try!) that called for small amounts of green pepper and celery. So, I drug out my processor and set to work. I did the same thing for those two that I do for onions. I have not tried to use the frozen veggies yet, but I am assuming the results will be as good as the onions.
Happy Freezing!

At our last cooking day I had lots of onions leftover and knew I would never use them all before they rotted. So I chopped and froze them just like you explained (except, I don't have a food processor and onions don't make me cry so I chopped them). I LOVE grabbing a ready to go bag! And they thaw so easily in the micro.
Keep the ideas coming!
Hey, that just makes sense! You might as well cut a bunch if you're cutting a little...thanks for sharing!
I don't cook with onions but I've done this with chicken and ground beef for years. Big time saver if you have the freezer space!
