  • Because Vidalia onions don't keep as well as regular yellow onions I freeze them for pies, omelets, meatloaf, etc. They can be frozen without heating first but they will not keep as long in the freezer this way.

    click on the amazon picture, this will take you to the exact page showing this chopper.
    Thanks for watching. Your comments are always appreciated.

    @Phyllis: I just bought a bag of yellow onions from the grocery 6 days ago. Yesterday I grabbed one out to use and already it was going bad. I don't know if they were the last of last Fall's crop or what but I didnt want to lose them all along with my money
    So I searched this on UA-cam, "How to freeze onions." Your video came up among others. I just watched it and I really enjoyed your video. Although I have never froze onions before, I do know I don't need to look further at more videos. I have followed you about a yr & 1/2 now, tried out many of your recipes, tips & tricks. You've never failed me yet. So tomorrow I'm going to follow your directions for freezing onions. I'm excited about the part that whenever I need onions all I have to do is reach into a bag of ready made. It saves time & money. Thank you for sharing.

    Thank you Miss Phyllis for this video. I've tried freezing yellow onions and they've always thawed out mushy. I'm going to do it this way from now on. I live in Mukwonago Wisconsin and once a year a gentleman from Georgia sells Vidalia onions in huge bags from a semi truck. I'm definitely going to buy some and freeze them like you taught us. Thank you so much for sharing this.

    Ms. Phyllis; I recently discovered your channel, and watch two or three episodes a day. I'm a retired Systems Analyst, so this cooking thing is pretty new to me. Luckily, I have your videos, and a wife, who is an excellent cook in her own right. I was born the same year as you, 1945. Keep up the videos. Thanks, Elmo

    Once again another great video..Thank you..I plant anything I have that sprouts in a pot , including potatoes........They grow and grow and also the greens from the onion is chives..Just leave some chives on each onion so it will continue to live....Potatoes had the sun so cover the green growth with dirt. Yummy juicy potatoes are produced in the pots.

    Another great vid! I have one of those choppers and wouldn't want to be without it. I've had it for 7 or 8 years and have put it through the wringer and it's still performing for me. Sometimes I wish I had two of them when mine's in the dishwasher. You can find them at Kroger and Walgreens and places like that. It was one of the best $20 investments I've made!
    Now, I'm off to check out your onion pie!

    Thanks Ms. Phyllis, I Love your videos. I enjoy Mr. Bucky, also. I have one just like him, married 46 years. He won't let me trash his recliner. Our mistake was buying a couch & recliner in "bonded leather". Before 3 years old both of them started cracking and peeling. We will never buy bonded leather again. I have listened to Mr. Bucky's devotional's and throughly enjoyed them. Have you started building your small home, not tiny house? I haven't seen any videos about your home, also have you sold your older home? I watch every video you tape and Thank you!

      Everything is on hold now because Peppy is sick. He is familiar with our home here and the yard so we want him to live out his life here where everything is the same as he has always known. We took the house off the market in January to make the renovations on the inside of the RV. We finished the renovations in March and Peppy got sick in April - he has good days and some bad days.

      The chips freeze very well, this way you can always have fresh tasting chips. They thaw in seconds.

    Phyllis, God love you, I really enjoy your videos and I've learned a lot. But, you really need to get a non-metal spatula or 3 or 4. And, please stop banging spoons and such on the side of a bowl. In many cases, your pot/bowl is closer to the camera than you are. So that banging and scraping is pretty loud and unpleasant. It would also be helpful if you would keep a towel or something on the tile counter to receive empty pots/bowls/cookie sheets. The sound effects of those items clanging down on the counter are not pleasant. Please don't think I am being a snot. This is meant to be helpful, not to be critical or mean.

  • @doghugger5445
    @doghugger5445 4 роки тому +2

    Another quick way to cool your onions (or any food) is to spread them out on a jelly roll pan. This also allows the onions to release a lot of excess moisture in the form of steam so there is less crystallization in the freezing process. God bless, you Steve, for keeping your mom's channel and her legacy going.
