can i freeze onions?

Answer 1

YOU SURE CAN -- THE ONLY THING IS THEY ARE MUSHY WHEN YOU DEFROST THEM.

Answer 2

Here is a good way to save them:
Peel and slice your onions to fill a large crock pot. Chunk a stick of butter in small pieces over the top, turn on low and cook for 12-14 hours.
Divide into zip lock bags and freeze!

Answer 3

My family always freezes onions, wild ones though. They always put water in the bag, then they put them in the freezer. I would imagine it would be the same with other onions, although I never tried it though.

Answer 4

I'd chop them up first and freeze them. They have frozen onions in bags in the grocery store.

Answer 5

I do all the time. When you've chopped more than you need for a recipe, wrap in some plastic wrap, and stick in a ziploc. Also I do this with celery, because I never use it all before it goes bad. Sometimes the same with baby carrots.

Answer 6

Preparation:
Peel and dice or slice.
Blanching Time:
Blanching is not required. Onions are frozen raw.
Pack:
No headspace necessary.
