Best Place to store Onions and Potatoes

They cause so much smell around them … so I have placed them in the corner of the house that is not the common use area , it is next to the back door , so it can get damp sometimes .. and that is making the onions go off real quick :no:

If i try placing then somewhere in the kitchen , the issue of smell remains … any options that you guys can share with me?

Re: Best Place to store Onions and Potatoes

I put them in the fridge....in other homes, I have seen them out in the kitchen and I have never noticed an odor ever. onoins dont give off smell until they're cut....and potatoes def dont give a smell

Re: Best Place to store Onions and Potatoes

:no: CB they dont smell unless they get really old and spoilt…
We hv them in one corner in the kitchen…

just make sure u dont buy a lot at a time…they wont smell within a week or two…

Re: Best Place to store Onions and Potatoes

Why don't you process them and put them in a ziplock box or any box or pan which has air tight lid and then store them in your fridge ?
We keep ours in our garage.

Re: Best Place to store Onions and Potatoes

in a netting, cool dry place.
I keep mine in the kitchen near the window ..... haven't had any smelly/rotting issues ....... but then the dry climate of my place vs the damp of UK probably has quite a bit to do with this.

Re: Best Place to store Onions and Potatoes

We keep ours in the garage and in the winter in the storage room because our garage is detached.

Do you have a storage area that is on the lower level of the house, dry and cool?

Re: Best Place to store Onions and Potatoes

CB we keep outs in the kitchen and they never smell.....

I wonder if you keep yours for too long?

Re: Best Place to store Onions and Potatoes

At home, we keep them in the veg stand thing in the kitchen, and they don't ever smell, but mummy tends to buy them every few days, so it may be because you are keeping them longer.

Re: Best Place to store Onions and Potatoes

Ours last for about a month… And never smell… What u doin girl :hoonh: ?

Mine are in a woven twig basket in the pantry.

Re: Best Place to store Onions and Potatoes

you should not keep open onions and open potatoes together as they give off chemicals that make each other go off quicker. make sure u store in bags or containers seperate.

Re: Best Place to store Onions and Potatoes

Where ever you store them, keep them separately. Anyway I love the smell of onion!
