This is absolutely the BEST way to store onions long term.
We already ran through one batch and it was such a time saver!
You've GOT to try this.

I've been doing this for years, absolutely love it - but I do one thing differently. After I chop my onions for the freezer I spread them out on cookie sheets and "flash freeze" them before putting them in ziploc bags. The onions never stick together that way and I can use bigger bags to freeze them in. Same deal for peppers - I cut them in strips or dices or nice big chunks and flash freeze them. Sometimes I even mix onions and peppers together since I use them together so often. It makes all the difference when you can just reach in and grab a handful or so out. :)
I don’t use the cookie sheet. I just fill up a 1 gallon freezer bag and freeze. The next day I pull the bag out and tap the bag on counter top and then everything is loose as if I froze it individually. I do the same with peppers.
I do this with blue berries and whole strawberries
I flash freeze blackberries. Works out great!
Just like a bag of ice... nice!!
love love love that chop wizard!!!!!
Amen… That thing is so cool. And fast! 😊
I do this and freeze them in measured portions into snack-size bags. I then put them into gallon-size freezer bags. So if I just need enough for a medium onion, that equals about a cup of diced onion. It is premeasured and so easy!
That's a great idea too... double bagging should help with the odor too
I have the Sharper Image version of the same chopper. Bought it a number of years ago. Take your process 1 step further and dehydrate some of those onions. Less dependence on a freezer, if/when the grid goes down. Usually, there's more storage room in a pantry than in a freezer. Nor concerns about the ice cream smelling like onion. And.... there's one more! Dehydrated onion can be quickly turned into onion granules and onion powder using a blender or coffee grinder set aside for this purpose.
As you said, it's always good to have fresh onion on hand. And multiple backup ways to prolong the life of the harvest.
Thanks for sharing. God Bless.
I dehydrated some a few years ago, and thought about doing it with some of these too.
Just might...
Yep, done this for years with my onions. I also do green peppers that I am going to cook with. Both work out great, Saves so much time with prep.
Yes it does... thanks for the comment!
I've been doing this for years. It's such a time saver and easy to do.
👍😎
I have done this for years using the Chop Wizard. Only problem is that it’s hard to keep the freezer from smelling like onions in just the freezer bags. I generally put the bags into a large glass jar with a lid to cut down on odors. Alternatively you can use a large bag to hold several small bags. The double bagging helps, but glass works best.
Thanks, Linda. I might double bag mine too ... or try the jars!!
For sure Alan saving time and prep easiest way. Thanks for the ideas.
You bet
I am a fairly new subscriber. Have learned so much from you. Watching your older videos. Thank you
Well, thanks for subbing and thanks for watching!
Good to have you Lynn 👍😎
I've had one of those little chopper gadgets for years, but instead of freezing them, I pressure can them in pint jars.
Some I use chicken broth from bouillon cube and others I do beef broth from bouillon cube.
If I want to fry them, I just put them in at seive and rinse them out and fry them in bacon grease, as a rule. They are already cooked, of course, but they still import a good flavor to scrambled eggs and stuff.
Pressure canning them allows me to keep them for pretty much ever without refrigeration, which in my case is no big deal, unless the grid fails and we all know it can. It did a couple years ago; remember snowmageddon?
Interesting... thanks for the tips!
Yes, I froze alot of mine also and Peppers ,so nice to have already cut for cooking ,
But what you have reviewed here , is a must on my list now ,
Thank you Allen.
Mrs Josette- Texas
Good to hear from you Josette.
Thanks for watching!
Thx for this GREAT video! My method of food preservation is freezing so I really appreciate this process. Thx for sharing!❤
You are so welcome!
We love the vacuum seal method but we vacuum seal about everything and it makes everything taste as fresh as when you first sealed it
I probably should vac these, but I don't think they will last long anyway 😎
Love that gadget! Double bag freezer onions.
Yes.. that's what someone else said..."double bag"
Great idea! 👍
Thanks!
Thanks TP
You bet!
Lol have exact same chopper and do exactly the same thing. And with bell peppers. I also buy regular spinach, throw it in a zippy bag, flat, and into the freezer...when we want spinach we just break some off. Much easier than waiting in frozen spinach to thaw and drain. It's also a money saver. Sometimes you just need a little spinach, not a whole bag or box.
Thanks for the tips!
Lol, well thanks for all your tips! And the Bible verses!!
GOOD VIDEO MAN!!!
Thanks, Emory!
You can dehydrate them as well for long term storage!
Tfs! Please stay safe and sending hugs to you both 💜🙏😎
Thanks Vikki... ! 😎
Been doing frozen chopped onions for years. Works really well.
Great.
Thanks, Charlene!
I just used my chopper and put 2 gallons of onions in the freezer, I do a lot of my peppers the same way. The other peppers I freeze whole. Froze whole jalapeños make great jalapeño poppers because the peppers cook faster because freezing helps break down the peppers cell wall.
Great tips, thanks!
First time I saw the chop wizard used was by Donald the Cajun Gardner (RIP). It's a great product, and especially for those that may have some physical limitations with hands. As always great info.
Yep.. I miss Ol' Donald... always had good videos
We have one of those. Great for mass quantities. The pampered chef makes a good one for small jobs that requires more slamming.
Nice... thanks! :)

Hi from Arizona zone 9b. Thanks for the tips. We are starting our fall seeds this week! Can't to plant everything in the fall.
Everything is burning up here... I don't see how y'all raise *_anything_* in the desert 9b
@@BIGALTX its a great challenge. we mostly plant in the fall just so the trees and plants can build a root structure 10 months ahead of time! BUT sometimes that's not even good enough... it has taken a life time of trial and error... lol
I have three of these choppers that I have bought at garage sales. Every year a local masonic lodge sells bags of the Vidalia onions as a fundraiser. We always buy three bags and chop them up and put them in our freezer to use during the year. They never last a whole year.
Thanks for the confirmation!
Saw old Donald the Bayou Gardener do that several years ago with onions as well as bell peppers. I went right out andbought one. Sadly he is decased now.
That old Cajun is the reason I bought my onion chopper. He is definitely missed. I still watch his shows
Yep, the Cajun Gardener is missed by many.
I really enjoy his videos
genius ty
You bet!
Try it
Same except I vacuum seal mine.
I might vac the next batch. Thanks!
I've been doing this for years, however I was taught to blanch them before freezing. I also like to freeze onion, bell pepper, and tomatoes together. So many recipes require all these together.
Lots of folks commenting here about freezing.
No one else said anything about blanching.
Try some without blanching.. no sense wasting time and energy if it's not necessary
@@BIGALTX That's how I was taught. I've also learned I can freeze patio tomatoes without blanching. Will be trying freezing your way.
hey tp i have a question...first year growing onions and they never got skinny necks. I let em go till almost july and i pressed the tops down, i let em dry but the bottoms are already starting to go brown. any idea what i did wrong?
Not sure... might be a variety of onion that I'm not familiar with
My frozen onions were vacuumed sealed and I find them wet and soggy - only good for cooking- am I doing something wrong?
Freezing makes them soft and not very good for fresh eating but great and easy for cooking
@@DV-ol7vt got it thank you so much
Yep... they won't keep their consistency for fresh eating, but do great in cooking
Who says nothing’s impossible in this world ? I've been doing nothing for years...😂
Hahaha... so true! 😎
Newbies: It's really important to cut the onions TOP to BOTTOM, and, to clean out any gunk between chops. I didn't. I broke my unit on the first day. : (
Good tips, thanks!
@@BIGALTX I think I've fixed it. One of the blades was knocked out of position, and I tapped it back. I'll be more careful in future!
