you can use one to clean your microwave.

Juice of lemon into bowl of water. water into micro and heat on high for 2 mins. leave door closed for further minute so steam can loosen the splattered stuff that's been baked on.

:whistle:

try again...maybe the lemon will hide the smell of the onion and your micro will be extra sparkly

Here are some interesting bits I found in my google search:

Stuff the onions in a panty hose and hang from ceiling. A basement is great if you have one. Onions will last for up to 6 months.

Carmelized onions freeze well and are delicious for all sorts of things--soups, appetizers, pizzas, burger toppings etc. It takes like 2 lbs of onions to make 1 cup of carmelized onions so you can see the storage advantages there.

Easiest way: I chop them and freeze them in tupperware boxes if there is any empty space in the freezer, but then I use lots of onions in my cooking, so there is never any to freeze in spite of me buying them in 5 kg sacks.:)

Onion bhaji for breakfast anyone :rotfl:

You can have toast with scrambled eggs and onion for breakfast. My sons love this :-) Not on arepas, but on toast.

Put them in the lamb, olive and caramelised tagine that I made last week, would be better than the jar stuff I used!

I will be freezing them I expect. May take some to work for lunch - jacket spud and philly light, would be lovely on top. Also I am making some hm tom sauce so may mix with pasta, top with onions and bake.

I only have 8 onions left :eek:. But it is ok as Aldi have red onions as one on their Super Six :rotfl:.

Claimed an Arcadia voucher off CP.

I mix caramelised onions with stock to make a quick onion gravy to go with sausage and mash.
