How To Store Garlic and Onion Perfectly. When we buy garlic and onion, often if stored for a long time and in the wrong place they tend to get damaged. You know which is their biggest enemy? L’humidity.

So you already know that if you are among those who spoil these ingredients, you have to store them in a dry and cool place. Never ever close them in plastic bags, because their release of moisture would accelerate the mold process.

So where to keep them?  Never ever in the refrigerator. They would get soggy in no time.

This advice I am about to give you applies to both garlic and onion. If you have a lot available, before it spoils I suggest you finely chop it into cubes, put it in a food bag and place it in the freezer.

If it is little, where to store it?

If you plan to reuse garlic or onion in the following ones 2 the 3 days it will be sufficient to place it in a container with an airtight lid in the refrigerator, in the fruit drawer.

In our country, the sauté is the basis of many preparations, therefore you can also treat celery and carrot in the same way to prevent them from wilting completely.

Conclusions

Garlic and onion are widely used in pizzerias, therefore these topics are dealt with during the course of our professional pizza chef practical courses that we carry out weekly in our pizza chef school. If you want more information about our workshops, click here.
