Do you have a veg bowl?

[NotUmbongoUnchained]

My cousin has made fun of my veg bowl. Apparently I’m the only person she knows who has one!

I keep veg that doesn’t need to be kept cold in there, as my fridge would be too full for other things.

Am I weird?? Do you have one???

A veg bowl sounds very sensible.

I have a basket that lives in a cupboard.

I have one for onions and potatoes

I have veg drawers in a cupboard (wire baskets on runners) I keep fruit in there too.

I've got a 3 tier veg rack for the onions, potatoes and other 'doesn't need to be in the fridge' stuff.

Trug here, under the sink.

I have a large plastic basket on legs thing for all that stuff. It lives on the kitchen counter. But you gave me a great idea, OP.

Off to putt some washed veg out with the fruit in the fruit bowl! Both DD and I prefer veg to fruit. Now how handy would it be to have some ready washed carrots and bits of broccoli nicely laid out in said bowl (rather than random dishes of veg left out next to it)?

Genius! Thanks OP!

It’s normal
I have one
Onions/garlic etc

I have a wooden veg crate. Some veg shouldn't be kept in the fridge! All my tatties, onions, tomatoes etc go in the crate.

I have a garlic and avocado bowl 😎 all the veg gets thrown in a wooden crate I have on a shelve. Don't think I've got a bowl big enough for my tatties

How do your potato’s/onions stay fresh? Maybe it’s because I mainly cook for just me but if I leave potato’s or onions out of the fridge (and I also tried keeping them in a dark cupboard) they just sprout and I end up throwing them away.

I've got a fruit bowl and two veg bowls. Where else do people keep veg? I keep salad in the fridge but there's not room for all of it and not everything needs to be cold.

She's weird. She's missing out.

Where do you keep the crate @CaliforniaDream? I like the idea of that.

My long term plan is a small under-stair pantry, but we're not there yet.

I think that’s very sensible. I have a pantry cupboard for cold dark stuff and two fridges for everything else. I don’t have a fruit bowl either though, I don’t eat much fruit and what we do have lives in the fridge.

normal
we have baskets though so they can 'breathe' and don't go mushy.

I have a veg bowl! Do ridicules it but I knew it was a normalish thing to have!

Oh thank god. Come to think of it all if my friends keep there’s in the fridge too!

I love my veg bowl.

Yep got a veg bowl and also an ikea plastic tub thing in the cupboard for potatoes and onions. Come to think of it I don’t know why I keep those separately... I maybe think they like it better in the dark?!

Same. . Veg baskets in the larder. Salad stuff in the fridge except tomatoes.

I do. I forget it's in the fridge otherwise where it will turn mouldy and disgusting. I think it's an eye sore but it's necessary

I have a veg drawer for tatties and a veg basket tiered thing in the utility room for onions garlic etc.

Pp you should NEVER keep potatoes in the fridge. It's makes them toxic. (And taste rubbish).

I have a huge cupboard under the stairs and I have made it into a pantry with my fridge/freezer/cereal and loads of other stuff in there but I have a veg basket, does that count?

My potatoes are in a potato store basket, onions in a bowl, carrots in foil in the fridge as they last longer that way.

Garlic is popped into the potato basket.I keep a tea towel over the open bit to stop the light getting in.

Leeks, cauliflower, cabbage etc. in fridge.

I have a three tier veg rack although one tier is full of carrier bags

I have a veg Tupperware (without its lid) for potatoes, onions and garlic. Now I feel I should buy a nice bowl instead!

You aren’t supposed to keep tomatoes in the fridge?????? We keep salad things in the fridge, potatoes, onions and garlic in a drawer.
